I'm Janice P., the breeder behind Covenant Collies located in Columbus, OH. Health, temperament, and conformation are key for a sound, exceptional dog. Litters here are infrequent but of valued quality. While many of the puppies will be beautiful in the show ring, all will first and foremost be lovely companions, whether it's nap time or time to relax during a cookout.
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.

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 remarkable, flying colors.
Excellent health testing
Dermatomyositis, Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA), +3 more.
Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
Covenant Collies reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Collies.
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
