Red-Dawn border collie puppies are individually handled and trained each day. They are played with, handled, 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 "Lilly" showing her individual personality.

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.
