Q. & A. with Becky
Why did you start breeding?
When we had children and were looking for the perfect family dog, we stumbled upon Collies. After meeting a few, our search for the right breeder began. In the past, we had bred Australian Cattle Dogs and wanted to breed Collies to produce healthy, consistent dogs for other families, or those seeking service dogs. Collies make exceptional family dogs and service dogs with a long breed history!What makes your program special?
High Altitude Collies works hard to produce exceptional temperaments and fully health tested Collies that are beautiful examples of the breed. We carefully select our breeding dogs, do extensive health testing, and take great care in our breeding practices. We use Early Neurological Stimulation, Puppy Culture, and Avidog. Every puppy we produce is backed for life with lifelong breeder support.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue merle and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
