Happenstance Border Collies is founded by Amanda Gross who has a passion for all things dog.
We are an Accountable Preservation Breeder of the Purebred Border Collie. Type, health, temperament are at the utmost importance for us. Amanda is a professional dog trainer with experience in veterinary. She teaches, trains and trials for various events including Agility, Obedience, Conformation, Herding, Rally, and more. Agility is where all the fun began and the love for all things dog grew. Formerly a practice manager at a Colorado Springs veterinary clinic, she was able to move to the Eastern Plains of Washington State on a lovely plot of land where the dogs are able to run, play, and grow. We have cats and horses out here for our puppies to be raised around. Our dogs are active and are all treated as well respected members of the canine family here. We are located South West of Spokane in a beautiful area with beautiful scenery and lots of space for the dogs. From a young age our dogs are well socialized, trained, and given the opportunity to show us their true personalities. We moved from Colorado to Warden in September of 2021 and hope to make this out forever home! Please browse through some of our pictures of typical adventures! |

PLEASE READ
Visits are all done at my residential property, my home, where my dogs are raised. Between a full time job and properly caring for all of the dogs and puppies here at our property visits are set up between all of the things that my our life busy here. We set up visits AFTER we have approved someone as a potential owner for our dogs.
There has been a very large number of people "double dealing," setting up visits with multiple breeders or facilities to visit their dogs, without notifying all parties. This is a VERY VERY dangerous practice as there are many communicable diseases that are spread to puppies that are not fully vaccinated.
Communicable diseases are common and can be spread through your CLOTHING, SHOES, SKIN unintentionally from coming into contact with a disease at one facility then coming to another. We MUST know if you have visited any of the following within 7 days of coming to our property, SHELTER, RESCUE, BREEDER, PET STORE, DOG PARK, EMERGENCY VETERINARY HOSPITAL. This is for the safety of our animals as we have puppies without fully developed immune systems frequently. This will allow us to take appropriate precautions or potentially reschedule your visit.
We ask that you ONLY set up a visit if you are ready to commit to that dog should they be a good match when you visit. This means if you have multiple other visits scheduled along with ours and we find out we very well may cancel your visit with us as TRUST is very important when we are TRUSTING you with one of our beloved dogs or puppies.
