What people are saying about BGC...
Kernel (Orion)
Nikki at Brooks Grove Canines was very responsive and friendly. From the moment you reached her beautiful home you could tell that she has a deep love and respect for the border collie breed. Nikki was quick to communicate and it was a pleasure meeting her and her family. Kernel is an absolute angel and has been since the day I brought him home. His Veterinarian said Kernel is a very happy and healthy boy and I could not be any happier with my decision to reach out to Brooks Grove Canines. Nikki thank you so much for introducing me to my best friend, Kernel!

Kyle
(Leo)
We adopted Kyle about 9 months ago. He is a vibrant and affectionate companion who thoroughly enjoys exploring the town and just loves playing fetch with his boundless energy. Adopting him from Brooks Grove Canines was an exceptional experience, highlighted by the meticulous care they invest in their dogs and the thoughtful transition bag they provided. It was truly heartening to witness the level of attention and well-being of their dogs firsthand when we picked up Kyle. We would recommend this family whole heartedly!!

Belle
(Saturn)
We have had Border Collies and Aussies before, and know the breed and what it takes to have a high energy dog. Nikki at Brooks Grove Canines screened us very well, and I was impressed that she was as interested in us as we were in the dog. She has a first class operation and everything on the adoption went like clockwork. Belle has been a wonderful well tempered dog and very affectionate. She has fit with in well with our Aussie "Piper" and our BC/Aussie mix "Skye". Our vet was impressed with her health and condition. Nikki is fantastic with communication and coordinating the adoption. We highly recommend Brooks Grove Canines.

Emori
(Eclipse)
We are forever grateful and beyond excited to have met Nikki at Brooks Grove Canines! As soon as we found her pup-pics, we fell in love with our Emori and knew she was the border collie pup to join our family. From the first point of contact, Nikki went above and beyond to keep us updated. She sent pro-style pics and videos from day one. We also eagerly checked her Facebook page daily to see new posts as they grew and developed during these precious early puppy stages.
Pick-up day was perfect and we were super appreciative of her thoughtful care package with send-off pup necessities. Nikki's family and home is state-of-the-art for raising and caring for healthy, well-loved pups. The entire experience still has us in awe!Our Emori is an adorable genius and so easy to train. She has an affectionate, sweet demeanor and is always up for hugs, hikes and whatever our family has on the agenda. From the day we picked her up, she has enjoyed tagging along for any of our road trip journeys. She joined our family of five, with twin 9 year olds and a Gma. She adores all of us and is blatantly eager to please. She also came home to our two 13 year old border collie "sisters" and a 10 year old chihuahua "brother". She keeps them on their toes with high energy and is readily adapting to our home rules that include respecting her elders (:
It is obvious that Nikki loves what she does! She is such a joy and we have stayed in touch with pics and messaging ever since. If you are ready for the BEST pup experience on Earth, Nikki and BGC is the place to go!
We appreciate you and everything you do Nikki!!! Keep up the stellar work (:
We sure do love our Emori!

Nikki was absolutely wonderful to work with. My puppy already had a great foundation when we got her at 8 weeks. She's healthy and vibrant and ever ready. I cant recommend them enough! Know that you're going to get exactly what it looks like you'll get. There's no games or nonsense.. just great puppies from great people!

Tuck
(Steven)
I would highly recommend Brooks Grove Canines LLC. Nikki was an absolute pleasure to work with. She reached out immediately after I submitted my application, which was awesome because we were anxious to move forward with our puppy process. She was patient and very accommodating with all our questions. When we visited the puppies they were very clean. We could tell they were well taken care of inside her beautiful home. After purchasing Tuck and taking him home, it was evident that he had a good foundation of basic training which has made potty training a breeze so far. We are so grateful for all the time and love that has gone into helping our little Tuck become a loving sweet mannered pup. I would not buy a puppy from anyone else. Such a wonderful experience!

Sammie
(Sapphire)
Nikki responded very quickly to my questions and the process working through Good Dog was easy and convenient. What you don't see on Good Dog is the caring environment Nikki and her family have in raising the puppies. They welcomed us into thier home to meet Sammie. Keeping the pup in an environment she new very well and it was obvious the puppies were a part of the family with thier multiple crates right there in the great room. As for Sammie, she is a gem. Everything a border collie should be, she is our 5th one! She is doing great with our other border collie and cat. Loves her chew toy (included in her to-go bag) along with other treats she was familiar with. Nikki made sure to send with us the items to make the transition to our home easy on the pup. Overall an excellent experience with an honest family working on staying true to the breed and being responsible breeders. I can't wait to see whether Sammie is driven to play frizibee, soccer or ? I highly recommend Brooks Grove Canines.
