Bur Hill Border Collies



Welcome to Bur Hill Border Collies.

We are a small farmstead located in the Tillsonburg area of southern Ontario (30 minutes southeast of London). In addition to selling an extensive line of natural remedies for people, pets and livestock, we also raise purebred Border Collies. Our niche is in providing pups that make wonderful family pets for active families. Our pups also do well in recreational sports and herding.

Our Girls


Katie is a beautiful black and white rough coated border collie who is very bright and teachable. Her temperament is a perfect cross of her mother's liveliness and her father's laid back friendliness. She is very affectionate and has that soft disposition that we like so much. Like all our dogs, she loves children and enjoys playing their games.



Jess is a handsome red and white rough coated border collie from Roxy and has that terrific temperament that is so important to us. She is very alert and bright and has a lot of style. She is also very easy going and loves playing with our children. She is a favourite with our girls and their friends when they play "obedience school" with each child working with a dog.



Nellie is a very sleek and stylish rough coated border collie who has the great looks and moves of her mom Cindy. Besides being a real softy who loves affection and being walked by our children, Nellie is also a quick learner and likes to please.


Shannon is a very handsome red and white rough coated border collie out of Roxy and Roy. She has a wonderful easy going, biddable temperament and has been an incredibly easy dog to train. Shannon is a favourite of people who come to visit us and exemplifies the type of dog we produce.


Heidi is a beautiful red and white border collie out of Jess and Roy. She is a low demand, amiable dog who loves playing with children and finding all sorts of ways to entertain herself. Her coat is a rich red with lots of curls and she has the sturdy structure that we like. She has inherited all the strong points of her parents which makes her such a friendly, well adjusted dog who gets along so well with all people and dogs.


Penny is a handsome black and white border collie out of Nellie and Roy. She has a very sweet and gentle disposition and enjoys playing with our children and their friends, especially doing agility. She also enjoys playing with our young puppies and is very patient with all their antics. Penny has undergone additional training in the Oakville area and had a terrific time at the Royal Winter Fair, going to restaurants with her 'service dog in training' jacket on, going to Church, riding on the bus and meeting people in shopping malls. We will be doing more therapy dog training with Penny.



Marlo is a gorgeous offspring from Shannon and Glen. Just one look at her and you know immediately who her dad is. Marlo is a wonderful blend of energy and mellowness. She has inherited her mom's low key disposition, and her dad's intelligence and amiable good nature. We have enjoyed training her as she enjoys learning and wants to please. She likes to play with our children and is quite the snuggle bug.






Our Boys



Roy is a wonderful red and white border collie which we imported from Angus county, Scotland. He comes from a working sheep farm near Forfar and has sheep herding experience. He also has a great off-switch and is happy to take it easy. Roy is a very handsome boy with a great temperament. He is extremely gentle and affectionate and loves our children. He is very easy going and has a relaxed outlook on life. He has the kind of temperament that will give us the family pet type of pups we have become known for. It is important for us that we produce border collies that are easy to live with and make great companions.






Glen is a handsome black and white border collie we have brought over from England. He is very smart, has lots of spunk, is very outgoing and loves children. Although energetic and playful, he also has an excellent off switch and is very easy going. We are so pleased how similar in temperament he is to Roy. Glen gets along wonderfully with everyone including all other dogs and truly epitomizes a happy dog.




Andy is a gorgeous red and white, ISDS registered border collie who we imported from England. He has amazed us with how smart, well-behaved and teachable he is. He has a wonderful, easy going attitude, has integrated fantastically with all our dogs, and is a lot of fun to work with. This dog is truly happy! Nothing spoils his day.




Our Pups

 

Our puppies are vet checked, dewormed, micro-chipped, have first shots, and are well socialized in a family setting. They are sold on a spay/neuter contract and are registered with the Canadian Border Collie Association. Our puppies are 8 weeks old before we allow them to go to their new homes. This enables them to become well socialized with ourselves and our four children before they go to be with their new owners.

Temperament is one of the most important aspects of our dogs. They adore children, are very loving and gentle, and are wonderful family pets.

All of our breeding stock has been tested clear for hips and eyes (CERF). Also, all our dogs are DNA normal for Collie Eye Anomaly (either by testing or by parentage).


Current Litter:

Jess and Glen had 7 beautiful black and white pups on January 20, 2012 There are 3 females and 4 males. We are taking reservations for this litter.

Upcoming Litter:

Skye and Robbie are expecting a litter due February 11, 2012. The pups will likely be all black and white. Preliminary pictures will be posted when the pups are a week old. We are taking reservations for this litter.


Please note: our preferred method of initial contact is by email. We are careful where we place our pups. We are also very busy with our dogs and we do receive a lot of email. So please be patient for a reply.

We ask that if you are interested in our pups, please tell us where you live, your age, some details about yourself and your living and work situation, how physically active you are, previous experience with dogs and how much time the pup will be left alone during the week. Also, please include your phone number. One line emails will not receive a reply!
If you do not have the time to tell us about yourself, then a border collie is not the breed for you!

To be considered as prospective owners of our pups, you will need to fill in our Adoption Questionnaire.
