Kathie/Richard Ziegler

Kathie/Richard Ziegler is a border collie breeder in Hastings, MI, Barry County and West Michigan near Grand Rapids. It participates in regional club programs and follows health screening recommendations for working dogs, including hip and eye evaluations.

Puppies are raised indoors and on the family farm, where early exposure to children, cats and horses happens under attentive oversight. Each litter enjoys daily outings on nearby trails to foster confidence and herding instincts, along with supervised playgroups to build social skills. Ziegler provides balanced nutrition plans and keeps detailed care logs for every puppy’s first year.

With experience handling both performance and companion dogs, it shares insights on training foundations and temperament assessment. All breeding dogs complete cardiac and genetic tests in line with club standards, ensuring each puppy’s sound start. Its barn offers ample space for play and rest while a small pond encourages gentle water introductions.
