About our place

I'm the breeder behind Best Friend Borders located in Usk, WA. Our dogs are awesome family pets for active families with a bit of space to run, and have the breeding to be superior working dogs. I am my dogs' "mom" and our dogs are members of our family. As a child we had a couple acres, some sheep and a Border Collie. I've loved Border Collies ever since. We live in an unincorporated, semi-rural setting. We have a large fenced in yard with room for our dogs. I am an Art Teacher at our local public school and teach all grades, K-12. My husband is retired from a 24 year career in the Army. Gary's retirement brought us the space and stability we needed to adopt our Border Collies. Rosebud joined us in May of 2016 and we added Scout to our family in 2017. We knew we wanted to train them on sheep and have a couple litters. I've always been impressed by the intelligence and problem solving ability of Border Collies. We love our dogs and are proud of their puppies! Our dogs have energy and intelligence typical of Border Collies. They have shown tremendous herding ability and both have been bred to be working dogs. Scout has champion heritage and Rosebud was the fastest learner her trainer ever trained. They are also loving and obedient family dogs. Our puppies live in our house and are used to our many visitors. All our dogs are regular patients of our Vet.
