CROSSROADS FARMS IS  INSPIRED BY A BORDER COLLIE NAMED JEFF , THE BEST FRIEND A GUY COULD HAVE , WE PARTED WAYS 25 YEARS AGO AND I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER TRY TO REPLACE HIM . WELL , I NEEDED A DOG AND I FOUND  -BUSTER , ALWAYS KEEN AND NEVER QUITS ME .

 WELL , AROUND BRISTOW , OKLAHOMA , PEOPLE WERE ASKING ME FOR COW DOGS TO GATHER GREEN CATLE . SOOOOOO
I TOOK BUSTER TO  AN ORIN BARNES FEMALE -JILL ,AND OF COURSE JESS - A FEMALE HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY HER GRIZ  BREEDING , THESE CROSS' HAVE PROVEN TO PRODUCE GREAT CATTLE DOGS. 
I ALSO AQUIRED FOR 1 BREEDING A GYP THAT IS A JOHN TATE FEMALE X CASEY RINDALS CAP , THIS IS THE NEATEST LITTLE GYP AND I BRED HER TO LUKE - THIS CROSS IS ACTUALLY A LINE BREEDING ON IT'S OWN , HIS TOP SIDE IS TATE , WITH LR'S GRIZ . THE CAP FEMALE HAS GRIZ ON THE  BOTTOM FROM THE TATE LINE AND DOUBLE GRIZ FROM THE CAP SIDE!

I BRED BUSTER TO LUKES MOTHER AGAIN , THIS CROSS HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY TUFF AND NICE DOGS TO RAISE AND TRAIN . 

 RECENTLY I BOUGHT A GYP ,THE MOTHER IS DOUBLE BRED TO GLEN GUTRIDGES HANK AND THEIR MALE IS DOUBLE BRED VIC , CHAMPION BLOOD. BOTH PARENTS WORK COWS WELL , SHE IS STARTING STRONG NOW.

MY "BLU" ALSO HAS A HANK OUT CROSS. , BUSTER OVER A JILL /TURK ,O. BARNES BRED FEMALE  .  I TOOK BLU TO ANOTHER O.BARNES BRED MALE - BLAZE, THEY BOTH ARE MEDIUM SHORT HAIR AND PRICK EARED AND BITE HARD. THE PUPS WILL BE TRIPLE BRED O.BARNES JILL , WITH TURK AND SOUIX , BUSTER AS THE OUT CROSS.

SO I HAVE SOUGHT OUT THE BEST CATTLE BRED BORDER COLLIES I CAN FIND FOR MY STOCK.

 DNA , TESTING FOR CEA AND HIP EXRAYS ( OR FLOUROSCOPING )FOR DOGS 9 MONTHS OLD OR MORE , ARE PROVIDED FOR BUYERS AT THEIR EXPENSE ON PUPS AND DOGS FOR SALE . I CAN SHIP A CD WITH AN EXRAY IN THREE TO FOUR DAYS

NOTE: I HAVE HAD NO COMPLAINTS OF GENETIC PROBLEMS IN MY DOGS AND I PROVIDE A WRITTEN CONDITIONAL REPLACEMENT PUPPY GAURANTEE COVERING , HEALTH AND INSTINCT.

The conditions that I have installed in my puppy gaurantee have to do with with working instinct , hip and eye propblems. The only Bordercollies that I breed will work CATTLE well , I work with any  buyer to get them a dog that suits their purpose .I may require that I pick the pup to make the gaurantee valid. (People have brought their grankids out and picked the "cute " pup or the one that is marked like "their old dog" ect. and I know that is not the dog that will make them a hand , for instance.) A pup may end up being a sheep or goat dog and still work and but I will still help you get a dog that works for you ( probably trade you out for a dog the same age . Raising and training a pup to maturity is also a factor.For instance , if you take a 6 month old out and get it stomped my moma cows and ruin it  or beat it for running horses - don't call me crying . Dogs need proper kennelIing and training for the first 2 years . Hip and eye trouble  needs a vet report for me , then I will replace the dog with the best dog I can up to 2 years , I want to know if something genetic is going on down line. These are the conditional factors roughly speaking .

I SUPPORT BREEDING BORDER COLLIES FOR WHAT THEY ORIGINALLY CREATED FOR-  WORKING STOCK .

*BREED PROVEN WORKING DOGS TO WORKING PROVEN DOGS IF YOU WANT GOOD STOCK DOGS. COLOR , MARKINGS OR PEDIGREE WON'T BRING IN STOCK OR WIN A TRIAL.

TWO DOG TEAMS--- I AM SELECTING FOR AND GETTING READY TO START TRAINING TWO DOG TEAMS. I AM VERY DEPENDANT ON MY GOOD DOGS AND THAT WORRIES ME , IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO MY GOOD DOG, I AM OUT FOR A LONG WHILE. CATTLE GIVE MUCH MORE EASILY TO TWO DOGS ,BREAKING CATTLE TO DOGS IS MUCH EASIER (especially on the dogs) LESS STRESS AND FEWER FIGHTS ,LESS CHANCE OF A GOOD DOG or a profitable calf ,GETTING HURT. DOGS HAVE DIFFERENT STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESS' TWO DOGS CAN MAKE AN OPERATION GO MORE SMOOTHLY . WHEN TRAINED TOGETHER FROM THE START IT WORKS PRETTY GOOD , SAME THING ONLY DIFFERENT. TWICE THE DOG FOOD , 100 TIMES THE POWER.  I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON STEAMLINEING SOME TRAINING TECHNIQUES FOR A WHILE AND GETTING THE RIGHT DOGS . BUY YOUR PAIR NOW , GETTEM RAISED AND READY .

WE ARE STARTING ON A TRAINING VIDEO WE ARE HOPING TO RELEASE BEFORE DECEMBER. IT WILL SHOW WHELPING TRICKS - STARTING PUPS ON OBEDIANCE , STARTING 6-8 MONTH OLDS ON SHEEP -STARTING 1 YEAR OLDS ON CATTLE - STARTING PUPS TO WORK WITH HORSES AND IN TEAMS . WE WILL SHOW DIFFERENT TYPES OF PUPS AT DIFFERENT AGES AS THEY COME ALONG

I AM ALSO WORKING ON A DOG AND HORSE DELIVERY SERVICE , COVERING MOUNTAIN TO MOUNTAIN , CENTER OF THE COUNTRY DELIVERY . TRYING TO KEEP THE COST DOWN AND GET FOLKS DOG MOVED AROUND SAFELY . KEEP CHECKING IN ABOUT THIS
