Border Collie Breeder

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!

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.

I think color specific breeders are weird... especially when it's ONE color only. But the dogs do have nice type! 
This puppy is effin adorable. http://www.cedarbordercollies.com/images/copper_web.jpg
If you could, meet the dogs and the breeder and decide for yourself! Susan Garrett is amazing. I definitely trust her judgement.

Didn't she write Shaping Success because of Buzz? He sounds like a very high drive dog. His lineage looks to be 100% working dogs which might be why! He definitely isn't much to look at though. That book reminded me of Gonzo a lot.
My favorite sport/colorful BC breeder is Contact Point. Prepare to spend $2000 on a puppy, but it's going to be a NICE puppy with a NICE personality!

^ pretty much what Allie, Laur, and others have said They seem to breed for color and temperament. Not a breeder I would recommend, purely because you can get very stellar temperaments out of sport or working bred dogs, and at least those breeders are breeding for something a little more than looks.
I do not see the draw to this breeder (color based, I guess?), however the dogs do look well health tested and cared for, which is nice.
