Derek Robicheaux

Derek Robicheaux, Border collie breeder in Newcastle, WY, operates in Weston County and the Black Hills region near Rapid City. He has been working with Border collies for more than ten years and aligns his program with guidelines from national registries, encouraging health screenings for hips, eyes and cardiac function. All puppies complete initial health exams by a local veterinarian and begin a vaccine schedule before leaving home. Puppies are raised indoors with regular human interaction and supervised outdoor play on his family ranch.

Socialization begins in the first weeks of life to foster confidence and adaptability. His ranch spans rolling pastures and secure paddocks, giving dogs room to run and mature safely. Derek guides new owners through basic obedience and herding foundations, reflecting his belief in balanced and positive training methods. Adult dogs on the property frequently join local herding demonstrations, offering insight into their natural skills and reinforcing their instincts.
