DesertShore Border Collies is the collective name for our dog family and its endeavors. The name is a nod to both the 1970 album by Nico, and to the coastal areas of the Sea of Cortez, which is a favorite landscape of mine. My husband, Hector Acuna and I live in a mid-century modern ranch house in Phoenix, Arizona, with our 3 Border Collies: Kirby, Sadie and Gigit. I enjoy training and handling, and compete in conformation, herding, agility and rally obedience. I am a member of various clubs that support the Border Collie locally and Nationally.

I have occasional litters and breed to suit only myself, with utmost consideration for the health, well-being and betterment of the breed guiding my breeding choices. My goal is to produce sound, healthy, well-conformed dogs of a timeless, moderate type. Temperament is of essential importance to me, and I delight in the complexity of the Border Collie mind. While I honor the original and continuing purposes of the breed, I strive to produce puppies that can excel in a variety of performance pursuits, and live as happily in an active suburban family setting as on a ranch. My Border Collies are a great source of pleasure and I am grateful for everything they bring to my life.
