Oak Pond is located in Conway, South Carolina just 20 miles west of Myrtle Beach. We strive to produce
only healthy, sound Border Collies that will bring a lifetime of love and companionship. Our dogs are
versatile going to both working, companion, and sporting homes.
Our Border Collie puppies are well socialized, raised in our home with our children and a variety of
other animals. We also begin the process of housetraining at 6 weeks of age using the crate training method.
Pups are examined by our veterinarians at VCA Palmetto Animal Hospital. They are dewormed starting
at 2 weeks of age, administered age appropriate vaccines and micro-chipped. Complete medical history is kept on each
puppy from the day it is born until the day it leaves Oak Pond. This information is provided to new owners as
well as ABCA registration and application for AKC registration.
A FEW WORDS AND A GREAT STORY ABOUT
PET ADOPTION
Before deciding on a puppy, Please check your local shelter for a pet in need.
Many border collies end up at shelters due to the owner's lack of knowledge and/or unrealistic expectations. Border
Collies require patience, active lifestyles and understanding. Our family knows first hand that rescue dogs
make AWESOME pets!
Dear Kim, I just wanted to write and let you know that
we found our girl at the animal shelter.
I went to your web page wanting to buy a puppy but once I saw about
the animal shelters that is where we have been looking at for our border collie. I'm sending you a picture of her, she
is about 4 months old and her 1st owner said she was a Tara so that is her name Tara. But to us she is wonderful!!!
My daughter Alixandra is just amazed how smart Tara is. I told her that Tara just needs to learn when to do the
commands not how to do them. I hope I have not bothered you to much but I hope you could
tell me if you think she is a pure border collie. Thanks so much! Kristie Cantrell
The Cantrell Family hit the puppy jackpot and Tara is one lucky rescue! We are
very happy for the Cantrell family and encourage you to please check the local animal shelters for a pet in need.
Thank you.
