Brandon/Jackie Nelson

Brandon/Jackie Nelson are Border collie breeders in Minden, Iowa, Pottawattamie County near Omaha. They have been raising Border collies for more than a decade and participate in the American Kennel Club’s recommended health screening for hips, eyes, and cardiac function. Puppies are socialized from four weeks in the heart of their family home, enjoying supervised playtime with children and other pets. Each dog spends ample time outdoors in a large, securely fenced yard and daily walks to develop confidence and basic obedience skills.

Their lines trace back to working herding stock in the Midwest, highlighting strong instincts and athleticism. Several pups have placed in local obedience and agility matches, a modest reflection of their drive to learn. Each puppy leaves with detailed health records, a guide to continued socialization, and ongoing breeder support for training questions. They maintain close relationships with local veterinarians to ensure each dog’s preventive care stays up to date.
