| Bur
Hill Border Collies

Welcome to Bur Hill
Border Collies.
We are a small farmstead located in the Tillsonburg area of
southern Ontario (30 minutes southeast of London). In addition
to homeschooling our 4 children and running a commercial, architectural
and fine art photography business, we also raise purebred Border
Collies. Our niche is in providing pups that make wonderful
family pets for active families. Our pups also do well in recreational
sports and herding.
Katie is
a beautiful black and white rough coated border collie who is
very bright and teachable. Her temperament is a perfect cross
of her mother's liveliness and her father's laid back friendliness.
She is very affectionate and has that soft disposition that
we like so much.
Like all our dogs, she loves children
and enjoys playing their games.
Jess is a handsome
red and white rough coated border collie from Roxy and has
that terrific temperament that is so important to us. She
is very alert and bright and has a lot of style. She is also
very easy going and loves playing with our children. She is
a favourite with our girls and their friends when they play
"obedience school" with each child working with
a dog.
Nellie is a
very sleek and stylish rough coated border collie who has
the great looks and moves of her mom Cindy. Besides being
a real softy who loves affection and being walked by our children,
Nellie is also a quick learner and likes to please.
Shannon
is a very handsome red and white rough coated border collie
out of Roxy and Roy. She has a wonderful easy going, biddable
temperament and has been an incredibly easy dog to train.
Shannon is a favourite of people who come to visit us and
exemplifies the type of dog we produce.
Penny is
a handsome black and white border collie out of Nellie and
Roy. She has a very sweet and gentle disposition and enjoys
playing with our children and their friends, especially
doing agility. She also enjoys playing with our young puppies
and is very patient with all their antics. Penny has undergone
additional training in the Oakville area and had a terrific
time at the Royal Winter Fair, going to restaurants with
her 'service dog in training' jacket on, going to Church,
riding on the bus and meeting people in shopping malls.
We will be doing more therapy dog training with Penny.

Marlo is a
gorgeous offspring from Shannon and Glen. Just one look at
her and you know immediately who her dad is. Marlo is a wonderful
blend of energy and mellowness. She has inherited her mom's
low key disposition, and her dad's intelligence and amiable
good nature. We have enjoyed training her as she enjoys learning
and wants to please. She likes to play with our children and
is quite the snuggle bug.
Skye is a super
friendly black and white border collie from Katie and Glen.
She is so gentle and easy going and is the perfect playmate
for our children. Her eagerness to please and her affability
have earned her the distinction of being one of the most loveable
dogs on our property. She enjoys meeting people and going
to town on shopping errands. She is the epitome of a great
family dog.
Bluebell is
a handsome blue and white border collie out of Katie and Glen.
A blue and white border collie is a black and white who has
the dilute gene. Katie and Glen surprised us by both carrying
the recessive dilute gene. Bluebell has matured into a wonderfully
soft and affectionate dog who loves meeting people and playing
with children.
Jen is a beautiful
black and white border collie out of Nellie and Glen. She
is what we have been hoping to produce from Cindy's line (Nellie
is Cindy's daughter). Jen embodies the classic style and focus
that Cindy and Nellie have, plus she has plenty of Glen's
warmth and amiableness. She is a busy girl who enjoys being
active, yet has an excellent off switch and really likes to
snuggle and be with our children.
Roy is a wonderful
red and white border collie which we imported from Angus county,
Scotland. He comes from a working sheep farm near Forfar and
has sheep herding experience. He also has a great off-switch
and is happy to take it easy.
Roy is a very
handsome boy with a great temperament. He is extremely gentle
and affectionate and loves our children. He is very easy going
and has a relaxed outlook on life. He has the kind of temperament
that will give us the family pet type of pups we have become
known for. It is important for us that we produce border collies
that are easy to live with and make great companions.

Glen is a handsome
black and white border collie we have brought over from England.
He is very smart, has lots of spunk, is very outgoing and
loves children. Although energetic and playful, he also has
an excellent off switch and is very easy going. We are so
pleased how similar in temperament he is to Roy. Glen gets
along wonderfully with everyone including all other dogs and
truly epitomizes a happy dog.
Andy is a gorgeous
red and white, ISDS registered border collie who we imported
from England. He has amazed us with how smart, well-behaved
and teachable he is. He has a wonderful, easy going attitude,
has integrated fantastically with all our dogs, and is a lot
of fun to work with. This dog is truly happy! Nothing spoils
his day.
Robbie is a
gorgeous dark red and white border collie we brought over
from England. He is a super friendly, affectionate dog with
lots of spunk and speed. He has that wonderful traditional
British border collie temperament which we seek after. This
is what makes for a great family pet.
Flynn is a
handsome golden red and white border collie we brought over
from England. We are delighted with his congenial manner and
quickness to learn. He is such a happy boy and is always ready
to play with our children. He has pleased us with his biddable
temperament and bubbly personality.
Our
puppies are vet checked, dewormed, micro-chipped, have first
shots, and are well socialized in a family setting. They are
sold on a spay/neuter contract and are registered with the Canadian
Border Collie Association. Our puppies are 8 weeks old before
we allow them to go to their new homes. This enables them to
become well socialized with ourselves and our four children
before they go to be with their new owners.
Temperament is one of the most important aspects of our dogs.
They adore children, are very loving and gentle, and are wonderful
family pets.
All of our breeding stock has been tested clear for hips and
eyes (CERF). Also, all our dogs are DNA normal for Collie Eye
Anomaly (either by testing or by parentage).
Upcoming
Litters:
Bluebell
and Flynn are
expecting a litter, due May 31, 2012. The pups will likely be
black and white, but there is the possibility of blue and white. They
might surprise us with blondes, but we don't consider this likely
as it is highly improbable that Bluebell carries red. We
are taking reservations for this litter.
Jen
and Robbie are
expecting a litter, due June 15, 2012. The pups will most likely
be all black and white or black and white tri-colour. We
are taking reservations for this litter.
Please
note: our
preferred method of initial contact is by email. We are careful
where we place our pups. We are also very busy with our dogs
and we do receive a lot of email. So please be patient for a
reply.
We ask that if you are interested
in our pups, please tell us where you live, your age, some details
about yourself and your living and work situation, how physically
active you are, previous experience with dogs and how much time
the pup will be left alone during the week. Also, please include
your phone number. One line emails
will not receive a reply! If
you do not have the time to tell us about yourself, then a border
collie is not the breed for you!
To be considered as prospective owners
of our pups, you will need to fill in our Adoption
Questionnaire.
