Steadfast Working Border Collies

While Finch gears up for trial season, we’re also laying the groundwork with the young ones!
Sparrow is still early in her herding journey, learning balance, confidence, and feel on stock. These are early days, but she shows plenty of try and a solid foundation is already forming. We’re looking forward to seeing her progress as her training develops!
2026 is in full swing, and trial season is coming fast! That means time in the practice pen sharpening our outruns and fetches, which are a crucial start to a solid trial run.
After taking most of the fall and winter off, we’re a bit rusty, but Finch reminds me every time why I trust him. He steps right back in, honest and willing, like he never left.

We are now offering Finch up for stud to select females only.

Finch is an all around, easy going, biddable dog who takes to everything we’ve tried.
He is eager to please, high toy drive, medium food drive, with high work drive and great work ethic. He loves everything and everybody, great with strangers (adults and kids alike), good friendly with other dogs, and polite with our cats as well.
He is easy to live with, a Velcro dog for sure, and loves his people. Finch has a wonderful off switch and can easily go from working livestock to relaxing in our home. Environmentally, nothing phases him. He is easy to bring anywhere and always eager to tag along, out in public, on road trips, staying in hotels, attending baseball games, going camping, he takes it all in stride.
On stock, he has trained on sheep and cattle, and does well with both. We are currently trialing him on cattle.
Finch is registered through the ABCA. Genetic testing through OS, carries 1 copy of CEA, otherwise clear. Pennhip score 0.42, OFA hips Excellent. Weighed about 47lbs at his last vet visit.
All females must be health tested and have passing hips. We also require videos of female working. Please pm for more information. I will post clips of him working in the comments.
Day 2!
Going from Saturday to Sunday, our biggest goal was to improve in some way, shape, or form! Whether that be making it one obstacle further, or even just having better timing in terms of placement of dog/handler/livestock, and we definitely improved on all of it! There are for sure some things that we’ll be working on in practice the next couple weeks, but overall we had a really great run! Day 2 brought us double the points at 180 in the 7 minutes, with only 1 obstacle left! (We were so close!)
Overall, I’m thoroughly impressed with how Finch handled everything that was thrown at him, and held his ground with the cattle. We can’t wait to see what the next trials have in store!
NCTA Fall Trial Day 1…Finch’s FIRST ever trial!
Day 1 was full of new learning experiences, and I was very impressed with Finch’s performance! We scored 90 points in the 7-minute time allotment, which was great! Finch has never gotten the opportunity to work in an environment like this, but he handled it like a champ. Stay tuned for day 2!
