We are the breeders behind Riverside Collies-n-Critters located in Huntingtown, MD. We offer top-quality, loving, healthy, and socialized Border Collies. We adore and are proud of each of our dogs and pups! Our dogs are bred to be healthy, athletic, and comfortable with all aspects of a busy family life. Our dogs live in our home and are well socialized by our active and fun-loving multi-kid family. Our dogs are exposed to poultry and livestock on our property, as well as fun at and in the Patuxent River. Visit our About Us page to learn more about our family.
