About the sire
From the moment I laid my eyes on McDuff at the 2016 Border Collie Society of America's National event, I knew that I had to meet this dog. I watched him win a placement in the "herding titled champion dogs" class and could not take my eyes off of him! When I finally had the pleasure of meeting his breeder Megan, owner Angel, and McDuff himself, I couldn't have been more pleased! Oh, how I adore this dog! He is everything I love in a dog. He is sweet, affectionate, and yet so playful. He is driven and quick, but pleasant to spend time with in the home. Like Clarity, he puts passion into everything he does, from performance sports to herding. Not only is he a breed champion, but he is also titled in rally, obedience, agility, and is an accomplished herding dog.

About the dam
Clarity is a workaholic. She always puts in 110% no matter what I ask of her, and she learns new things absurdly fast. She has very intense focus and is one of the highest drive border collies I have met, to date. However, she has a fabulous natural off switch and is not sound sensitive. She is also a fairly quiet dog unless she is amped up during play, during which time she can become quite vocal. Clarity is quite well mannered with children and the elderly and is an expert cat-stalker.
She is sensitive to my emotions, but not overly so, and exercises intelligent disobedience to perform her service dog tasks when needed. She has shown an ability to naturally alert to cardiac arrhythmia and panic attacks.

Able is our first bred-by boy, and man are we proud of him. He's a whole lot of fire in a tiny package! Able is a very high drive boy with tons of potential! We have been impressed with this boy's intensity and tug drive since he was just four weeks old! Able is owned and loved by Hailey, right here in Minnesota. He is currently in training for agility and disc dog.
