He has over ten years of experience breeding border collie for herding and family companionship and follows recommended health screenings for hips and eyes. Vandeberg regularly participates in local herding trials and shares his expertise at regional breed gatherings.

All dogs are raised in a home environment on his family’s small farm, enjoying daily socialization and exposure to livestock. Puppies begin basic obedience training early and learn to work alongside other animals and children, reflecting Vandeberg’s hands-on approach. Temperament assessments are conducted to place each puppy in a home that matches its energy level and personality. Each litter benefits from individual care and ample outdoor exercise to support both physical health and mental stimulation. Feedback from past families often highlights the breed’s eagerness to learn and enduring loyalty.
