Border Collie buying questions

How much do Border Collie puppies cost in the UK?+

Border Collie puppies typically sell for £500–£1,500 in the UK. Prices vary with health testing, Kennel Club registration, pedigree lines and the breeder's location. Always ask what is included — vaccinations, microchipping, worming and a vet check should be standard.

What should I ask a Border Collie breeder before buying?+

Ask to see the puppy with its mother, request health test certificates for the parents, confirm microchipping and first vaccinations, and check the breeder is licensed if they breed regularly. Never buy a puppy you have not seen in person, and never pay a deposit before visiting.

Is a Border Collie a good family pet?+

Border Collies can make excellent family pets when they are well socialised and matched to your lifestyle. Consider your available space, daily exercise time and how much grooming you can commit to before choosing the breed.
