Barnes Border Collies

Barnes Border Collies raises border collies in Braxton, MS, serving Simpson County and the Jackson area. Bill Barnes has bred border collies for more than a decade, holds American Kennel Club membership, and ensures annual health screening for hips and eyes.

Dogs live in a family setting with indoor access and regular field exercises. Puppies receive early socialization and basic training before joining their new homes. Several of their dogs have competed in agility trials, and recent client feedback highlights the calm temperament and intelligent nature of their puppies.

The kennel is set on a small family farm surrounded by open pastures. The breeding program emphasizes temperament, genetic diversity, and lifelong well-being, guided by regular veterinary consultations. Puppies go to homes that suit each family’s activity level and environment. Barnes also supports local herding events and welcomes visitors to see dogs in action.
