Rivermaid Border Collies, established in 1994, is a premier breeding facility located in the picturesque Monkerai Valley, just 2 ½ hours north of Sydney, nestled in the foothills of the Barrington Tops. With over 30 years of dedicated experience and five generations of carefully curated bloodlines, Rivermaid has earned a stellar reputation for producing Border Collies that exemplify exceptional temperament, loyalty, and intelligence. Specializing in Reds, Blues, and Blacks, our focus is on breeding dogs that not only meet the breed standard but also thrive in family environments.
At Rivermaid, we prioritize the health and well-being of our dogs through rigorous breeding management practices, including DNA testing and Hip and Elbow scoring. Our commitment to sound body and mind ensures that each puppy is well-prepared for a loving home. We take pride in our ability to match puppies with families by screening potential owners to ensure their lifestyles, hobbies, and living conditions are suitable for the energetic and intelligent nature of Border Collies. This careful matching process helps foster a harmonious relationship between the dog and its new family.
Border Collies are renowned for their remarkable intelligence and high energy levels, making them one of the most sought-after breeds for active families. However, they require ample mental and physical stimulation, as well as confident leadership from their owners, to thrive. At Rivermaid Border Collies, we are passionate about educating prospective owners on the unique needs of this breed, ensuring that each dog is set up for success in their forever home. We invite you to join our community of Border Collie enthusiasts and experience the joy these incredible dogs bring to life.
