Waitlist & Questionnaire

Our 2025 Puppy Waitlist is now open!

To begin the process, you’ll be required to complete a Puppy Waitlist Questionnaire. This helps us get to know you, your lifestyle, and what kind of home you’re offering one of our precious puppies so we can make the best match possible.

Please note: Our placement process is based on suitability, not a first-come, first-served basis. We match each puppy to the most appropriate home based on their individual personality and needs.

Our Breeding Focus

At Salinoback Border Collies, we breed with intention and integrity. Our goals are to produce:

• Calm, confident temperaments

• High intelligence for training, agility, or companionship

• Loving and reliable family dogs

Health & Genetic Testing

You can feel confident your pup has a healthy genetic foundation
