About Our Dogs
              |
Our dogs are from some of the finest bloodlines produced by world class breeder and herdsman, Maurice MacGregor. We breed our dogs for good temperament and the ability to perform any task required of them. All of our dogs are ABCA registered. Harris Farm is a working sheep farm, where we train our dogs and assess their abilities. Our dogs are a part of our family and are well socialized and raised with loving care. We devote a lot of attention to each of our puppies, handling them from the day they are born until they are ready to leave for their new homes. All of our puppies have had vet exams, wormings, shots and are stated on heart worm preventatives before they leave for their new home. |
Our Dogs Lucy, Cassie & Jack
Lucy's taking some time off from parenting to smell the flowers, Cassie jumping a five foot fence and Jack's enjoying the weather and our farm.
Border Collies
The Border Collie is a working dog, developed in Scotland, for herding livestock, particularly sheep. Typically, the Border Collie is extremely energetic and athletic and the breed is frequently cited as the most intelligent of all dog breeds.
While the Border Collie is a wonderful dog, it is not for everyone, and there are a few to things to consider before making a Border Collie a pet member of your family.

We are located on Rowe Mountain in the town of Bradford in the heart of the Kearsarge-Sunapee Region of Central New Hampshire. Harris Farm offers Home grown and homemade beef, turkey, vegetables, fruit, eggs, jams, jellies, canned fruit and vegetables, relishes, salsas, bread& butter pickles, piccalilli, sauces and many other products of the forest and farm.
Border Collie Intelligence
Having a dog as intelligent as a Border Collie, while delightful, can present its own unique challenges. They are very perceptive, constantly thinking and figuring things out – like how to open gates and doorknobs. Commands need to be very specific, as a slight variance will be perceived as a “different” command. Life with a Border Collie can be compared to life with a gifted, but very young child.
