Q. & A. with Sarah
Why did you start breeding?
After losing a rescue dog to a heritable disease, I took a deep dive into ethical breeding. I firmly believe that, contrary to popular belief, good breeders keep dogs out of shelters and reduce the demand for puppy mills. After finding collie registries that emphasize temperament, health, and diversifying genetics I wanted to be a part of it and contribute quality dogs to the population.What makes your program special?
Heavy emphasis on early positive exposure and socialization to set your puppy up to be a resilient adult. I'm a big believer in the need for genetic diversity in purebred dog populations and intend to outcross one litter out of every breeding female I keep. I have lots of experience in training exotics and believe collies have completely earned their reputation as amazing family dogs.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our Scottish Collie puppies have rough coats. Collie puppies have rough coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Collie puppies include sable, sable and white, and white. Old Time Scotch Collie puppies include sable, sable and white, and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Road, mom
Scottish Collie
About Road
Around the house Road is cuddly, calm, and watchful. If we get up and go to another room she will follow then lay down straight away in the new space. She will walk or play as long as we let her, but when playtime is up she is done too; she does not obsessively stare at a ball waiting for it to be thrown again like some dogs can. She is fairly quiet. She barks when we run around, at dogs passing the yard, and at people by the house when we are not home. She chases bunnies when off leash but her attention can be redirected easily from bunnies while on a walk. She has caught mice in a field. She matches energy very well: fetch looks very different with our 1 year old than the husband. She has a playful side but is more serious and less goofy than some other collies. She is a very smart girl; you can tell there's a lot going on behind her eyes. She is more interested in people than dogs and responds to correction very well.
