Creekside Farm is a small hobby farm in the beautiful Eastern Townships of Quebec; home to 2 humans, several Border Collies, a small flock of Border Cheviot sheep, a dozen and a half free range laying hens and 3 rescued cats: "Ricky", "Woody" (found, you guessed it, in the woods) and newcomer "Tiger", who was found almost frozen in the middle of the road in the winter of 2009. |

We (very) occasionally have CBCA Registered Border Collie puppies available to qualified working, performance or active companion homes. All puppies are from working, OFA & CERF certified parents. We also DNA test for CEA/CH. Creekside puppies are raw fed and sold on contract with a comprehensive written health guarantee. Our breeding program focuses on temperament, health, working talent and trainability. Our activity focus with our own dogs is sheepdog trialing. We also play in agility with various rescues, herding "dropouts" and dual sport dogs. Scroll down this page to see a competition schedule - where our dogs will be competing at this season. We also believe in cross training and the power of a strong relationship with our dogs, so they live as companions rather than kennel dogs. All our dogs live indoors and enjoy lots of "non working" activity as well, such as hiking, swimming and playing games. Occasionally, puppy reunions, camps and clincs take place at Creekside Farm - often as fundraisers for Border Collie Rescue or for trips to compete in big international events. Enjoy your visit!
