“I just picked up our new border collie puppy, Maple, from Carrilea on Sunday and let me tell you, we are obsessed! Maple is a Lilac Merle with bright blue eyes. My husband had been looking at this website for a few years and determined we would get a puppy from her one day. That day came as a surprise to him and our son! I drove 4 1/2 hours to pick up our girl and when I arrived, she was clean and so well taken care of. You can really tell how much Carrilea loves her dogs, as well as each and every puppy they have. She sends weekly updates, pictures and videos before pick up time. She’s communicated with me on many occasions to give me advice on food for puppy stage and adult, etc. Our vet has nothing but positive things to say about our puppy. Maple came perfectly healthy, up to date on all shots and fecal was clear. Day 1, I began instructing her with spoken English and ASL, and you can fully see her watching each command. Maple is the perfect addition to our family and I fully see another puppy coming from C Bar C Ranch in the future!” – Alyssa N. 11/2024
“We are absolutely in love with our puppy Violet, and she is everything we had hoped she would be. Violet is sweet, smart, cute as can be, and so happy and fun. It’s obvious she was raised by someone who really loves her puppies and takes good care of them. Our vet had only good things to say about Violet, about her amazing personality and how healthy she was. Carrilea was wonderful to work with, sending videos or pictures every week and always being willing to answer all of my questions. We searched through loads of breeders before we chose her, and will definitely be getting another puppy from her in the future.” – Wendy L. – 3/2024
“My experience with Carrilea has been amazing! I fell in love with pink collar girl, now known as Granite the moment her litter was posted. Granite’s overall temperament is very good. She has settled in with us and is slowly breaking out of her shell with her spunky self! Carrilea kept in touch with us weekly, and the entire process was very smooth. I loved our weekly pup updates we got of our little girl. It made us even more excited seeing how she developed every single week! I highly recommend snagging one of Carrilea’s pups!” – Jessica S. – 3/2024
-“We just picked our puppy up today from C-C Ranch Border Collies. I am a veterinary technician and very picky with who I choose as a breeder for my dogs. I have one border collie already and her breeder is not breeding anymore so I searched for another that met my standards. After a lot of research I found Carrilea at C-C Ranch Border Collies! She was phenomenal to work with. Her correspondence was so quick, she answered all my questions, and sent me updated pictures of our puppy every week up until we picked her up. Additionally, you can find the health testing for both the mom and dad on her website (this was important to me and should be to you!). These puppies go to the vet prior to you receiving them, they are dewormed, vaccinated appropriately up to their age, and pose a negative fecal upon pick up. I was impressed with the contract and health guarantee that I read over and signed. Carrilea was very thorough and cares about the health of her dogs and these puppies. She utilized the “good dog” app which was new to me but I loved. It was very secure and I could make my payment for my puppy through the app (I could also add protection onto the payment if I wished). I never worried about the security of my payment with this app, I always received receipts, and I always received an acknowledgement of acceptance from Carrilea almost immediately. Carrilea communicated with me through the app and I could see details about our puppy/her siblings through the app as well. The puppies stay with mom until age appropriate for separation. Pick up was no issue and she supplied me with all my puppies paperwork, microchip number, and some starter food. Our sweet girl was clean, an appropriate weight, and so happy when we picked her up. I was very impressed by Carrilea and I will be recommending her to others and I will use her in the future!” – The Sewards – 10/23
–“Hands down the best breeder we have ever worked with. The kennel was the cleanest facility I have ever seen and the animals were so well taken care of. Our girl Ellie is now 5 and has the best temperament. We have zero hesitation in recommending C-C Ranch.” – Raskey Family – 10/2023
–“Carrilea at C-C Ranch exceeded all our expectations! We are beyond happy with our new puppy Rosie. Carrilea made the entire process phenomenal. She kept us up to date with our puppy’s process via pictures and videos. She was quick to respond to any and all questions . She explained all options for transport and made sure we were comfortable. Our veterinarian stated that Carrilea provided us with a puppy that’s healthy, well-adjusted, and sure to bring us years of happy companionship. Lastly we wanted to find the right breeder and by extension the right puppy just as Carrilea wanted to find the right home for her puppies. I have recommended Carrilea several times since bringing our girl home!” – The Esopa’s – 10/23
–“Hi Carrilea! Just wanted to send a pupdate on Finn (aka Finney or Finn Finn) – Carrie x Chubbs pup. We’ve had him for about eight months, and all I have to say is I’m already itching for another border collie! Finn is both my husband and I’s first bc, and it’s been a wild ride in the best way possible. I don’t know how we got so lucky, but Finn is the MOST affectionate, loving dog. He refuses to start the day until he’s had the requisite amount of cuddles in the morning, he loves to hug people, and he loves meeting new friends – dogs and humans alike. He’s incredibly smart and works hard to please his humans. True to his bc nature, we can already see his strong herding instinct when he plays with his toys. We are unbelievably blessed to have Finn, and none of this would’ve been possible without you! For anyone looking into getting a border collie, Carrilea was amazing from start to finish. She was extremely patient with all my questions, and trust me, there were A LOT given this was my first time looking into border collies. From the time we first picked up Finn, we could tell how much quality care Carrilea puts into all of her puppies, despite having multiple litters at the time Finn was born. Again, I can’t put into words how grateful we are to Carrilea. Here are a few pics of how well our Finney has grown!” – The Lukito family – 03/2022
–“We purchased a female border collie from C bar C Ranch Border Collies and couldn’t be happier with our newest family member. We were referred because Alayna with Sandspur Ranch Border Collies, a top breeder, here in FL wasn’t planning any litters of her red and white dam because of a pending move to another state. Alayna purchased her red and white dam from Carrilea and spoke highly of her and the quality of the dogs. Alayna warned us it might be a bit of a drive to Alabama but considering a breeder was recommending her it was a no brainer who we would get our fur baby from. Carrilea was very responsive with all communication and sent picture updates of the puppies. She was very attentive to the dog needs by sending food and a couple of wash cloths that had the litter and dam scent for separation comfort. It turns out Mia didn’t skip a beat and had no separation issues because she transitioned like a champ. All of the papers for her came in a well-organized folder with the microchip already done. We are thrilled to have used C bar C ranch border collies and recommend her to anyone considering a Border collie puppy.” – Tomko Family – 1/2022
-“We just picked up our boy Marley (Slate Tri) a couple days ago. This boy will keep us on our toes for sure, but we can already tell he’s smart as a whip! In two days he’s already learned to sit at just 8 weeks old. The quality of dogs Carrilea breeds is top notch. From the minute we met him he was already adjusted to new people. He took to us in a matter of seconds and is adjusting perfectly with us at home. He even rode 13 hours to Florida in the car like a champ, with not one issue. Carrilea is also extremely responsive to any questions throughout the entire process. We highly recommend her if your wanting a BC. We can already tell he is going to be an awesome addition to our family” – Bennett Family – 5/2021
-“Just wanted to thank you again for this amazing pup. He turned one year old a few days ago and it’s crazy how much, not only me, but my friends and family are wrapped around his little paw. He means so much to my people and I really don’t know what I’d do without this lil dude taking up all my leg space every night!” – Riley 4/19
–“Today Kali is three! We just left the park because besides agility I know she’d want to spend her birthday herding! She has the strongest herding instinct of all our herding friends; her job is to herd the geese at the park and the dogs at the dog park! We still do agility and I can’t even believe the progress she has made. She does her weaves flawlessly now & even when we come from a jump or tunnel she collects herself for the weaves; she’s even starting to learn off-set weaves which she is picking up fast! She is the smartest, most obedient dog I’ve ever met. She has always been off leash and this year has truly shown how she has mastered this when in public. At the park I put her in a service vest because I like her off leash & she knows to stop when people come, heal to my side and walk next to me until we pass them! She’s truly remarkable. Because of the service vest I’ve taken her to chuck e. Cheese a few times, and all the stores. She’s just amazing; Also this summer she is braving the water! She will now go to her shoulders if there aren’t any waves & than she awkwardly hops out like a bunny. Haha She is in the picture of health at 41lbs.” – Briana – 7/15
– “You may not believe it but he sits on command! And doing pretty good on the potty training as well…if he has an accident it is pee after playing which is our fault…but the only two poop accidents he has had have been at the front door! You make awesome dogs girl! I don’t think it is possible for a dog to be smarter than BoBo was but I think roscoe will make a run at it!” – Gary – 12/14
– “I can’t explain the joy this little fellow brings to my life. He’ll try anything and learns very easily. He also never meets a stranger he’s so friendly. Zax (Keldon) is more than I every could have asked for when I decided to buy a border collie.” – Rayanna – 3/14
–“We absolutely love this little girl. She has been so much fun to have around. She goes with Kellen every day on the ranch and is fitting in so well. I will have to get you a picture of her working the cows. It came so natural to her we were all so impressed. Although she would like to work them more than we let her right now, she is doing so well and I can’t believe how well she learns and listens. We couldn’t have asked for a better fit as well as a better puppy! She is definitely spoiled but we love her to death! Thank you much again!”- Chelsea -12/12
– “We have pictures of little Ruby. We will be sending you some pictures of her. She is awesome!” – Vicky – 9/12
–“I just did some trading with Carrilea… I have been wanting one of her pups for a good while now, and we finally got together on a deal and when she brought the pup up and picked up the dog, she was very nice and the pup was in super shape and very friendly and well taken care of. Can’t wait to do some more trading with her again. I told her she had her pups priced too cheap for what they are; outstanding pup will take another one anytime and recommend her to anyone looking for a good herding prospect..nice slick healthy pups.. Thanks Tony” – 9/10
-“I had never bought a dog off the internet before and Carrilea made it such and easy experience. The shipping went so smooth(I am from Alberta Canada) and the pup was everything she said she was and more. Thank-you so much for letting me buy “Rosie” She has become a family member and very much loved.” – Sandy – 01/09
