    Sarah was very communicative during our adoption. She answered all of our questions and sent lots of updates and photos. We could not be happier with the newest addition to our family, Lottie🩷

    I lost my collie of 12 years about two months ago. I have always had collies and sheltie’s. I had recently moved to Florida and I was not familiar with any breeders that bred collie puppies. So I joined Good Dog and I found a couple options. I had an initial conversation with Sarah about their new litter. I was uncertain at the time to get another collie given that my collie had recently passed. But after getting some information about the new litter and the fact that the mama looks like the collie that I had; I decided to give it some more thought. I had a visit with Sarah and the puppies a few weeks back, and they looked very healthy, happy and adorable. I have a blue merle sheltie and I really was wanting a little bit of a merle collie. So it worked out that I ended up getting one of the girl puppies that was the sable and white Merle. It was a very easy drive to Tallahassee from Winter Garden to pick her up. She had all of her vaccines, a bath and she’s just a beautiful puppy. She is a very good puppy and I can tell that she was trained a little bit before I picked her up. She is going to love to grow up with my sheltie. Thank you so much Sarah for accommodating my schedule and helping me pick out the perfect puppy.!

    We drove to meet Sarah and her husband from Indiana to pick up our Lema. She has gotten along well with all of our existing cats and dogs and is fitting right into the family, if you are considering a Collie puppy I would certainly recommend going through Sarah!

    Sarah was very nice and easy to work with. I was impressed that she had her parents DNA tested for eye problems. Also, both my vet and I were impressed that the vet Sarah uses gave all of the appropriate shots and at the correct times also. The puppy is really sweet and we are working on potty training, he seems receptive to it!

Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
