Update: I forgot to put in here that the litter will be black & whites and tri colored slick haired pups
Upcoming litter of puppies expected the 2nd week in July. Both parents are health tested. Sadie is a carrier for CEA but clear otherwise and Stan is clear of all. Stans hips rated OFA good.
Sadie is a smooth coated female with a high working drive but the ability to shut it off and become a family dog as well. Sadie has been an absolute asset to the ranching life. She has the finesse to work sheep and the bite to work the cows. She is strong and confident when working and is always thinking two steps ahead. Sadie works with style and has tons of natural feel to her. Sadie goes back to Oaktree Levi from the MISR kennel. Levi has been a very successful dog winning the 2018 MSSA Open dog of the year, MSSA Open Cattle and Sheep Championships in 2020 and many more.
Stan is a one of a kind working dog. Stan is has successfully been trialed and is still being trailed. Stan is the 2017 NCA Mountain Regional Finals Champion, 2017 MSSA Nursery Dog of the Year, and the 2017 Unitah Basin Classic Open Reserve Champion. Stan goes back to SK sugar who has also been successful for the MISR kennel.
This litter was designed to compliment both dogs to provide an outstanding litter of working dogs. Videos can be found of Stan on the MISR website or the MISR page. Videos of Sadie can be found on my kennel page or will have some posted in the comments. If you would like more videos of Sadie working please just pm me and I would be happy to send more to you. If you have any questions please feel free the pm me.
Located in Nampa Idaho

I haven’t posted on this page for a while with life being busy so sorry for that! Fingers crossed I am expecting a litter from Sadie the beginning of July. After looking at many stud dogs I decided to cross her to Stan out of the MISR kennel. Should be an amazing cross and am really excited to see how this batch turns out. I will put the link below to the MISR kennel incase you would like to check out Stan. If are interested or have more questions about the up coming litter please feel free to reach out to me. Will be putting out more information once the litter is confirmed.

Good night working dogs with Matt White
Been working on driving with Sadie and thought I would share a bit of what I’m doing. This follow the fence activity I am working allows me to watch my stock and keep my dog in a position to move them down the fence. Hard to video while working the dog
10/07/2020
Excited to see how River turns out. She is started on sheep and looking great.
03/03/2020
Puppies will be 6 months old at the end of April and that is the perfect age to start them on sheep.
I will be home for the summer at the beginning of May and I cannot wait to get River started. I will hopefully be spending a lot of time this summer with Sadie going to different Dog Trials across the state.
In the mean time, River and Sadie are spending a lot of time with Grandma and Grandpa either in the Treasure Valley or up in Cambridge.
As always, Run for the Border Kennel thanks you for following along on our journey and we cannot wait to see what the future holds!

Our story
Since I was a kid, I fell in love with the Border Collie breed after working on a big cattle operation in Council, Idaho. After seeing the amazing things these dogs could do, I developed a passion for working this breed of dog within the ranching life. I wanted to be able to raise dogs with quality bloodlines so I could eventually grow my operation. In April of 2015, we welcomed JNP Sadie to the family. Sadie is one of the most loyal, hard working, and obedient dogs I have had the pleasure of owning. I recently had the amazing opportunity to breed Sadie to Broken Circle Border Collies sire, Ox. In October of 2019, Sadie gave birth to a litter of six (6) puppies. Not only did she give life to these awesome pups, but she also gave life to ‘Run for the Border Kennel’. I am very excited to see these bloodlines flourish, and can’t wait for all of you guys to be on this journey with me.
