Yes. We believe breeding claims should be supported by real-world results.

Our dogs actively participate in training, sport, and performance environments, and achievements help guide future breeding decisions.

Health and longevity are foundational priorities at Mockingbird Border Collies. Every breeding decision is made with the goal of producing structurally sound, mentally stable dogs capable of long, active lives.

Breeding dogs undergo appropriate health screening prior to inclusion in the program.

Health evaluations include:

• Hip evaluation

• Elbow evaluation

• Shoulder evaluation

• Cardiac, patella, and hearing evalutions

• Genetic screening relevant to the Border Collie breed

• Eye examinations performed by a veterinary ophthalmologist

• Overall structural and temperament evaluation

Health testing is one component of responsible breeding, alongside temperament, working ability, and long-term soundness.

We breed selectively and do not maintain frequent or continuous litters.

Each breeding is planned based on long-term program goals rather than demand.

We work collaboratively with approved homes, but final placement decisions are made by Mockingbird Border Collies.

We evaluate temperament, drive level, and developmental traits to match each puppy with the environment where they will thrive.

Yes. Approved applicants may be placed on a waitlist for future litters aligned with their goals.
