Meet the breeder
I'm Janice P., the breeder behind Covenant Collies located in Manhattan, KS. Raised by a veterinarian using varied, current methods supported by positive results. Health, temperament, and conformation are key to an exceptional dog. While many of our puppies will be beautiful in the show and performance venues, all are raised to be well-rounded, confident companions.
Q. & A. with Janice
Why did you start breeding?
My journey in Collies is the best I have had. I got my first Collie (Dally) from a local show breeder and quickly fell devoted to the breed. As we showed, many breeders' and long-time judges' input reinforced that Dally should be my foundation girl. As there is always room for improvement, I will forever dedicate myself to learning and contributing to the beautiful qualities of the Collie breed.What makes your program special?
Aside from my career as a veterinarian, I spent years garnering input from people of old vs. new philosophies, joining breed clubs, and carefully studying breed standards. Kennel blindness is dangerous, and I prioritize open-mindedness. I seek to improve the whole package, not just the characteristic Collie headpiece, and raise puppies using Puppy Culture, ENS, and Volhard temperament evaluations.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 black white and tan, sable, and sable and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

“Each puppy is evaluated by 3 individuals, at minimum. I place each puppy with great selectivity by considering your goals, conformation (for shows), temperament evaluations, biddability/drive, among other variables. Depending on which puppies are available (I can’t 100% predict what nature brings), I will do my best to match you with a puppy based on your goals and hopes for your dog.”

Parent dogs
Kipper, dad
Collie
About Kipper
Kip is our young hopeful that exudes boldness, intelligence, and joy. He embodies multiple virtues: effortless stride, generous angulation, muzzle fill, and a clean headpiece. Kipper earned multiple AKC Best Puppy in Shows, Best Bred-By Puppy in Show, and Herding Group 1 in a huge regional UKC show by 8 months of age, on top of earning other titles! He will continue his AKC, UKC, and IABCA debuts throughout 2026. I hope to pursue Therapy Dog certification with him. **He is still maturing and being titled at this time, so he will not be bred until all titling and health testing is complete!

Dally, mom
Collie
About Dally
Dally finished her AKC Championship at 23 months old. She is the most incredible dog I have had the pleasure of loving. She embodies pristine head qualities, beautiful eye, rich pigment, and solid rear assembly for the breed. Dally is known as the happiest girl in the show ring and is always smiling. She is amicable and easy-going; I embrace her mature, independent mindset that makes her the ideal companion. She is a gentle soul and adores other dogs. Dally passed all breed-required OFA health tests with extremely remarkable, flying colors.
