Meet the breeder
I'm Russell D., the breeder behind Juell Collies located in Shawnee County, KS. We're preservation breeders dedicated to preserving purebred Collies. Our breeding program emphasizes health, temperament, and elegance verified with DNA, optical testing, and very selective breeding. We are devoted to sustaining the purposely bred purebred Collie as defined by the Collie Club of America Standards and Ethics.
Q. & A. with Russell
Why did you start breeding?
We got into Collies because of their family-friendly temperament. Our initial Collies were purchased as pets. After much consideration and discussion with other breeders in our area, we decided to establish a kennel. This eventually led us to build a new house, dedicated kennel, and grooming building.What makes your program special?
While we have had success in the show ring, what sets us apart from other kennels is our attention to detail in raising our puppies. We whelp and raise our puppies in our house. This allows us to keep a constant watch on the litter as they develop. We are able to understand the different temperaments of each puppy which significantly helps in placing the right puppy in the right home. Our weaning and potty training program helps the puppies develop the desire to have a play/sleep area and a potty area. Our puppies go to new homes with the training they need to adapt to their new home.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.
