About R3's Son Of The Silent Killer aka "Archer"
Born January 1, 2026, R3’s Son Of The Silent Killer “Archer” is a promising young Border Collie with a wonderful combination of intelligence, temperament, athleticism, and natural charm. Archer is AKC POA and AKC Champion pointed and is currently working toward completing his AKC Championship. He has earned his CGC and VHM titles and is continuing to develop his skills in trick dog and rally, where he is already showing promise.
Archer is exceptionally smart, sweet, and eager to please, with a willing, fun, and outgoing temperament. He brings a lively, enjoyable energy to everything he does while maintaining the kind of biddable and personable character we value in our Border Collies. His enthusiasm for learning and willingness to engage with his handler make him a joy to train and work with.
Archer also has a natural love for dock diving and is already showing impressive athletic ability, confidently jumping distance. He will begin competing in dock diving in summer 2027, adding another performance venue to his growing list of activities. His enthusiasm for the sport, combined with his athleticism and willingness to work, makes dock diving a natural fit for him.
Archer has been DNA tested through Optimal Selection and is clear of all tested genetic conditions. He carries Tri, chocolate, and dilute. His OFA Prelims and PennHIP evaluations have been completed, with his preliminary hip evaluation rated Good. His PennHIP Distraction Index measurements are 0.36 on the right and 0.31 on the left, with no evidence of osteoarthritis (OA), placing both measurements below the reported breed average of 0.46.

As a young dog, Archer is continuing to build his experience and work toward additional titles as his skills develop. We are excited to watch him mature both in and out of the show ring and look forward to seeing his potential unfold across conformation and performance activities. His combination of intelligence, sweet and outgoing temperament, trainability, athleticism, and fun-loving energy makes Archer a promising young male and an exciting part of our breeding program.
