Located in South West Victoria, FP Collies was born in 2011.
My name is Bruce, and when I relocated from Melbourne to a working farm, I acquired three beautiful working border collie puppies that would grow up to manage the stock on the farm, and Milo, Miley and Misty joined us. My breeding females are mostly descended from these original dogs and there are great granddaughters still on the farm today.
Miley was not only my best friend, but an exceptional working dog. You could point to a specific cow in a group of cows and give her the command "bring back" and she would isolate and bring the cow to you, or through the gate. Miley loved to work. She had several litters of puppies and was a great mother, but once the puppy rearing was done, she was keen to get back to work. She spent many hours on the front of the quad bike or in the tractor with me. She was my "girl", faithful, loyal and loving, a once in a lifetime dog ... although her daughter, "M" is now filling her big shoes very capably! It was Miley, who inspired me to breed border collies, wanting to share the love of this amazing breed with others. border collie puppies
