  • I’m interested in a Thunder Ridge puppy, but not for another two or three years. Can I still get on your waitlist?
    Yes! You're welcome to join the waitlist even if you're planning ahead. Just let us know your timeline and what you're hoping for, and we’ll keep that in mind when reaching out.
  • I’m new to Border Collies (or new to owning a dog). Can I still get a puppy from you?
    Absolutely! You don’t need to be a pro handler or seasoned dog owner to be a great fit. What matters most to us is that you’ve done your research, understand the breed’s needs, and are ready to put in the time, effort, and energy they require. We’re always happy to help guide new owners who are serious about giving one of our puppies a great life.
  • What is a waitlist, and why should I join?
    A waitlist is a way for interested families to reserve a spot in line for a future puppy. It helps us connect with potential homes before the litter is even born, so we’re not breeding “just to see what happens” and then scrambling to find the right families. Instead, we can plan responsibly, get to know each home, and make sure each pup is placed with care. Most of our litters are spoken for in advance, so waiting until puppies are born often means missing out. Being on the waitlist gives you a much better chance of getting a puppy that suits your goals and timing. It also gives us time to learn more about you—and you get time to follow along with the kennel, ask questions, and prepare for your future pup. Even if you're not quite ready for a puppy right now, joining early helps us plan ahead with you in mind.
  • No litters posted/open, but I’m still interested – should I apply?
    Definitely! Even when no upcoming litters are listed, we maintain one central waitlist. Families are added based on when they apply, and we work through that list as spots become available or new pairings are planned. Some people have a specific pairing in mind, while others are open to whatever comes next. Either way, submitting an application ensures you’ll be considered as things progress.
