If you are interested in a Lapochka puppy, we welcome you to contact us to discuss your circumstances and what you are looking for in a Border Collie.

Lapochka is a boutique Border Collie kennel based on a private rural acreage within the Sydney region, New South Wales, Australia. While we are situated within the region, we warmly welcome enquiries from families across Sydney, regional NSW, and interstate.

Yes. Showing is an important part of the Lapochka breeding program.

Our dogs are selected and developed with consideration for breed type, structure and movement, and we actively participate in conformation showing. We believe the show ring provides an opportunity to objectively assess our dogs against the Border Collie breed standard.

You can view our dogs and their show records on the Our Dogs and Showing pages.

We take time to get to know prospective families and understand their lifestyle, experience and expectations of the Border Collie.

Our aim is to match each puppy thoughtfully with the home and future that best suits the individual dog. We are interested in homes where our puppies will be valued as lifelong family members and given the companionship, training and activity that a Border Collie needs.

For enquiries about a future Lapochka puppy, please contact us directly.

Not every puppy is suited to a show or breeding career, and we do not determine this solely from appearance at an early age.

As puppies develop, we assess their structure, movement, breed type, temperament and overall development. Where appropriate, we may discuss show or breeding potential with families who are interested in pursuing these paths.

Our priority is always the individual puppy and the right long-term home for that dog.

Yes. We welcome enquiries from suitable homes throughout Australia.

Lapochka is based in New South Wales, and interstate families are welcome to contact us to discuss their circumstances, our puppies and the practical arrangements involved in welcoming a Lapochka Border Collie into their home.

Yes. Lapochka is a Dogs NSW registered Border Collie breeder, and our puppies are registered with Dogs NSW.

Puppies leave Lapochka with their Dogs NSW registration certificate, together with the relevant health and care information.

Our breeding program is focused on the responsible development of the Border Collie, with careful consideration given to pedigree, health, structure, movement, temperament and breed type.

Health testing is an important part of the Lapochka breeding program.

Our breeding dogs are DNA tested through MyDogDNA or Orivet, hip and elbow scored, and eye tested where applicable. These results are considered alongside pedigree, structure, movement, temperament and breed type when making breeding decisions.

We are happy to discuss the health testing relevant to our breeding dogs and planned litters with prospective families.

Lapochka puppy pricing reflects the care involved in raising each litter, including veterinary care, health screening, registration, early development and preparation for life with their new family.

For current pricing, availability and further information, please contact us directly.

Each puppy has a veterinary examination at around six weeks of age, and families receive the relevant health and care information when their puppy goes home.

We take a thoughtful approach to puppy placement rather than allocating puppies simply on a first-come, first-served basis.

As puppies develop, we get to know their individual personalities, temperaments, structure and characteristics. We use this knowledge, together with an understanding of each family's lifestyle and expectations, to help determine the most suitable match.

Families are welcome to tell us what they are looking for, and we will guide them through the process of choosing the right Lapochka puppy.

Yes. We value the relationship we build with every Lapochka family and remain available as your puppy grows.

We are always happy to hear how our dogs are progressing and to provide guidance where we can, particularly during the early stages of settling into a new home.

Our aim is for every Lapochka puppy to remain part of our extended family throughout their life.

To ensure a calm, safe environment for our young litters, our property is open to visits strictly by appointment. Once our enquiry process is complete and your family has been carefully matched with a puppy, we warmly welcome you to visit our estate in the Sydney region to meet your puppy and complete collection arrangements.
