THIS WEBSITE IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF CHRISTIAN, ONE OF MY ALL TIME BEST FARM DOGS!

 CHRISTIAN

May 1, 1994 to April 4, 2007

When I was a young dog

I found my place

In a Farm in Virginia

I was Mom's Saving Grace.

We worked together

On goats and sheep

I learned control

I had the Border Collie Creep.

None were too tough

Nothing got by me

Not even the goats

I made them see

It was useless to balk

I'd stand my ground

The stock showed respect

When I was around

Not all my days

Were spent working hard

For fun I wore a deep path

In the yard.

Some thought me obsessive

I'd hear them talk

but soon I was famous

For the Christian walk.

I liked the birds, too

Almost as well

And in the barnyard

Was the ducky treadmill.

I was at my mom' s side

Day and night

And rarely did I let her

Out of my site.

We were the best of friends

I'd never let her down

I'd always go with her

And ride into town.

To do errands, get lunch

And stop at Southern States

Never leaving her side

We were truly soul mates.

I'll forever be loved

And remember my life

As filled with joy

Never any strife.

Mom, I know you will miss me

But today you were brave

I'll forever be grateful

For the peace that you gave.

Some day a new pup

By the look in her face

Will tell you it's time

To share my special place.

By my Dear friend, Anne Devine

Thank you, Dear Christian for being my working partner, and loving companion all these years! Christian, You're missed daily, however never forgotten! Karen

I believe wholeheartedly in preserving the abilities of the border collie to work and have a desire to please, therefore I strive to breed individuals with proven working bloodlines, who themselves have the qualities, that make the border collie unique within the realm of the dog world! Such dedication in working and breeding border collies makes it a pleasure to stand behind the individuals, that I breed and sell at TBC Border Collie Farm! Not everyone is blessed to have a farm or ranch, however that does not diminish the fact, that those people, who don't have a farm or ranch, nonetheless admire the border collie!  Therefore, I strive to help them find the pup or dog, who'll be most suited to their particular lifestyle!  Albeit, companion and\or working dog!  Likewise, I'm dedicated to preserving the working ability of the livestock guardian dog! My farm is fully protected by my registered anatolian shepherd dogs!

                   
 If  you see someone without a smile today give them one of yours! Live
simply. Love seriously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the
rest to God.
