Alamar is dedicated to the working Border Collie with excellent health, structure, temperament, and herding ability. Our dogs are screened for hip displasia, eye problems, and herding ability. Alamar believes the only true test of herding ability is actual work. We breed for herding ability, not the "hobby-type" activities that sadly dilute the working ability of the American Working Border Collie.The dogs work sheep, goats, or cattle regularly. They compete
regularly in herding trials as well as work in animal assisted therapy. Stud service is considered to approved bitches with proper health testing and working evaluation .
Puppies available occasionally.


Come view our litter!

Banjo is a littermate to Domino.  He has every bit of his Dad’s power, but with a little more finesse.  He has become invaluable around the farm and is as dependable as they come.  He has proven his worth this year with extreme weather conditions when he worked in the driving rain with a broken toe and never quit, to the 105 degree heat without a falter.  He has a heart as big as the state of Texas.  He is also the kindest soul with children and puppies and everyone he meets.  We are really excited about this boy.

Come see upcoming litter!
