Not sure where to start on how magical these puppies are. I got my first border/aussie from Holly in 2012 and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. Honestly, every single person who met my dog fell in love with him. My roommate at the time, my parents, my brother, and close friends have since gotten a puppy from Cutting S ranch (some even have 2 now). There’s just something special about them. They’re sweet, smart, great with kids, aim to please, don’t run off, love to be with you, low anxiety, I could go on forever. It’s not just the “breed”, there is some different, warm, and special about the cutting S ranch blood lines.
We also recently started using the raw dog food after getting a second puppy from Cutting S Ranch and it’s a game changer! I love how fresh the raw meat is AND affordable l. I went to multiple pet stores looking at raw food options and most of them were 2-3x expensive and had veggies or other things in there that I really didn’t want to pay for per lb. It’s not hard to chop up some carrots or veggies and add it to the raw meat that cutting S ranch sells. Plus it will bulk it up, make it last longer, and carrots are less than $1/lb. The quality and sourcing is reliable and I couldn’t trust anyone more than them!

My husband was against a purebred Border Collie but agreed to a rescue. We lost out four times to people who were more local to the rescues. Then Ken found Holly and her Border Aussies. Holly had a litter due in a month. When our little Moqui (Moe Key) was born Holly let me pick my girl via photos. We had videos and pictures up until the day we picked Moqui up. Moqui was exposed to so much hands on care, many many experiences and textures which we are so sure helped Moqui be such a loving confident dog. When Ken drove 14 hours straight to pick her up, Holly refused to let Ken get a hotel and welcomed him into her home. When at a year Moqui contracted a very rare disease (caused like by a vaccination that was past its shelf life) Holly spent so much time with me on the phone before we knew the source expressing concern and appreciation in case it was genetic. Moqui is now almost seven I can not express how lucky we feel to have such an amazing soul in our lives. Thank you Holly.
