What makes your program special?
Puppies are raised on a curriculum centered around each developmental period a puppy goes through to empower them to achieve their fullest physical and mental potential.
Puppy evaluations are performed to determine the best placement for each puppy to ensure our clients get the dogs they want and our puppies receive the families they deserve.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have rough coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Our Moana Litter is setting sail! This may look like just fun and games, but there’s actually a real advantage to working our puppies on this boogie board in water: this exercise promotes body awareness, activates the vestibular system (helping with motion sickness), and building resilience to stress. These puppies will be able to use what they’ve learned here and apply it to many other aspects of their life like car rides, unstable/slippery surfaces, new environments, etc. We believe in preparing our puppies for the real world by building their confidence and stress tolerance through activities such as this.

More fun in the water today along with the ball pit and the tunnel. Hei Hei didn’t appear to like the octopus spinning so went right up to it and put his paw down to stop it😂 Te Fiti was on the sidelines at one point with her front paws crossed, silently judging the rest of her siblings😅 This group is certainly entertaining to watch, and they are so smart and confident already!

Hannah is amazing! She provided a ton of info on the pups to help me find my perfect match. Very organized and professional. I'm going to go back to her for my next pup. Love the family reunions! So much fun seeing them all play ❤️ 100% recommend! Bruce Willis and I are such a great match and we have so much fun together. Love my sweet, smart, beautiful pup 😘

I was not actively searching for a collie puppy when I came across the Saltwater Collie Facebook page and website. After reading about Hannah and her attention to detail with her dogs, I was so impressed! I connected with Hannah and placed a puppy deposit soon after! Hannah took extra steps to socialize and work with the entire litter from day 1. She is an advocate for physical and emotional puppy wellness! I wound up purchasing 2 puppies, and they are absolutely fantastic!! I can’t recommend Saltwater Collies for anyone looking for a collie puppy!!!

Owning a puppy from Hannah has been an absolutely wonderful experience. This is our first collie, and Hannah did an incredible job matching us with the perfect dog. From the moment we brought Castiel home, it was clear he was everything we hoped for—loving, loyal, and full of energy. Hannah has kept in touch throughout Castiel’s life, always available for guidance and support. Her dedication and passion for her dogs shine through in everything she does, and I know she'll be there for us for many years to come. For anyone considering a collie, I can't recommend Hannah enough. Her dogs are not only well-bred with terrific, health-tested parents, but they also possess a fantastic work ethic that makes them exceptional companions.

If you’re looking for a well bred, healthy, socialized and adorable Collie look no further! Hannah is so thorough, communicative and transparent about every aspect of her breeding program. I’ve worked in vet med for 10 years and it’s so refreshing to see a breeder who is this knowledgeable and caring. We absolutely love our spunky little girl Dolly and will absolutely be coming back for more!
