Testimonials from our Border Collie Customers
 Testimonial by Leandro Boldrini, Parana, Brazil |
"When I decided to buy a stud dog prospect from the USA, I was looking for a solid, full cattle-bloodline dog. I was not looking for a litter from champion show dogs, rather I was looking for a litter from a farm working sire and dam. When I found the Johnson family and looked at the lines from the sire and dam's pedigrees, I said, "This is what I'm looking for," and I made contact with Angie Johnson. This was a new experience for me, and I think for the Johnson family too, because the dog had to be shipped by airplane from the USA to the other side of the America and then to Brazil. But everything went OK, and I am here with one of the greatest dogs I have ever seen in my life. The socializing process done by the Johnson's was great. Roy has an excellent temperament, excellent bones, and a fantastic cow sense. I'm sure Roy will be one of the greatest border collie sire's in Brazil." |

"It took exactly 2 days for Klepto to completely steal our hearts. He’s a sweet little boy that gets along with everyone, dog or human. While he is perfectly happy to snuggle up with us in the house and doesn’t get wound up watching exciting things, he loves to go to work for daddy. I look forward to every time I get to work with him because he will always make me laugh no matter how I feel at the time." Check this video of Klepto has his very first National Finals.

"Summit has been the perfect dog from the day I brought him home. The first chance I got to interact with him was in the airport parking lot after a 3 hour flight home to Canada, he launched himself out of the kennel and began tugging wildly on his leash as the planes were flying above. It has been that easy from day one, the Johnson's must have done a wonderful job socializing the pups as Summit is yet to meet a person or dog that he does not love. He is extremely focussed and driven even from a pup yet he is so level headed when away from work. He goes everywhere with me, flying across the country or driving to work and back everyday, he is perfectly content to sit beside me and wait for whatever comes next. Summit is a joy to be around and way too much fun to work with, I can't imagine life without him. And did I mention he is on of the best looking dogs out there?!?!" Check out this video of Summit training at 7 months old.

It is a wonderful experience welcoming a Double J Border Collie into our home! Race is so quick to catch onto anything new that I throw at him. Even learning slightly new arm signals due to my broken left arm! He's also absolutely fearless!
We've had two equipment malfunctions (agility equipment). I've had a Pause table completely collapse under Race as I sent him to a down. He rode the table to the ground and stayed in the down position, giving me this puzzled look like "okay this is different-did I do it right???" As I picked up the pieces of the table he kept repositioning himself till I realized-I hadn't released him! What a good boy!
The second malfunction was the C-ring broke on the chain that lowers the height of the teeter. When I sent him to the teeter, he held his two on and two off as the teeter fell flat-what a great dog! Neither of these caused him to even flinch. He is such an amazing, fun dog to train.
And last but not least, a great hugger and a very sweet boy!

"We were on your web site and saw that you had a litter of pups. Buck's half sisters and brothers. We almost were tempted to get a third dog. We called to tell you how much we are enjoying Buckley. He is making a great dog. Thank you for sending the papers. Buck's training is going great, he enjoys the herding classes, has a good "get-a-hold". He has good bone, good shoulders, and a super nice temperament. (wants to be a lap dog). He spends the day under my desk, walks on the golf course in the mornings, goes to the roping, learning to bring the cattle up the lane for us. His little head tilt when you are talking to him is his signature that he is saying, 'I am here for you.'" |

"Our family is thrilled with Jett. She is everything we had hoped for. She's not only a beautiful dog, she has the brains to match. I cannot imagine our home without her. The Johnson's did a fantastic job on socializing her. My emails were answered promptly and it was obvious these pups were lovingly raised. Jett has always shown an interest in working stock. She's very bold about moving them and shows no fear, even when facing a big ewe. She will bite on command if needed. Recently we held a beginner stock dog clinic. Jett hadn't worked for several months but picked up right where she had left off. I would recommend any puppies that the Johnsons have bred." |

"Kegan is nothing less than spectacular. He is a great combination of boundless energy and quietness, he goes to work with me every day and sleeps under my desk and then runs like the wind after work when we go walking on the beach. He is the epitome of intelligent, able to learn almost anything in one or two lessons, so far I've been able to stay ahead of him but I expect any day to see that he has ordered home delivery of Omaha steaks off of the Internet." |

"We sold our ranch and gave away our Border Collie. We went almost a year with a chihuahua, before we decided that we couldn't live without a Border Collie. Clay Johnson's litter was just what we needed. Maggie is a great addition to our family. She is loving, bright, and our son is having a great time in his 4H dog obedience class. We hope to have her in our family for many years to come. I would recommend a Double J pup to anyone." |

"I just wanted to let you know how awesome Lace is. She is great. She has started her directions on goats. She shows a lot of style and instinct." |

"Hopper’s a beautiful puppy that steals everyone’s heart the moment they see her. She is very friendly and loves kids.
She is great fun to play with and is a very aggressive dog. Hopper has great fun taking on my friend's St. Bernice Mt. dogs,
especially all 3 at once. At 6 months she started showing signs of wanting to work and now at 8 months she’s already trying
to figure out how to use her natural instincts. I’ll be starting her with a herd dog trainer soon and can’t wait to see how
she does. She is very intelligent; she learns most things after one time and is consistently obeying commands with in a week
or less. She loves to chase her ball, but it’s obvious that what she really wants is to work. If your looking for a sweet
pup or another working dog, I would highly recommend one of their puppies. Hope to have the room soon for another puppy;
I would love to get Hopper a sister. They were very prompt at getting back to me and were more than willing to work around my
schedule when it cam time to pick her up." |
