+4Richard breeds his collies for temperament, health, and soundness for a good companion so that others can enjoy "the collie experience" as he puts it. I knew from the moment I saw my "Surcee" listed on his breeder's profile that she is my little girl! She is the sweetest and most affectionate and intelligent puppy. She is the greatest blessing ever. I appreciate that Richard was very communicative with me and cooperative about meeting me halfway to pick her up. I can tell he gave Surcee a lot of socialization and love before she became my baby. She is beautiful and I will cherish her. I highly recommend Richard from Collie farm to those who want a loyal friend and the classic sweet temperament of the gentle collie breed. You can never go wrong with a collie. They are the best family dogs and follow you around everywhere you go, loyal and true.
