All Border Collies in the UK were, at that time, registered with ISDS, and the newly registered KC dogs had dual registration. Puppy mills never allow prospective puppy buyers to visit. The strong herding instinct and intelligence is prized by shepherds, and their focus is naturally upon maintaining and improving upon the natural herding ability of the breed. Such titles indicate that the breeder has spent time (often considerable) working with the dogs in various events, and the dogs have not just been used for breeding. Further development of the breed occurred in the twentieth century. The breed originated in Northumberland on the borders of England and Scotland, having been developed over centuries for herding sheep. Border Collies are amazing dogs and we wouldn't be without them, but living with a Border Collie is not for everyone. If you still believe that a Border Collie is for you and are interested in getting a puppy from Rigel Border Collies, then please contact us using the link below.

We only breed occasionally, and always with a reason.

Details are on the dogs' individual pages. It also gives an opportunity to meet the breeders since a responsible breeder will offer lifetime follow-up support and guidance in raising the puppy.

The last dog shows were in early 2020, and it appears unlikely that there will be any more until well into 2021.

The first recorded trial occurred in Wales in 1873. Sharp, a smooth-coated (border) collie pictured right with the queen, was born in 1854 and became a favorite and constant companion to the queen. Many of the modern Border Collie show lines (including ours) derive from this type. Old Hemp, a rough coat tri-color dog bred by Adam Telfer in 1893 from a strong-eyed, reticent mother (dam) and a loose-eyed but good-natured father (sire), moved sheep intensely but quietly unlike the louder sheepdogs of the era and was far more mild-mannered (biddable). Their coat is short, but has an undercoat to act as insulation from cold or heat. Consequently, AKC guidelines require that responsible breeders will not breed a dog under 2 years of age since it will not have obtained full hip clearances at the time of breeding. The parents of the current litter come from the best Australian show lines, have proven themselves in both the conformation show ring and in performance events, have full health clearances, and they have great temperaments. The last type is named after an Old Hemp grandson, Herdman’s Tommy. She owned many (border) collies during her long reign. Our dogs are AKC registered conformation champions and, while they are descended from Wiston Cap and proven in herding, you should be aware of this if you purchase a puppy from us and plan to train with an ABCA member herding trainer. Adopting a Border Collie pup is a big ~15 year commitment, so please do your homework if you have never owned a Border Collie and feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Reputable breeders will encourage approved puppy buyers to visit and meet their dogs. There is no better indication of what the puppy will grow up to be like than meeting the parents! ISDS leadership was split regarding working with the KC when the KC recognized the breed in 1976. The name comes from a dog called Whitehope Nap (born 1951). If you are considering a puppy from elsewhere, be sure to ask the breeder about how good the mother has been at caring for her pups. Recognition of the Border Collie by AKC in 1995 was therefore vehemently opposed by ABCA, and they have stated that any ABCA registered dog will be automatically deregistered by ABCA if it achieves an AKC conformation championship, regardless of herding ability. Certain ABCA members therefore have a strong prejudice against AKC registered Border Collies. Reputable breeders, unlike puppy mills and backyard breeders, do not end up making money from the sale of puppies (although you may have to pay slightly more to buy a puppy from a reputable breeder since their costs are significantly higher). Co.: Old Hemp epitomized the Northumbrian Type of Border Collie; medium-sized with a rough coat and very little white trim. Breed standards are written to describe the physical structure of a dog and, for the Border Collie, have been written to define those aspects of structure that contribute to the working style of the dog and the four recognizable "types" described above. Genetic problems with the sire / dam will be passed on directly to the puppies they produce, and structural problems are highly likely to be passed on from one generation to the next. This type is known for its good nature, power, and strong-headedness. We have been delighted to observe that this has passed on to Chloe, who could not be a better mother. There are many places you can get a puppy and the choices can be confusing. Physically, Tommy was a medium-sized dog with a lot of bone. Three of the four main breeding lines tracing back to Old Hemp go through Tommy. MS (Ed.
