Red-Dawn border collie puppies are individually handled and trained each day. They are played with, held, socialized, crate trained and potty trained. Stimulating their mind at a young age helps ensure our puppies grow up to be very well rounded adults. Starting at 6 weeks old we spend time each day documenting each pup's development. You'll see the below Temperament Test scores for "Fern" showing his individual personality. "Fern" is leash trained, started in obedience commands,  well socialized, crate trained, doing great with his house training, social with all people and pets, stable & shows good drive.

Our pups are Temperament tested at 6 weeks as recommended by the authorities. Using the results ensures you pick a border collie puppy with the right temperament for you. Volhard Temperament Test Scores (see this link to read the test & interpret the scores): This puppy was tested on March 7, 2006.

"Fern" is an affectionate girl, likes to sit in laps, is moderately playful but has a nice off switch and is a medium energy/ medium-low drive temperament. She's an avid bug hunter just like her mom Katie, she stalks grasshoppers and sometimes is quick enough to catch one. Fern can self-entertain well. Fern will have a medium/long length coat, moderate athletic build, about 19" and 35-40# when grown. She is a good candidate for conformation, local-level agility and obedience competition. Fern does very well with other pets and with small children.
