Welcome to the Border Collie Barn! 

My name is Misti, and  I love dogs. Especially herding breeds, and more specifically, Border Collies. I have been a horse trainer for 35 years, dog owner for 45 years, and started my herding dog journey in 2019.  I was recently preparing to drive to Virginia for the USBCHA National Finals to compete.  My trip was to be over 3 weeks and for the first time I found myself needing boarding for 3 dogs. Not only were most facilities full months before my trip, some said they weren't  taking any more clients, period. On my drive out to VA, it got me thinking about my beautiful farm, and how much my client dogs love staying here. It was then I decided to open our doors to not only my clients, but our neighbors and beyond. There are several amazing facilities near us, but demand is high and a busy kennel isn't always the best environment for some dogs, especially herding breeds. That's why we offer a one on one experience for your 4 legged family members. We take all breeds, and specialize in the unique characteristics that make up working dogs. By keeping numbers low, we are able to give your dog a home away from home experience. Reach out to learn how we can enrich your dog's life with herding, swimming, hiking, and romping around our farm, either for the day, or overnight.
