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 manufacturing 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


Cindy is a black and white, rough coated Border Collie with a wonderful temperament. She has a strong herding instinct and loves to work our geese. She is also extremely patient and gentle and absolutely adores children (we have 4 young children). She also enjoys babysitting other dog's puppies and is the self-imposed "auntie" of the young dogs in our kennel.





Lass is a tri-colour, rough coated Border Collie with a very pretty face. She loves playing with our children and riding in their wagon. Besides being a superb frisbee catcher, Lass enjoys playing house with our girls and also playing veterinary clinic where she happily has her teeth checked, a splint put on her leg and falls asleep after being put to bed in the "hospital".



Roxy is a beautiful red and white, rough coated Border Collie with a gentle and loving temperament, and a strong herding instinct. Besides playing with our children (she is our self-imposed babysitter), Roxy's favourite pastime is watching our geese.

Update June 2009: Roxy has now been retired from our breeding program and is enjoying her new life with her new family near Campbellville Ontario.

 

Maggie is a very stylish young red and white rough coated Border Collie. Besides being a beautiful red and looking much like her half-sister Roxy, Maggie has that wonderful gentle and affectionate temperament that Roxy is famous for. Maggie also has inherited the strong herding instinct from her parents and loves to herd the geese, chickens and other dogs. She is a very happy dog and is a delight to watch as she has great form and structure. Like all our dogs, she loves children and likes to be with them when they are playing.

Update June 2009: Maggie has now been retired from our breeding program and is happily living with her new owners in Milton Ontario.



Clare is a very athletic rough coated tri-colour Border Collie with an extremely bright, cheerful disposition. She loves everyone, and is very fond of children. She is incredibly muscular and is proving to be the fastest dog we own. She has a wonderful, amiable outlook on life. Her gentle nature and her biddable, affectionate temperament has made her a favourite on our property.



Katie, who we sometimes call Cindy Junior, because she looks so much like her mom, 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. We often have to look twice to make sure it is her and not her mom.



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.



Our Boy



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.

He is available for stud service for approved border collie bitches. Please see our stud page for more information and pictures.








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).

Current Litters:

Lass had 3 beautiful puppies on May 17, 2009. She has 3 males. Roy is the sire. The pups are all black & white and black and white tri-colour. There is one pup still available (Rolo). Lass took us by surprise with this litter. She was not scheduled to be bred at this time and was kept under top security during her heat, but secretly took matters into her own hands. We have had to have the pups DNA'd to determine for certainty who the dad is, and have received the lab results that Roy is indeed the sire. Please see pictures below.

Nellie had 10 beautiful puppies on June 19, 2009. She has 7 females and 3 males. Roy is the sire. The pups are all black and white. We are taking reservations for her litter. Please see pictures below. Update: One pup, Sandy, who was so tiny, passed away June 30.


Clare had 7 beautiful puppies on June 1, 2009. She has 4 females and 3 males. Roy is the sire. The pups are black and white and black and white tri-colour. There is one spot left for males on Clare's reservation list. Please see pictures below
.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Please note: our preferred method of initial contact is by email. We ask that if you are interested in our pups, please tell us where you live and some details about yourself and your living situation, previous experience with dogs and how much time the pup will be left alone during the week.
