About Our Family
My name is Madeline Nixon and together with my husband Matt and our three children Liam, Zara, and Ryan, we are Zaryliam Border Collies. We have 6 Border Collies that share our home and run free on our 5 acre property in Mount Samson, Queensland, 40 minutes north west of Brisbane. 

I have owned Border Collies my whole life and have been involved in a number of different dog sports over the years, including agility, obedience, herding, lure coursing and confirmation showing.

We love our breed and we love our dogs. Every puppy we raise is raised in our family home and given as much time and love as if it was our own puppy. Vistors are always welcome to meet our family and see how our dogs live and if you want to follow our adventures you can follow us on instagram @zaryliambordercollies. ​

About Our Breeding
We have three main objectives when choosing to breed a litter;

Temperament 
Correct temperament in our puppies is our most important goal. We strive to produce puppies with a calm, yet itelligent mind and a loyal and biddable nature that is most suitable for suburban families.

Early Socialisation
We place a huge emphasis on early socialisation of our puppies. They are raised with our young children handling them daily and are exposed to dogs, cats, horses, cars, trucks, motorbikes, ride on mowers and all other sights and sounds of a busy family.

Health
All our puppies come with Dna results clearing them of genetic diseases CEA, CL and TNS. Our parents are hip and elbow scored to ensure we have taken every precaution possible to produce healthy puppies.

About Our Home
We have 5 acres of cleared land for the dogs to run on, as well as 3 purposefully built secure puppy yards, complete with auto waters, shade, beds, premium synthetic pet turf, and handmade merbau decks. The yards are built off our garage so the puppies have access to our home for sleeping and at night time.
