I'm Sandra S., the breeder behind Crosswind Collies located in Winston Salem, NC. My goal is to produce a great representation of the Collie and to continue improving the line with each generation. I breed for health, temperament, conformation. I devote my time, energy, and attention to each litter to ensure puppies get the best start in life. I take pride in what I do and am excited to introduce your family to your next Collie puppy!
Q. & A. with Sandra
Why did you start breeding?
I regularly participate in conformation shows and started breeding to continue and improve upon my incredible Collie line. I am very proud to be breeding these incredible dogs. It is important to me that I am breeding versatile, well-rounded, socialized, and healthy pups for my buyers to welcome into their homes and hearts.What makes your program special?
I am very dedicated to what I do and what I am trying to achieve as a breeder. I work with passion, heart, and integrity, and I truly want what's best for the Collie line. I love these dogs and always want the very best for my puppies and their forever families. I am learning constantly from colleagues and mentors. Health testing and DNA testing my dogs is an important part of my breeding program to ensure the health of generations to come.Where do your breeding dogs live?
