First Harmony Farms sells quality Border Collies, Miniature American Shepherds, and English Setter Puppies from health tested parents. All health testing about the parents is on their individual sites. We do not usually have adults for sale as our dogs live out their lives as pets here at First Harmony Farms. If we do have any rescues, returns, or other adults become available, they will be listed here as well. 
​
We are located in Tiskilwa, IL. We can set appointments to come see the animals at our home. Please set up an appointment to come and meet them as we are not always at home. email: [email protected]. You can contact us via phone at 815-876-6796.  Tiskilwa, Illinois is located in Central Illinois about two hours from Chicago, an hour from Peoria, and an hour from the Quad Cities.

Facebook
Visit our Facebook page for information about Puppy Play times. These are open for anyone looking to meet us, our dogs, and our puppies that are old enough to come out. We also try to post videos and extra pics of the puppies and dogs to the Facebook Page. As picking is happening we will post as puppies are picked. We will post if there are any puppies left available after the deposit list picks which puppies they want. We also have many people come and meet us at shows when we are in their area. 

Play times-at our house with puppies and adults to meet:
We try to have a play times at our house each month. These are open to anyone on our deposit list or those hoping to get on our deposit list. This is the perfect time to come and meet our adult dogs and any older puppies we currently have. We try to also have some of our co-owns at these times to meet. We can also do private meetings occasionally, but will not be able to get as many dogs to meet for these. 
​
Shows are a great place to meet some of the adult dogs: Details
Call me if you would like to know what dogs we will have at the different shows and would like to meet them in person. We do not usually take litters to shows, but will take a lot of our up and coming dogs in training as well as the dogs competing. 

Prices:
Our puppies are all $1500 for non breeding homes and varies by puppy and contract for breeding homes. We usually only allow 1-2 pick puppies in each litter to go to breeding homes and most of those stay in our breeding program. Prices include Illinois Sales Tax.  The deposit is $500 (cash, check, or Zelle) and the balance is due, in cash, upon pickup.

Current Deposit list:  
Puppy picking begins around 7 weeks old. Only dogs staying in our breeding program and stud picks will be picked before the deposit list. Puppies that are reserved for co-owns and breeders will be labeled as such. Then the deposit list will pick in the order we receive their deposits. On average, we will take 5 deposits per planned litter.  We may get more or less puppies than planned in a litter so the wait does vary a great deal.
We are currently taking deposits for:
Border Collies-Winter 2024
Aussies/Minis-Fall 2024
English Setters-Summer 2024

Picking of the puppies will start around 7 weeks old, starting with our co-owns and then the stud owner. People on the deposit list get the next pick and any left available will be posted to Facebook ASAP. It is easiest if people come and meet the puppies in person before it is time to pick, but we understand that it can be difficult to travel for some owners. We try to have puppy play times between 5-7 weeks old so everyone can play with the puppies in person before picking begins. These are usually on weekends, but some weekends we may not be available. Puppy Play times are posted every week to our Facebook page. I usually know what days we hope to do weeks ahead of time, but will usually plan the time a few days before to accommodate weather. These are great times to come and meet us, the puppies, and the dogs. During picking, we discuss each puppy on the phone and have people pick their puppy over the phone.

Planned Litters for the next year:
Most stud dog choices are up in the air until the girl goes into heat. The timing of breeding does not always allow us to use our first pick of stud dogs. The timing can also postpone a breeding until the next heat, but we do try to keep this up to date.

Lavender-Female
Lavender is the mellowest setter looking for a Pet or Hobby hunting home. She is an easy going girl. She loves everyone she meets. She has learned fairly quickly. She knows sit, kennel, walks on loose leash, recall, and waits for her name to go in and outside.  

Poppy-Female
Poppy is a firecracker of a setter looking for a co-own, sport, or hunting home. She is a complete wild child that is up for anything. She loves everyone she meets. She is a very confident girl, always looking for a new adventure. She has learned very quickly. She knows sit, kennel, walks on loose leash, recall, and waits for her name to go in and outside. She is also already going in off the ramp of the pool, which she did immediately. She has only had one dock diving lesson and went off the ramp like a champ and even considered going off the dock. She loves swimming and is pretty fearless. She loves toys and plays tug. She is a chewer and loves a variety of toys and pretty much all of nature should be carried around

Border X Aussie (Baussies)

Although we do not purposefully cross breed our dogs, accidents do occasionally happen. We have had 2 of these happen in our program.  We also occasionally have outside females breed to our studs for Baussies. We do not keep a deposit list for Baussies unless we have a litter expected. ​

Chinchilla cages and supplies available. This was the cage before we added the levels, shelves, and one more wood house on the top level. There is a smaller carrying/transport cage and a traditional sized cage that is old but we used for outside time and time in the house with us. There are 3 food containers with hay, hay cubes, and chinchilla food. Dust, dust house, wheels, water bottles, toys, chews, food dishes, 2 igloos, and hay feeders are included.
​$200 for cages and all supplies.
