Decor's Collies
Meet the breeder
I'm Earl R., the breeder behind Decor's Collies located in Saginaw, MI. We offer top-quality Collies with great temperaments, a health guarantee, and eyes checked for CEA. My breeding program focuses on excellent conformation, and I am always careful about breeding to the standard. I only have one litter per year and never breed without planning on keeping a puppy for myself, so puppies are limited but extremely well taken care of. I love my dogs and what I do!
Q. & A. with Earl
Why did you start breeding?
It is my passion to breed these incredible dogs and help ensure the future of the Collie. I regularly participate in conformation shows and started breeding to continue and improve upon my prized line. It is an honor to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same joy that I've found in raising these wonderful dogs.What makes your program special?
I am a proud breeder of Collies and am very careful with each breeding to produce healthy, conformationally correct puppies with great temperaments. My heavy involvement in the show world speaks to the standards that I breed my dogs by. I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
