Here at Asset Kennels our goal is to produce top quality Border Collies suitable for family homes. Temperament, Health and Trainability, the  three attributes that are our top focus. Our puppies will excel in your pet family home. 

We are proud to have owned and bred Border Collies are multi titled. This means they have earned titles in different disciplines, such as Good Temperament (CGN or CGC) Rally Obedience (RN, RA RAE) Obedience (PCD), Conformation Champion (CAN CH, AM CH) Grand Conformation Champion (GCH), Best Baby Puppy In Show (BBPIS) , Best Veteran In Show (BVIS).

The Border Collie is considered a medium size breed with high activity level. They are extremely smart so like to learn new things. They excel at Obedience, Rally Obedience, Agility, Scent Detection, Trick Dog, Flyball just to name a few. Like other herding/active breeds they do require a couple of walks a day but just as important is they need to spend time with you. They are very a loyal breed who are often reserved with strangers but will do anything for their owners. Be prepared to be challenged and outsmarted by your Border Collie!

MEET OUR DOGS!

Here at Asset Kennels we are proud to have bred and placed beautiful smart puppies with families throughout Canada. Our breeding program focuses on keeping the Border Collie within the breed standards and will be a wonderful member of your family. . We carefully consider which two dogs will be bred together so they compliment each other.

Breeders have the ability to guide their breeding programs to produce the “type” they desire. Sport breeders concentrate on speed and agility, this often produces puppies with extremely high drive and little “off switch.  Show breeders concentrate on looks and winning in the ring, this often produces Border Collies with a heavy undercoat that requires weekly bathing/drying and daily brushing.
