Marsha Hickman

Marsha Hickman breeds border collies in Washington, United States, serving the Pacific Northwest near Seattle. With more than a decade of experience, she participates in national kennel club programs and follows recommended health screening for hips, elbows, and eyes. Her adult dogs enjoy daily turnout on grassy fields adjacent to the family home and regular supervised play in a secure yard. From early weeks, puppies are given gentle handling and enrichment activities that foster adaptability and confidence.

Hickman draws on the breed’s agility and herding roots with positive training games that strengthen the bond between dog and handler. Litters are born and raised in a quiet space in her farmhouse, where each puppy meets household sounds and new visitors at a slow pace. Many owners remark on the puppies’ calm curiosity and ease in family settings. She offers guidance on socialization milestones, exercise routines, and balanced nutrition to support healthy growth.
