Breeder Memberships: For Breeding Programs
Thoughtful breeding decisions begin with a clearer picture of the whole dog.
Welcome to BCHQ’s Breeder membership options, created for people considering a first litter or strengthening an established breeding program.
Find organized, science-based, welfare-centered education to support your decisions, your puppies, and the families who depend on your guidance. At BCHQ, you’ll find behavior‑focused articles, curated handouts from the Document Library. With a Breeder FREE Membership, you’ll have access limited FREE courses on breeding. With a Breeder PREMIUM, you’ll have access to step‑by‑step courses tailored to topics including up to date breeding topics.
Learning for Your Breeding Program
Explore responsible planning, breeder ethics, genetics, health testing, temperament, maternal support, puppy development, matching, and lifelong follow-up, building a breeding business, the Border Collie dog as a breeding dog, herding dog behavior in the breeding dog, and BC/dog welfare as it relates to the breeding dog.
Our L.E.G.S.®-informed approach considers Learning, Environment, Genetics, and Self, helping you look beyond a pedigree or single test result when making decisions.
In our course catalog you’ll find:
- Behavior & Training: Course content to help you better understand herding behavior, arousal, reactivity, enrichment, and practical training for real homes. L.E.G.S.®‑informed content that helps you understand the Learning, Environment, Genetics, and Self of your puppy or dog, giving you a clear, practical foundation for what truly makes sense for them.
- Puppy Info: Breed‑specific courses on choosing a Border Collie, preparing for puppy life, socialization, foundations, and the first year, along with what you can realistically expect from your dog after building that solid foundation together.
- Breeder Info: Courses to help you with planning litters, ethics and welfare, selecting breeding stock, genetics and health testing, and supporting puppies and families over the lifetime of the dog.
- Health & Care: Courses on the basics of grooming, nutrition, and everyday health topics to help you know what is typical, what may need attention, and when to partner with your veterinarian.
- L.E.G.S.® & Total Welfare: Offered both as stand‑alone courses and woven into specific topics, this is your starting point for exploring whole‑dog welfare and the L.E.G.S.® framework, with practical information to help you make training and lifestyle choices that truly make sense for you and your dog. L.E.G.S.® Model–based behavior topics, developed by Kim Brophey, help you understand herding behavior, arousal, reactivity, enrichment, and practical training for real homes.
Course offerings are actively being developed throughout 2026, with continued expansion planned into 2027.
