Oh please think long and hard before buying an un registered collie. They have a very high occurance of heriditerary diseases and usually the only reason people do not register puppies is to side skirt the recommended health checks. See below:

''....... health problems that a Border Collie may experience in its lifetime. The most common of these is Hip Dysplasia. It is a genetic disease and has been claimed to be inherited from the dogs parents. Not only is hereditary, it is also caused by many environmental factors, like weight and diet. It ranges in severity from dog to dog, dependant on age amongst other things, and can be very painful for a border collie. You are most likely to spot the dog limping and having difficulty getting up from a lying position, and it generally portrays signs when a dog is between the ages of four and nine months. There are ways in which you can manage this disease, including different food supplements and other vitamins.

Another thing that is very common in Border Collies is a congenital, inherited disease called Collie Eye Anomaly. It effects the retina, choroid and sclera in the dogs eye, and is caused by abnormal development of the eye. It doesn’t generally significantly impair a dogs vision, but it can happen very rarely but it is known in Collies as a mild disease. There is a DNA test available now to ensure that breeders do not produce affected puppies. Another disease that Border Collies are prone to getting is epilepsy, however like human epilepsy, the disease can be controlled by medication. It can be both acquired and congenital and involves the dog having seizures. This can be very frightening for a dog owner, as there are three “phases” to the seizures, all of which are unpleasant.

Also, like Hip Dysplasia, there is another disease that affects the joints that a Border Collie can get. It is called Osteochondritis Disease, and it can be hereditary, environmental, or dietary, but generally now, both parents are screened for this to ensure no affected puppies. There are a number of diseases that have been found in Border Collies but these are less common. They include Elbow Dysplasia and Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis. This is very severe, but thankfully very rare and a dog with this disease rarely lives for longer than two years''


Buying a KC or ISDS puppy goes some way to making sure the breeders have done their best to ensure their puppies are unaffected, but always ask the breeder what their health screening policy is.

Modified to add: It is not the registration in itself that is important, but the health checks the breeder has undertaken to ensure puppies that are as healthy and long lived as possible. This advertisement does not mention anything about health screening so I would be wary. Plus they seem expensive for unregistered or health screened puppies.

Hi,
If you are willing to wait then this may be of interest......

I have recently bred my red and white dog to my tri-coloured bit*h who also has a red gene.
Pups will be due end of Jan, and ready to go at 8 weeks, so spring basically.

Both these dogs are ISDS registered and very well bred with lines including trial champions on both sides. They are CEA tested clear.

I work both of these and have bred them to produce a puppy for me to keep and train on. I breed for temperament and trainability, both the parents have fantastic loving, and trainable attitudes to life.

Puppies will be available to approved homes, they will be microchipped, vacinated and well socialised before leaving me, I am farm based and pups will have met chickens, cats, used to house hold noises (washing machines, television, hoover etc). I will provide a good puppy pack, including food, pups are on worming and de-fleaing programmes. The puppies will be in the house and garden during the day (when old enough) and in the kennels overnight.

I will sell to approved active homes, be it work, agility, obedience or as a walking companion. References available, previous puppies that I have bred are excelling in trial, agility and obedience homes, of course others are much loved active companions.

As the above posts state and I'm sure that you are aware, there really is no better dog than a border collie, they are loyal, obedient and intelligent, however, a word to the uneducated -not ness you ;-) if these dogs are not stimulated enough then they will create their own entertainment and are not for the faint hearted, they are gentically wired to run for 7 miles a day, they have the mental ability and strength to work a flock of sheep, and they can be a bloody nightmare when not trained properly, your furniture, your garden, your life will be in ruins if you don't research this breed. That said, I have 11 and I love them!!!!!

I so second the last paragraph. We had a couple of collies in succession to work the sheep here (ISDS reg) and they are fantastic but only for homes active enough both physically and mentally, it's not fair to either you or the dog otherwise. We wouldn't now have another as don't have enough for it to do.
