About Eden Border Collies
Eden Border Collies Was Found in 2016, however Johlene has been working with dogs since 1994. She started with a Staffie and later on found her true love for Border Collies when she got Tessa in 1996.
Johlene and Tessa won several Dog Jumping Shows. They also broke the Guinness Word Record for the fastest dog to weave between 60 poles on the 4th December 1999. Johlene noticed that some of the Border Collies she owned had severe health issues. In 2012 Johlene decided it's time to up the breed and health standard of border collies in South Africa. Johlene and Nadine Shortland (Mackland) Imported one of the very first ee-Red Border Collies in South Africa, from Italy ( New Dreams Borders). Most know him as Sunny. Since then Johlene and Nadine worked closely together with Sunny until 2016, After that Johlene started to do her own breeding. From then she met me, Gia, who previously had a passion for the Boerboel breed, but was turned over to Border Collies very quickly! We Registered with Kusa in 2016 and had our very first litter together. The Magic litter. ( Johlene has had litters before this.) Since then we strive for balanced Border Collies. Temperament, health and breed standard conformation is some of our most important aspects when breeding. On 19 July 2021, My beloved Johlene passed away from Covid. I suffered a huge loss and due to the tragedy a lot of our doggies were placed by some good friends. MID 2022 I registered my own Kennel Affix with a few of the Border Collies I've kept. Amd 1 July my first litter was born. A few changes in the breeding program will be implemented. I am taking all the knowledge I've learned from Johlene and I have done extensive research over the last year. I aim to keep her legacy high, respect and try to reach her ultimate goal of the best conformation, good temperamented, working and loving border collie. |
