Meet Smith's Lowcountry Canines
My name is Natalie, and I am a dog breeder based in Charleston, South Carolina. I currently work with Border Collies and Australian Shepherds. My program is built on a goal of long-term health, with the means of producing well-balanced dogs that thrive as both loyal companions and capable working partners.
I focus on responsible, health-focused breeding practices using AKC-registered or purebred lineage, with all breeding dogs undergoing appropriate health testing. My dogs are raised in a structured, hands-on environment with daily care, training, and enrichment that helps build confidence, stability, and strong real-world manners.
From an early age, puppies are thoroughly socialized to other dogs, cats, grooming, handling, household routines, environmental sounds, and new experiences, so then they grow into adaptable, confident, and well-prepared companions.
I’m also supported by two team members who help maintain a clean, safe, and well-managed environment, ensuring every dog receives consistent care, attention, exercise, and training throughout the day.

Border Collie
Male · 20in · 2 years
Meet Rivian (River), a handsome black and white purebred Border Collie and an important part of my breeding program. While he carries the classic Border Collie coloring, his markings are uniquely his own, featuring a distinctive ear pattern and facial markings that flow beautifully into the white around his neck, giving him a striking and memorable appearance.
River has an exceptional build with the perfect balance of fitness, muscle, and athletic structure. His naturally floppy ears add even more charm and character, making him stand out in the best way. His beautiful brown eyes are warm, intelligent, and incredibly sweet, the kind of expression that instantly draws people in.
Temperament is one of River’s greatest qualities. He is confident, affectionate, intelligent, and full of personality. He has strong natural herding instincts while also having the calm, loving nature that makes an outstanding companion dog. This balance gives him a well-rounded temperament that is both driven and easygoing.
River is fully up to date on vaccinations and has been extremely well cared for. His mother was registered with both the ABCA and AKC, and his father comes from purebred Border Collie lineage, resulting in a purebred Border Collie with excellent structure, strong instincts, and a sound temperament.
River represents the qualities I value most in my breeding program: intelligence, athleticism, confidence, natural instinct, and a loyal, people-oriented temperament.
