Our Mission Statement

We are redefining what it means to raise modern Border Collies. Rooted in Zen principles and guided by select breeding lines and the science of early puppy neurodevelopment, we cultivate calm, confident, and balanced puppies from the very beginning. My lifelong passion for connecting with animals on a deeper lever drives everything we do, shaping the way we intentionally raise lower-drive family dogs of the highest quality. We hold ourselves to the highest standards in every step of the process, and our commitment to each puppy extends for the life of that animal. Many of our puppies go on to become therapy and service dogs, a reflection of the temperament we intentionally breed for: calm, highly intelligent, and naturally trainable companions. Team Reeves Ranch is leading the way in Zen-raised Border Collies, setting a new standard for excellence in this remarkable breed.

Why Choosing the Right Breeder Matters

A puppy’s first weeks shape their entire life including their health, confidence, and ability to adjust to their new family. Choosing a breeder isn’t just about finding a puppy; it’s choosing how that puppy was raised. When you support breeders who prioritize health, clean environments, solid temperaments, and intentional early development, you help raise the standard for everyone. When you don’t, even unintentionally, you support practices that shouldn’t continue. This isn’t about being better than anyone else. It’s about encouraging a shift in how we raise our dogs. A Responsible breeder focuses on: • genetic and overall health • safe, clean environments • early structure and socialization • calm, intentional handling • long-term support

These foundations cannot be added later as they start on day one. Your choice creates change. When families support responsible breeding, we move toward a future with fewer dogs in shelters and more dogs raised the right way from the start. Including raising the bar for all other breeders. Every time a family chooses a reputable breeder, they help shape a future where puppies are raised with care, respect, and intention. A better beginning leads to a better life and your choice helps make that possible.

“The energy of a Border Collie is pure and intentional. Their joy is infectious, their focus unwavering, and their intelligence quietly profound. They show us that hard work is not a burden but an honor; that clarity comes from devotion to what truly matters; and that loyalty is expressed through presence, not demand. They give endlessly of their effort, their attention, their hearts and in doing so, they remind us of something simple and essential: we are loved, always.”
