Puppy Info & Waiting List

Joining the Puppy Waiting List

A waiting list is maintained for individuals or families interested in welcoming a puppy from upcoming Border Collie litters.

Prospective owners are asked to complete a Self-Assessment Form to evaluate their understanding of the breed and their suitability to raise a Border Collie.

Once the completed form is received, responses are reviewed to determine suitability. Approved applicants will receive the Waiting List Pre-Deposit Agreement, which includes full terms and conditions.

About the Pre-Deposit

The agreement provides the option to place a pre-deposit to reserve a puppy from the kennel.

• The pre-deposit is optional, but applicants who choose to provide it will receive priority placement on the waiting list.

• The pre-deposit is non-refundable and will be applied toward the final purchase price of the puppy.

The Puppy Selection Process

When a litter is born, families who placed a pre-deposit will be contacted in order of priority. Photos will be shared, or video calls arranged, to introduce the available puppies. Once a selection is confirmed, an additional deposit will be required to secure the reservation.

When the puppies are three to four weeks old, approved buyers will be invited to visit and meet their reserved puppy in person, following proper hygiene protocols. Puppies remain with their mother until they are eight weeks old, at which time they can join their new families.

Important Notes

Litters are planned carefully based on natural heat cycles; however, factors such as delayed cycles, unsuccessful breeding, or miscarriages may affect timing, availability, and waiting list progression. Additionally, the number and gender of puppies in each litter cannot be guaranteed.

Our Litters

We are delighted to share that to date, we have welcomed two beautiful litters into our home.

Litter A – Born 7th January 2025

Litter A blessed us with five gorgeous puppies in a wonderful variety of colours:

• 2 males – black and white

• 3 females – blue merle tri, black and white tri, and chocolate and white

Litter B – Born 7th January 2026

Litter B arrived exactly one year later and gave us five amazing puppies:

• 4 females – black and white, blue merle, blue merle tri, and a very rare chocolate merle (most likely the first chocolate merle born in Malta)

• 1 male – black and white

Upcoming – Litter C | Summer 2026

We are excited to announce our final availability for deposits for Litter C, expected in Summer 2026. This carefully planned pairing combines outstanding temperament, structure, and bloodlines.

Dam: Hazel

Our very own girl, Hazel is known for her beautiful nature, strong structure, and excellent breed qualities.

Sire: Echo

A striking blue merle imported from Italy, Echo comes from an exceptional bloodline with extensive health testing completed. Additional health results are currently in process, reflecting our commitment to responsible and transparent breeding.

If you are interested in welcoming one of our puppies into your home, we invite you to secure one of the last remaining spots on our waiting list.
