Meet the breeder

I'm Amanda S., the breeder behind Country Collies located in Wykoff, MN. My dogs are bred with the intent to spread joy. As a former dog groomer I have worked with many dogs. When Morgan, my momma dog, came into my life I never expected what a blessing she has turned out to be. I consider her to be the best dog I have ever owned. She's loyal, loving and exceptionally gentle with my children. When I took her to my mother's care facility her calm demeanor was put on full display as the residents loved looking at "Lassie". She has produced two litters and is a patient and caring mother as well. Whilst she is not exactly in the breed standards, I decided that her personality was worth breeding as she shines like pure gold. So with that in mind I decided to find a daddy dog of good lines so that her puppies could have a better shot of being within the breed standard. MacIntosh, my daddy dog, is such a snuggle bug! He's also a gentle soul who loves to go play with my children and my final collie, Mercy (who is not ready to be a momma yet). He's a proven stud who is also very respectful. So for my babies I do Akc ENS training, exposure to different textures such as carpet, hard floor and different toys. They are also around stairs and new people regularly. Potty training will begin at 4 weeks of age. They will recieve first vet check, shots and dewormer along with puppy baths before going to their forever homes.

Q. & A. with Amanda

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got into breeding because my girl, Morgan, has an exceptional attitude and I want to share that with other families.

  • What makes your program special?

    These puppies are raised up with love and a foundation of exposure so new families can take them in whatever direction they would like to go.

  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies have rough coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include sable, black white and tan, and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
