SIOUX CITY RANCH is a PROVEN producer of versatile Border Collies that can do it all. I believe without a good temperament nothing else matters. No matter what you choose to do with your dog if the temperament is bad you will never have a great dog. I believe raising puppies in a family environment and around as many "normal" family situations as possible will benefit the puppy in the long run. I believe it is the job of a breeder to socialize, desensitize,give the puppies the best start in life and do all a breeder can to insure the best start possible. My puppies are born in my home, raised around the family, taken on car rides, crate training is started, puppies are groomed and nails clipped and more. I make sure puppies have a great start from day one with children as well as other animals. It is my goal to produce puppies that are great family pets as well as performance prospects for the novice or the professional dog trainer.
