Abby is the daughter of our beloved elder statesman and the icon of Mastmariner Border Collies, Hercules (Mastamariner First Officer) and our lovely, gentle Esther (Mastamariner Corvette) and a grand daughter of Cider (Caristan Cider of Mastamariner). We expect this litter to produce puppies of equally kind and gentle character to that of their parents, grandparents and Great grandparents.

Abby is a beautiful and classic border collie, clever but very willing and full of fun, like her mother Esther (Mastamariner Corvette) Abby never gets bored of being the centre of attention and revels in her role as hostess to the residental guest at our Hampshire based dog training organisation, Training 4 Dogs taking new arrivals and return guest under her wing and quickly putting them at ease.

We are endebted to Mrs Lucy Root who generously allowed us to "borrow" Barney when Abby's intended stud was indisposed. Barney proved to be a not just a kind and charming companion, a delightful house guest, a sociable and accomodating gentleman but also a first class stud dog and excellent sire. Barney epitomises the qualities that we look for in our breeding programme, temperament, temperament and temperament as well as sociablity, kindness, health, outstanding character and of course wonderful classic good looks.

We are very proud to have bred dogs such as Barney and hope to see more of this gorgeous young gentleman in the future.

We are not commercial breeders, we care very deeply about the homes in which our puppies will live. Before enquiring about puppies please read the conditions on the Puppy Homing Conditions Page of our web site very carefully, we are very choosy about the homes in which our puppies will live.


We only allow our puppies to go to loving, permanent homes with daytime company and lots of fun and affection. We only consider homes where children are older (at least 12 years or above) so that there will be time to be dedicated to the care and nurturing of a new family member and where a puppy will valued as an individual. We favour homes that have previous experience of dog ownership and who understand the time and commitment needed to fulfill the expectations and needs of a young dog.
Please note that;

  • insured prior to leaving for their new homes

Enquiries are welcome from loving, permanent homes with daytime company and lots of fun and affection. We particularly favour homes where any children are older and from those prospective owners who own, or have previously owned, dogs.

Please note that we do not sell puppies as potential show, working or breeding "stock" and all our puppies are registered with breeding and export restrictions to protect them, we do not make exceptions to this rule, puppies are never available to homes where there is no human company for them during the day.


These puppies will be raised in our home in a, stimulating, loving, clean, safe environment, they will be Kennel Club Registered, microchipped, eye tested, health checked, thoroughly wormed, insured, inoculated with a minimum of their first jab, socialised with dogs, adults and children and very well cuddled!
