Don't Take Our Word For It!
We were privileged to meet Max in our search for a new border collie for our family after the death of a beloved BC boy in September. After visiting a number of breeders and their litters, Ashbrooke Border Collies stood out due to Max’s commitment to understanding and implementing the latest thinking on early stage socialisation and development of border collies. Our new boy is our fourth border collie and we have been impressed by and value Max’s ‘after sales service’. Max has continued to provide advice and connection which has been appreciated and very useful. We (and Jock, our lovely boy) love to get updates on his litter mates. It feels like a big extended border collie family.
