RECENT TESTIMONIALS FROM SOME OF OUR CLIENTS
Joseph/ Columbus

We have had a wonderful experience with Contact Point Border Collies. We will pick them over and over if we were given the chance to.

They kept in contact throughout and it was so great to get photos as we anticipated the arrival of our new puppy. 

Most importantly and best of all, Contact Point Border Collies  provided a loving, healthy, and safe environment for mama dog and puppies. Their thorough care and concern is evident in all they say and do. 

We are beyond delighted with our new puppy and grateful he was provided such a good start.

We purchased our 12 weeks old Border Collies from a young couple named Austin and Karen. This was not the case at all. Their house and gardens were beautiful. They invited us into their home and it was impeccable and clean-looked like a house you’d see on HGTV. They feed their puppies all natural raw food diet, which is impressive for a breeder since this food isn’t cheap! They also were very caring with our puppy and could tell the puppy bonded with them since he followed them around as we were doing our paperwork. The small building where the dogs were kept also looked very nice from the outside (matched their house). We didn’t go inside, but I didn’t think it was necessary after we arrived. I hope that anyone considering buying a puppy from Austin Stokes and Karen Moureaux can see this review & feel comfortable about getting a puppy from them. They were great. So is Toby!

I cannot say enough good things about getting my puppy through Contact Point Border Collies About a month ago I started looking on here for a Border Collie puppies and found a beautiful litter from a breeder, Mr. Austine Stokes I spoke with both him and his wife on the phone and they were great about answering all my questions. I set up an appointment to visit as soon as I could. I was 99% sure Scooter was the puppy for us but they let us visit with all the puppies in the litter including the Mother and Grandmother of the pups! He came home basically potty trained and is the most social and well behaved puppy. All of the puppies looked great, they were raised with children and their farm is beautiful! Scooter had been vet checked before we got him and passed our vet check with flying colors! I would not hesitate to get another puppy from them in the future, I am very happy with the experience.

We are foreigners in the United States from Spain. With our numerous tries to own a Border Collies, we finally came across Contact Point Border Collies who are just the Best breeders you will ever want to adopt a puppy from and i did some findings only to discover they are the the most rated border collie breeders in the states. We have been misled by many breeders trying to own a puppy until my wife found them.We decided to give it a last try and behold it paid off. Lilac has been an amazing baby girl from day one . She is so friendly and playful. Because of her friendly nature, we take her alongside with us anywhere we are going as she doesn’t bark in public. We have been puppy owners for 6 months now. Thank you for seeing us through these months and helping us each time we needed you. It has been the best 6 months of our life given our many failed trials to own a puppy. We decided to send this note just to let you know how our  first half a year of owning a puppy has been. The feeling has been awesome. Lilac is so intelligent. She is just a genius, takes to every little command. She is just the best. My wife and I are happy beings with her.

Last year we had to put our Border Collies down which devastated us, as she was a true part of the family. Over time we thought about a rescue however there are rarely pure Border Collies anywhere near us and later learned of this site. We found a Border Collie pup (Carol but renamed to Willow) that was available from Austin Stokes. Austin was always prompt at returning calls, typically within a day and was very good in answering our questions and providing information on her. She was being raised with her mother at Carlos farm and I drove out to meet her. Austin was very nice and welcoming and I had a chance to not only meet her but her mother and a sibling. We were unable to take her home that day as we needed to get ‘stuff’ as we donated to an animal shelter what we had prior, so Austin and his Wife Karen were nice enough to keep her for about a week + until we were able to get back. Being raised on a farm though, we did have some concerns as to how well she would transition to a house and also how well would she be in regards to socialization. Our concerns were completely unfounded – she adapted to the house in no time, within days she was all over, we had to block some of the steps as she was up and down those like she was there forever. And in regards to socialization, not a person nor dog she doesn’t like and thinks anyone at our house is there for her – she just loves people. We have had her since December, she is 9+ months and such a good, sweet dog, and typical of border collies she loves to play, she’ll get a ball and play fetch all day and we started her with some basic agility activities which she has loved doing. Checkups from our vet have been good, went through the spay procedure with flying colors and adapted great to our house and family. Will recommend Contact Point Border Collies if you see any pups in the future that he may have available.

I just wanted to drop a note and let you know how great Rocky (Dylan renamed him) is doing. He’s adjusted really well and loves all the attention! We’ve only had one accident so far. He’s learned to go to the backdoor when he wants to go out and sleeps through the entire night without any issues. He doesn’t mind going up steps, but will not go down, so we’re slowly working on that. I understand it is still his first weeks in his new home. He has a favorite toy and is quite attached to Dylan. I learned that there is a veterinarian on base and have made him an appointment there.  I’ve attached a few pictures. I’ll send another update soon. Have a great day!

We received our Border Collies, a lady called Karen Moureaux, from Contact Point Border Collies. She has been such a great addition to our family. She loves being playful with the children but is also loving and enjoys cuddling next to us in the evening. She is a quick learner. Potty trained well, is a quick learner and training easily for other commands. I came across  Border Collies on google. Austin Stokes was so wonderful with communication and accommodated well with getting Lady to us. Lady had to be flown to us and Austin made sure everything was in order and that she would be safe on the flight to us. When she arrived Lady was in perfect health, clean, and happy. Austin was great about answering all of our questions, getting back to us in a timely manner, and followed up with us to be sure all went well and to be sure Lady was doing well with the transition. I would recommend Contact Point Border Collies to anyone that wanted a healthy family pet! They are great people and wonderful to work with.

I had never gone to a breeder for a dog before and didn’t know what to expect. Karen was seriously the nicest person I have ever met and she cares so much for all her dogs! I LOVE my Contact Point puppy so much and he is turning out to be an amazing little pup. Highly recommended and I can’t wait to get another in the future!”

MASHEY / TEXAS

I honestly can’t say enough good things about this website. Before finding it, I felt completely overwhelmed trying to learn how to properly care for my Border Collie puppy. This site broke everything down in such a clear and thoughtful way—from feeding schedules to exercise routines and mental stimulation ideas. What really stood out to me was how much the content reflects a deep understanding of the breed. Border Collies aren’t just any dogs—they’re incredibly intelligent and energetic—and this site truly respects that.

After following the training advice provided, I’ve seen a huge improvement in my dog’s focus and behavior. The step-by-step guides made it easy to stay consistent, and the tips actually work in real life. I also appreciate how honest the site is about the challenges of owning a Border Collie, while still being encouraging. It feels like guidance from someone who genuinely cares. I recommend Contact Point Border Collies to every Border Collie owner I meet

MARVIS / MAINE

This website was a lifesaver for me and my family. We recently adopted our first Border Collie, and while we were excited, we quickly realized how much responsibility comes with such an intelligent and active breed. Thankfully, this site had everything we needed in one place.

The sections on training and mental enrichment were especially helpful. We implemented several of the suggested games and activities, and the difference in our dog’s happiness and behavior was almost immediate. I also loved how the site emphasizes building a strong bond with your dog, not just obedience.

Another thing I really appreciated was the transparency and detail throughout the site. It never felt like generic advice—it was clearly written by people who have real experience with Border Collies. Thanks to this resource, we feel much more confident and capable as dog owners. Truly an amazing sit

MARVIS / CHICAGO

I’ve been a Border Collie owner for years, and I still learned so much from this website. It’s rare to find a resource that’s both beginner-friendly and valuable for experienced owners. The depth of information here is impressive, especially when it comes to understanding the breed’s behavior and needs.

One of my favorite parts of the site is how it explains why Border Collies act the way they do. That insight has helped me adjust my training approach and be more patient and effective. The articles are well-written, easy to follow, and full of practical advice you can actually use every day.

I also love the overall tone—it’s supportive, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the well-being of these dogs. You can tell a lot of care went into creating this resource. I’ve already bookmarked it and shared it with friends who are considering getting a Border Collie.”

From the moment I landed on this website, I could tell it was something special. The layout is clean and easy to navigate, and the content is incredibly thorough. I was specifically looking for guidance on training my Border Collie puppy, and I ended up spending hours exploring all the different sections because there was just so much valuable information.

The training tips have been a game changer for me. My puppy used to get bored easily and act out, but after applying the mental stimulation techniques recommended on the site, she’s much calmer and more engaged. It’s made our daily routine so much more enjoyable.

What I appreciate most is that the advice feels realistic and achievable. It doesn’t expect perfection—it encourages consistency and understanding. That made a huge difference in my confidence as a dog owner. I’m incredibly grateful I found this sit
