Puppies

Prospective Puppy Owner's Questionnaire

Thank you for showing your interest in Jessomine Border Collies. If you would like to own a Jessomine puppy please complete this questionnaire. It is intended to assist in correctly matching the puppy to the proper household.  Each time we breed it is for ourselves or for our fellow exhibitors. Therefore there are never large numbers of puppies available. We breed selectively with concern for the breed and our future puppy owners. Our puppies are sold with a written contract and guarantee. Overseas Buyers must agree to co-ownership. Puppies are raised in our home and as part of our family, and as such, will not be easily parted with. Please fill in the following questions if you wish to be considered for a Jessomine puppy.
