Meet the breeder

I'm Dannon S., the breeder behind Kaslynkay's Collies located in Lancaster, CA. Our dogs are bred for health and temperament. Our focus is on structure and intelligence. With more than 20 years of experience and the help of long-time collie breeders and mentors, we continue to improve with each new generation. Our Collies do everything from herding to service work and more.

Q. & A. with Dannon

  • Why did you start breeding?

    With the help and guidance from my mentors, several respectable Collie breeders with more than 60 years of experience. They guided me in the proper direction. Like selecting the right stud dogs and doing the proper testing to prevent or eliminate hereditary diseases. They taught me so much. I breed when I am looking to keep something for myself. I make an effort to better the Collie breed.
  • What makes your program special?

    Unlike those out to breed for a profit, I breed to better the Collie breed as a whole. My goal is to develop a line of Collies that are not only beautiful but are functional. I strive to eliminate the incidence of disease in the breed. We also are proud to say we have produced several service and therapy dogs in our effort to better the Collie. We breed both rough and smooth Collies.
  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies include smooth and rough coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include sable, sable merle, black white and tan, blue merle, and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Dannon was wonderful to communicate with and made the process very easy. She matched the personal of the puppy to what I was hoping for perfectly. I named him Lachlan, and he has been absolutely perfect. He has been so healthy, and I love how up-front and how much information Dannon had for me about his his health and testing. If I ever decide to add to the family I’ll get in contact with her again!
