I'm Mary Lee S., the breeder behind Pleasant Acre Collies located in West Alexander, PA. I produce pups that will continue to excel in their chosen field, whether that be working, showing, or as an active companion. My goal is to produce a great representation of Collies and to continue improving the line with each generation. My passion for this breed is poured into every aspect of my breeding program. I truly love my dogs and what I do.
Q. & A. with Mary Lee
Why did you start breeding?
My love for Collies inspired me to share this amazing breed with the world in a responsible way. It has been an absolute joy of a journey, and I am so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.
What makes your program special?
I am a professional handler of Collies. I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training my pups. My heavy involvement in the show world speaks to the standards that I breed my dogs by. My ultimate goal is to produce athletic and well-structured canines that can excel within various performance venues and have the ability to be the greatest family companions. I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
