I'm a farm owner in sequim,wa we have a litter of border collie sheltie mixes. Both parents are on-site. We do not have accidental breedings. We love our dogs and they live inside with our family. We decided to have a litter when we almost lost our female last year to a mystery illness caused by eagles dropping salmon on our farm. After we almost lost her we decided to breed some she is the best family dog we have ever owned and has a beautiful bond with every family member.
