The Dog Pond Border Collies
Our Past Litters
Taro × Gabby Litter
DOB: June 07, 2026
Another litter batch from Taro & Gabby!
Duncan (Male)
Holbrook
Avondale
Globe
The Parents: Taro & Gabby
Taro is the most intelligent dog I have ever owned, which is both a joy and a challenge to raise him right! He is my heart dog, affectionate and loving, but tough as nails. He is from lines of cow herding dogs that are bred for work, his beauty is coincidental and his lines are known for “hard” merles. He has a strong eye and an aggressive approach (when needed) with stock. Taro effortlessly earned his advanced AKC herding trial in less than 2 seasons and is 1 point away from his championship title. Has received his AKC Star title and his AKC CGC title within the year. He has a nice off switch and can be a calm family dog. Great with people, Taro is a love bug and truly one of my favorite dogs ever. OFA hip score= Excellent elbows, heart and patellar luxation normal. Health tested clear by DNA.
Advanced Herding Title
Gabby is a super-sweet love bug with the look of a miniature show Border Collie, though she comes from working and sporting lines. At just 29 pounds, she is small but solid, stocky, agile, and fast. She has a softer, more demure nature and is naturally biddable, responsive to people, and eager to please—she truly cherishes being called a good girl. Along with her athleticism and sensitivity, Gabby also shows good herding instinct, giving her a lovely balance of willingness, work ethic, and natural ability.
Cattail × Angus Litter
DOB: January 14, 2026
This litter was from Cattail with an outside stud named Angus
Patagonia (Female)
Mesa (Female)
El Mirage (Female)
Douglas (Male)
Clifton (Male)
Ask Fork (Female)
The Parents: Cattail & Angus
Cattail is a spirited dog who loves herding and agility, she has titled in her Jumpers courses. She also loves to nap and I would definitely say she has an off switch! She is an atypical Blue Merle, so she looks like a blue slate but DNA says that she is a merle. She has medium fur, and a low shed gene! Heath tested and not affected by any known genetic disorders, OFA hips good, elbows, heart and patellar luxation normal.
Jumpers Title
Angus, imported from Scotland to a loving family here in the US is an amazing love bug. He excels at anything physical, is a herding champion and is on his way to agility titles! He can go if you need him to but makes a great low key companion when he is not working. We are so grateful to have him breed to Cattail. He is an exceptional, well bred stud!
