Our Mission
The Do-It-All Dog
Our mission at Mockingbird Border Collies is to produce a versatile, do it all companion suited for many lifestyles. We believe that in its essence, the border collie is a working breed and aim to preserve that instinct while maintaining quality structure and temperaments. We are also firm believers in backing our claims with titles!
How are we working towards these goals?
All of our dogs are working towards, or have earned, the BCSA Versatility award. We believe this is a great foundation to proving versatility, as well as awarding our dogs for their accomplishments. In order to achieve this award, the dog must have a minimum of three competitive titles and a mandatory herding title. As you look through our dogs, you will notice most are titled in far more than just three events. We believe that more is always better, and take every opportunity we can to exhibit and work our dogs.
Why do we do non competitive titles?
You have probably noticed all of our dogs have non competitive titles! While we do not breed dogs based on these titles, we strongly believe that there is no title too small. We have found that these titles lay great groundwork for performance dogs, while some we do just because they're fun!
