Our Dogs

We've been breeding and training Border Collies for over 45 years. Our dog’s bloodlines are first generation, imported from Scotland, Wales, and England. Not only do our dogs work the farm daily, but also they are also highly trained competitive trial dogs.

We train our dogs for nuisance goose control on domestic geese. We are able to train them year round due to our indoor training facility. We feel that goose control dogs should be trained on geese, and not ducks or sheep. By using domestic geese, they are pre-exposed to the working conditions that they will find on the job.

Nutmeg Farm is a world-renowned dog training facility. When other goose control companies need their dogs trained, tuned up, or looking to purchase a trained dog, they come to us.

Here at Nutmeg Pest and Wildlife Solutions not only do we use Border Collies for goose management, we use Patterdale Terriers for rodent control and bedbug detection. We believe there is no better solution to many of our nuisance bird, bedbug and rodent management issues than canine instinct.

There are many advantages to using Patterdale Terriers for rodent control and bedbug detection. Just like the Border Collies, Patterdales are known for their work ethic. They are still bred today, for vermin control. Traditionally, in the United Kingdom, they are used to hunt, fox, badgers, rabbits and rats. Here in the United Staes they are used for hunting fox, woodchuck, raccoon, nutria and rats. As you can see Patterdale Terriers are the perfect dog for us to add to our canine pest and wildlife solutions program. We only choose well bred dogs for our teams.

Our rodent dogs can be seen at “go to ground” trials. And like our Border Collies are making names for themselves. Dogs that we have bred compete at high levels at numerous dog sport competitions. Our Patterdales are certified in bedbug and rodent detection by NESDCA. Border Collie and Patterdale Terrier puppies are occasionally available.
