Frequently Asked Questions
What do the pups cost?
Our 2025 pups will start at $425 each, with a $200 deposit upfront to claim the pup.
How big will the dogs be?
Our dogs are medium sized — the females range from 30-35 lbs, and the males range from 35-45 lbs once matured.
Will the pups be rough (long) haired or slick (short) haired?
Our puppies range from short to medium hair length.
Do you have any Border Collie pups in other colors?
Yes! Tate and Maple’s offspring is primarily black and white, but they also have thrown sables, black-and-tans, and lighter colored sables without the dark shading. (See “Past Pups” for photos of these different colors.)
Will all of the pups have freckles?
Most of our puppies do have freckles or “ticking”, but not all.
What do you do to make sure you find good homes for your pups?
Great question! We take care in selecting buyers for our animals. We visit with them at length to learn what they’re looking for, and to see if one of our dogs would be a good match. We highly encourage potential buyers to come out and meet us and the dogs in person beforehand, if at all possible! Beyond that, we also require information for reference of good ownership.
Are the dogs up to date on shots?
Yes! We get our pups on a vaccination schedule at 8 weeks of age. This is for the Parvo/Distemper shots. Our adult dogs we also keep up to date for Rabies and Distemper.
Can I come meet the pups?
Absolutely! Text Nicole at 406-350-2880 to learn which dogs are available and schedule a visit.
