Border Collie Breeder

[JacksonsMom]

Anyone heard of Cedar Border Collies or know anything about them?

All I know is Susan Garrett's Buzz is from them or their lines IIRC.

Not sure if that is an argument for or against though

I remember seeing them on the BC boards and people not liking them but for the usual BC boards reasons.

Thanks!

I was just curious... saw their dogs, thought they were gorgeous and from the website, they seem well tempered and the breeder seems good but sometimes it's so hard to tell just from a website. I can't really tell if these would be considering "sport bred" or what. But like I said in the past, I'm still pretty stupid when it comes to that stuff!

What would that be... like, the fact that they're AKC registered? Or focused on one color (so it seems?) or just too complicated to go into? lol. I know the 'politics' on breed specific boards can get a little crazy.

It says they are AKC AND ABCA REGISTERED.

Sports breeder and focused on a specific color would be the argument.

When I was brand new here on Chaz and discussing breeders, their name was mentioned, and shot down for similar reasons to what Laur mentioned. I got a very defensive email from the breeder, who had found the thread.

That said, not much to say about them. Buzz is indeed from them. I'm not a huge fan of any breeding for colour specifics, but they also test and title their dogs, so iunno.

Would not be my first pick, but also not what I would necessarily consider a bad breeder.

Yeah that's pretty much my thoughts just to clarify.

Gotcha! Ok I was just curious.

Yup I'm with Allie. Not really a breeder I would go to, but people could do way worse too.
