Melvin Hershberger

Melvin Hershberger, Border collie breeder in Andover, Ohio, has been raising dogs in Northeast Ohio near Cleveland. He brings more than 20 years of hands-on experience, follows recommended health screenings for the breed and works closely with a local veterinarian for routine checkups.

Puppies grow up inside his home alongside family life, enjoy daily social outings and supervised playtime before moving to secure, fenced pastures for developing their herding instincts. Some graduates have gone on to compete in local agility and herding trials, serve as demonstration dogs at community events or join families as active companions. His balanced approach ensures each dog is healthy, confident and ready for its next role, whether that is a performance partner or a family pet.

He connects with local herding communities through occasional clinics, workshops and informal gatherings to share knowledge. One past buyer mentioned the calm temperament, quick learning and strong work ethic of their new puppy. Ongoing guidance is available to ensure a smooth transition for both dog and family.
