Meet the breeder

I'm Mary L., the breeder behind Mary Linstad's Collies located in Marion County, FL. I offer top-quality Collie puppies for families who share the same love and passion that I do for these lovely companions. My breeding program stands out amongst others because of the personal attention I give to every detail of the journey. I work hard to breed healthy, happy puppies, and I take great pride in my breeding program!

Q. & A. with Mary

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Seeing each of my puppies' families experience the same level of joy that my dogs bring me is an amazing experience! I hope to help families find their puppies from responsible and ethical sources to help build a better and safer world for our dogs.
  • What makes your program special?

    Because my program is small, I am able to give each dog and puppy all of the attention and care that they need to develop and thrive. My dogs are my family, and I give that same love to each puppy as I prepare them to join their forever homes.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
