I'm Syvanna P., the breeder behind Mountain River Collies located in Horseshoe Bend, ID. We are lifelong dog enthusiasts, and we’re excited to share our passion and purpose with others through our breeding program. We are a small enough program that we are able to thoroughly focus on each individual dog and puppy and their needs. We take pride in the time and dedication we give to every litter.
Q. & A. with Syvanna
Why did you start breeding?
My mom bred Newfoundlands when I was young and made me want to follow in her footsteps. After I finalized what breed I wanted to pursue then my mind was made!
What makes your program special?
We have our dogs in our home with us and treat them just like another member of the family. We socialize everyone very well and we also keep it small.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Syvanna was very responsive and seemed very invested in making sure I got the right puppy. She was patient with all of my questions and answered everything with transparency that made it feel like I was not being sold a puppy- I was being matched with my new best friend! The amount of time and love and care that went into my pup absolutely shows.
