For more than three decades, I've remained committed to responsible breeding practices that prioritize health, temperament, and lifelong breeder support.
Every breeding dog in my program undergoes Embark DNA Health Testing, allowing me to make informed breeding decisions and help produce healthy puppies with the strongest possible genetic foundation.
My puppies are raised in a hands-on environment where they receive daily love, attention, and early socialization. From the very beginning, they're exposed to normal household activities, people, and everyday experiences that help build confidence before they leave for their forever homes.
Located in beautiful Temecula, California, my dogs enjoy an active lifestyle with plenty of room to run, play, and simply be dogs. They are treasured members of my family first and foremost.
When you welcome one of my puppies into your home, you're gaining more than a dog you become part of the West Coast Border Collies family. I'm always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and support you throughout your dog's lifetime.
Healthy puppies begin with healthy parents. That's why I place a strong emphasis on proper nutrition, preventative healthcare, responsible breeding practices, and raising puppies in a clean, loving environment from day one.
My goal is to give every puppy the healthiest possible start so they can enjoy a long, active, and happy life with their new family.
At West Coast Border Collies, breeding dogs has always been about much more than producing puppies. It is about preserving the incredible qualities that make these breeds so special while providing families with healthy, confident companions they will love for years to come.
My name is Joni Gibson, and dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a lifelong rancher, I've spent decades working alongside Border Collies every day. They've helped move cattle, accompanied me to rodeos, participated in agility activities, and become trusted partners in every aspect of ranch life.
Their intelligence, loyalty, athleticism, and willingness to work are unlike any other breed I've owned. Whether they're helping on the ranch or relaxing with the family after a long day, Border Collies truly excel in every environment.
My breeding journey began in 1988 with two outstanding Border Collies. After raising my very first litter, word quickly spread. Families were impressed by the temperament, intelligence, and quality of my dogs, and referrals from happy puppy owners helped my breeding program grow naturally over the years. Today, I'm honored that so many new families continue to find me through recommendations from previous puppy owners.
In addition to Border Collies, I also proudly raise Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Their affectionate personalities, gentle nature, and devotion to their families make them wonderful companions for homes looking for a loving lap dog with an easygoing temperament.
Whether you're searching for an active working partner, a dog sports companion, or a devoted family member, my goal is to help you find the puppy that's the perfect fit for your lifestyle.
