Working Border Collies
"Working Border Collies for Reliable Ranch or Trial Use" -- that's the Hill Shepherd Farm and Kennel motto, and it is the standard to which we expect our stockdogs to perform. We maintain a small kennel to help us in our daily farm chores and enjoy competing, judging and giving lessons amongst other stockmen and trainers.
