First how old is she? She needs to be about 2 years old.
Have you had all the health tests done? I think one of them is an eye test for collies but you need to research this and to find out all the things that should be tested for. You really need to be sure of her tempermant too.Also are you sure you can sell the puppys as collies are a bit over the top for a lot of people and so many of the end up unwanted
If you still decide to breed off her I would leave it until next seaon so she is settled in her new home
Goodluck

As above to age, health tests, temperament etc.
Also are they KC reg or Sheep dog reg????
Do you have their pedigrees or are they just two collies that you would like to breed???
If you have a 'domestically' bred border that has a gentle temperament and put it to a 'working' bred collie you will still get some pretty hyper pups.
What colours are they?? It's not advised to breed merle to merle unless you know exactly what you're doing.

If you do decide to go ahead, I would wait for the next season just so I could get to know the bitch a little better, I wish you luck in finding homes for border collie pups around May next year.
