Kindred Spirit Collies
Meet the breeder
I'm Diedra R., the breeder behind Kindred Spirit Collies located in Callahan, FL. At Kindred Spirit Collie's we follow a socialization plan to ensure each puppy reaches developmentally appropriate milestones. This involves positive reinforcement and exposure to differing stimuli and environments. Our socialization plan includes daily human handling, intro to potty training, car rides, farm animals, cats, other dogs, kennel/crate, and noise exposure. Each puppy is carefully observed to determine whether their individual temperament and personality fits with their potential family. Puppies are vaccinated, de-wormed, and health tested by our veterinarian before leaving for their homes. Dam and Sire have excellent temperaments and are socialized to other dogs, children, cats, farm animals, and various environments.
