At Windwhirl Border Collies in St. Petersburg, Florida, we are licensed breeders with a lifelong passion for this extraordinary breed. Our mission is to raise happy, healthy, and well-socialized Border Collie puppies that bring joy and companionship to loving families. Through responsible and ethical breeding practices, we ensure that every puppy is of outstanding quality and has the potential to grow into a loyal, intelligent, and devoted companion.
The health and well-being of our dogs and puppies are always our highest priority. At Windwhirl, we provide a clean, safe, and nurturing environment where our Border Collies receive exceptional care and attention. Socialization plays a key role in our program—from the very beginning, puppies are gently handled, loved, and introduced to everyday sights, sounds, and experiences. This helps them develop into confident, well-adjusted companions ready to thrive in their forever homes.
Our commitment doesn’t end when a puppy leaves Windwhirl. We carefully select the right homes to ensure each puppy is placed with a family that will provide love and care for a lifetime. We also remain a resource for our puppy families, offering guidance and support whenever needed. Many of our new owners stay connected with us, and we’re proud that our dedication and care are reflected in our 5-star reviews.
At Windwhirl Border Collies, we don’t just breed puppies—we build lasting relationships and a strong foundation for every dog’s future.
At Windwhirl Border Collies, our dogs are not only raised with love and devotion, but they also come from carefully selected, high-quality bloodlines that uphold the highest standards of the breed. We say “community” because Border Collie breeders truly form a close-knit circle, working together to preserve quality, health, and the integrity of this remarkable breed.
From advanced health testing—including DNA screening, hip and elbow evaluations, and eye exams—to regular vet care and monitoring, every effort is made to ensure the health, soundness, and wellbeing of our Border Collies. The results of these tests, along with the love and care our dogs receive before, during, and after breeding, reflect our deep commitment to excellence. We are happy to provide copies of our purchase agreement and health guarantee upon request. Every Windwhirl puppy comes with a five-year health guarantee, is kept current on vaccinations, and is raised with early socialization techniques (including the “Rule of Sevens”) to help them develop into confident, well-adjusted companions.
We also limit the number of litters each dam has, always prioritizing her health, age, and overall wellbeing. Some may have several litters, while others may only have one or two—because for us, the health and happiness of our Border Collies always come first. We will never breed unless we are certain that the dog is healthy, thriving, and capable of producing outstanding puppies.
We are especially proud of the champion bloodlines within our program and breed with quality in mind for both working and companion homes. Many of our Border Collies excel in AKC, herding, agility, and other performance events, while others shine as cherished family members. Above all, we want each of our puppies to be placed in loving homes that will not only care for them, but also understand that a Border Collie is far more than just a working dog or a competitor—they are a loyal friend, a trusted partner, and a beloved member of the family.
We are committed to breeding only healthy dogs that meet the breed standard. Our breeding dogs undergo genetic testing to ensure they are free of any hereditary diseases. We carefully select breeding pairs to produce puppies that will be healthy and have desirable traits.
We value our customers and are always here to help. We provide ongoing support and guidance to our puppy owners to ensure a smooth transition for both the puppy and the family. We are always available to answer any questions or concerns.
I just wanted to say hello and let you know how Dakota is doing. She has adjusted so well to Lexi (our older dog) and of course to the rest of the family. We are having such a wonderful time with her—she’s full of personality, friendly, and absolutely loves snuggling with the kids. It’s the sweetest thing! She follows Lexi around like a little shadow, which has helped her pick up some of the rules quickly (we’ve nearly mastered house training!). She’s doing a fantastic job, and we couldn’t be happier. I’ve attached some photos to show you how well she’s doing.
Just wanted to give you an update—we’re thankfully past the early puppy challenges and now enjoying every moment with Genny! She’s doing amazing. She’s absolutely gorgeous and even sweeter than our beloved Kenya was, which says a lot. She’s definitely a “mommy’s girl,” though my husband tries to claim her too. 😊 She reminds us so much of Maggie, just as you described. She now weighs around 25–27 lbs and is playful, gentle, and well-behaved. The only time she’s ever gotten into a bit of trouble was clearly not her doing—the evidence was written all over another pup’s face! She’s healthy, happy, and adored beyond measure. Thank you again!
Henry is more than I ever could have hoped for. He has brought so much joy from the moment he came home. He’s both incredibly smart and adorably goofy, and he always steals the show wherever we go. From my very first email, Aurelia and Walter made the process easy and reassuring. The regular updates, photos, and videos made the wait worth it and showed how much they truly care about their puppies. I can’t imagine my home without Henry now—I’m so grateful I found Windwhirl Border Collies.
His wonderful personality made us even more certain we had chosen the right puppy. Just a few months later, we also welcomed Bella into our home, and she fit right in with Max and our other Collie. Now our home is filled with laughter, energy, and the love of these amazing dogs. Thank you for entrusting us with such special puppies!
Thank you so much for our new baby, Bandit. He has been the perfect addition to our family. Your experience and love for your dogs really shows. You took the time to help us pick the right puppy, even though we were in different states, and your photos and videos made the process seamless. This wasn’t just a transaction—you genuinely care. We couldn’t be more thankful, and if we ever decide to add another Border Collie, there’s no one else we’d go to.
