Our Collies are bred to do it all! They excel in the breed room ring, performance, pet therapy, service dogs, companion/pet dogs, and cuddle bugs.

Q. & A. with Caryln
Why did you start breeding?
It is important to me that I not only continue my own phenomenal bloodlines, but that I am improving this breed with each litter and ensuring the well-being of these dogs for generations more to come! It is such an honor to preserve the line of these incredible dogs all the while creating companionship for others.What makes your program special?
I am a premier breeder of Collies. I do not produce a litter unless the breeding dogs have passed all of the necessary health clearances and have excellent structure that adheres to the standard. I have exceptional bloodlines that I am very familiar with, and they tie back all the way to where they started. I also place a special focus on temperament and ability in my dogs. It would be my pleasure to introduce your family to your next Collie!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
