“At Emerald Park Border Collies, my greatest joy comes from seeing my puppies thriving in loving homes. I am incredibly grateful to the families who take the time to share their experiences with me. Below are some of the kind words from Emerald Park's puppy families — honest reflections of the care, support, and dedication I put into every litter."

Joanne Fowler, NSW

"We got our beautiful girl Ziggy in 2022. Due to Donna’s dedication to the breed, her dogs, and their puppies, we were able to share Ziggy’s journey from her mother’s pregnancy, birth and those important formative weeks of Ziggy’s life before we took her her home. Donna continues to be a beacon of wisdom and advice, and part of Ziggy’s life."

Sue Jones, NSW

"We bought a puppy from Donna in Nov 2024. Donna has always been helpful and supportive. The care she gives to the puppies is outstanding and the time and effort she puts in is amazing. She keeps in contact with the families and genuinely cares about each puppy and their forever homes. Our puppy at only 12 weeks old has been complimented many times about how calm and well behaved he is, this is also due to his training since we got him, but he is so very trainable once you start. I am very pleased to have found the Emerald Park Border Collies and have been able to have one in our family."

Belinda Shorter, Vic

“A Big Thank You to Donna at Emerald Park Border Collies for Our Gorgeous Boy, Banjo!

We can’t say enough good things about our experience with Emerald Park. From the moment we first contacted Donna she was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and passionate about her Border Collies.

Banjo has been the most wonderful addition to our family. He’s not only stunningly beautiful but also has the sweetest temperament and sharp mind. It’s clear that Donna puts a lot of love and care into raising her puppies, and it shows in every aspect of Banjo’s behavior and health.

The entire process, from selecting our puppy to bringing him home, was smooth and stress-free. We were kept informed with regular updates and photos, which made the wait even more exciting. Emerald Park also provided us with plenty of information and support to help Banjo settle into his new home.

If you’re considering adding a Border Collie to your family, we highly recommend Emerald Park Border Collies. They are truly dedicated to breeding top-quality, well-rounded dogs, and we’re forever grateful for the joy Banjo has brought into our lives.

Thank you, Donna for our perfect boy!”

Amelia Blake, NSW

"Donna is truely an amazing breeder. As a long time border collie owner, we came across Emerald Park in our search for a breeder for our latest puppy. I can 100% say the difference in Donna’s puppies is amazing and like no other. Long after the puppy is home, Donna continues to offer support and advice. I would never look anywhere else if you are after a well-rounded beautiful border collie."

Beata Coombes, Qld

"We purchased a beautiful red & white border collie from Emerald Park. From our first communication, to being selected for one of the puppies and almost 3 years later (as our beautiful boy is almost 3), Donna provided (and continues to provide) the most amazing information and support.

Donna raises her dogs and puppies to the highest standard, she is an ethical breeder with a wealth of experience and that shines through all her puppies.

Our boy received excellent care during his time as a puppy so when we received him, he already had a beautiful temperament and excellent training. Toby is an exceptional example of a healthy, happy and behaviourally sound dog. He is the most wonderful family companion, and we love him to bits.

I highly recommend Emerald Park - you won’t be disappointed."

Rosalind Adeney, ACT

“We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have found Emerald Park. We could see immediately that Donna is a responsible breeder who provides excellent care for all her animals, and she was very thoughtful in her preparation of both our puppy and ourselves. Our beautiful puppy is now a grown dog, but we are privileged to be a part of the Emerald Park family, which continues to support each other, sharing tips and knowledge about our beloved Border Collies through their life journeys. Donna does an amazing job of keeping us all updated and connected, in whatever corner of the globe we might be, and is always there to answer any questions, even years after you bring your puppy home. We highly recommend Emerald Park to anyone who is looking for a well bred Border Collie.”

"An ethical breeder of well adjusted, good natured puppies. Donna provides exceptional customer service with regular communications, photographs of your puppy and advice on all aspects of puppy raising. I thoroughly recommend joining the Emerald Park “family”."

Martha Stevastopoulos, Vic

"I just wanted to to leave a review from a perspective of not even yet having received a puppy from Donna at Emerald Park. I’ve been on Donna’s waiting list since last year and throughout this whole process, Donna has been nothing but true to her word.

I’ve probably bombarded Donna with a million and one questions as I’ve been waiting basically my whole adult life to finally be ready to FINALLY welcome my own little fur baby into my life, but Donna has been an absolute delight to deal with throughout it all.

Her replies are always on the day of me asking a question, she’s kept me informed where I stand in the line and has been true to her word (especially since I live in a completely different state). Finally, I am now in line for one of her puppies ready in March and I am so so SO excited! Donna is very informative, and I already feel so connected to this litter as I’ve seen their progress from conception (which to me, is so important because you feel so involved from the start). Nothing makes me happier than to see the progress of these babies grow! I’ve already been given so much information and educational content to give my future baby the best start to its life. I am so happy that I waited. And I cannot wait to select my little baby! If you are thinking in applying for a puppy, do it! It’s been an absolute pleasure so far! Thank you, Donna, for being so amazing, professional and caring. You can certainly see how much you value and want to support your puppies' future families. You do a fantastic job! Credit to you!"

Emma Le Grand, Vic

"We are so happy to be part of the Emerald Park 'family'. Our black sable girl, Skipper, is a beautiful, happy, healthy, friendly, affectionate and sweet family dog, and an absolute credit to Donna.

Donna's communication is above and beyond, and her knowledge and support is invaluable. This has continued well past the puppy stage, and she takes so much interest in her dogs' lives and long-term development. Her passion and love for what she does really shines through.

We also really value the fact Donna does Early Neurological Stimulation with her puppies, helping lay the best possible foundations for healthy, resilient dogs.

We can't thank her enough for bringing Skipper into our lives."

"Emerald Park Border Collies are a fabulous breeder of beautiful dogs. Donna is extremely knowledgeable & always expanding her education on dogs, breeding, feeding & behaviour. Our 1 year old Daisy is a gentle, well natured & smart Border. She is healthy & happy on a raw diet & Donna has shared & continues to share nutritional information that is so helpful. Would recommend Donna & Emerald Park in a heart beat."

Michael Healey, Wingham & Valley Vets, NSW

"Responsibly bred Border Collies with beautiful temperaments."

Victoria Cowland, WA

"Donna has been absolutely amazing!!! I got my girl off her about 2 months ago and she has been nothing but helpful!! She put herself out to make sure Bailey was safe when the fright company stuffed up. My next pup will definitely be from Donna again. Bailey is an absolutely amazing pup!!!"

"We have recently welcomed one of Donna’s puppies into our family and she is the most gorgeous settled puppy. We were updated the whole time Bessie was pregnant to when we picked our puppy up. We are all in love with her!! I highly recommend Emerald Park Border Collies."

Amy O'Loughlan, Qld

"Donna was amazing, sending photos of our little puppy and updating us as he grew. She was very accommodating and made the process of flying Marty up to Brisbane an easy one. Marty is absolutely beautiful and has the loveliest nature. He's great with other dogs, cats and kids and has become a very important member of our family. Very impressed!"

Eloise Healy, Vic

"Donna is open, honest, has fantastic communication and gives out a wealth of information about her pups. Our little boy is healthy, smart and crazy - just what a border collie puppy should be! I can't recommend Emerald Park enough if you want a border collie pup from a responsible breeder. Thanks, Donna, for our adorable little bundle of mayhem!"
