Established in 1895 Bonnielass Border Collies has a proud heritage and a colourful history. We specialise in breeding working sheepdogs that have the ability to work in any conditions.

We are a family of herders situated in the dry Karoo region of South Africa, where the arid climate makes it ideal for sheep farming, and thus the perfect circumstances for sheepdog training. Other animals on the farm include Swiss goats and we also grow olive trees on the farm.

We strictly breed with pure bred Border Collies and we favour the Coon bloodline for their strength, speed, stamina and their versatility in working with both large and small flocks of sheep, and other animals. They respond quickly and accurately to verbal and whistled commands.

Our training methods are of the highest standard and have been tried and tested over the years. We have found it best to train each dog separately from the age of four months, at which age they are physically able to cover the large distances involved.

The dogs are also good watch dogs and not very aggressive that makes them the perfect breed for children.
