Parent dogs
Tempest, mom
Collie
About Tempest
Tempest represents 17 generations of Gambit Collies. She was selected as the dam of this litter because, she passed all DNA testing, extremely good temperaments and a classic beauty. This is Tempest’s second litter and proving to be just as good of mom as she was last time. Her previous litter is now two years of age and has many successful lives as show dogs and companions with their new families. I believe our dedication to the collie and the careful breeding we do here is to promote and protect this wonderful breed of dog. With our over 40 years of experience with this breed we make every litter about the quality and preservation of the collie.
