Breeders/Locations in the Raleigh-Durham area/state to buy Border Collie Puppy?

Yeah, the shelters a full of only one type of dog now sadly and unless you are in the market for a fighting dog then it's a pointless endeavor. Keeping working class dogs that make great pets around by paying reputable breeders is perfectly fine. Adopting at the pound now only helps out dog fighters (NC is almost always #1), the shelter's "boomerang dog payment scam" along with the plethora of unlicensed and unregistered backyard breeders whom end up soaking up taxpayer money to house their puppy mill abominations.

I currently work with two people and am friends with two others whom were all victims of dog attacks by fighting dogs allowed to roam around unleashed inside city limits. In all 4 cases the owner took zero responsibility and none of them had the money to cover the surgeries that ranged from $50,000-$150,000 just so the victims could have mobility in their limbs and look as close to normal as possible. I don't care what apologists have to say, it's a major problem in this state and in this country right now.

So no op, don't feel the least be bad about paying for a good breed of dog that is safe for your family and the rest of the community.
