Meet the breeder
I'm Mary Lee O., the breeder behind SHOWBOAT COLLIES located in Bush (North Of New Orleans), LA. I believe that if you commit to producing dogs of sound structure and take care of their minds and bodies, your pups will grow up to be happy, healthy, and beautiful. I am proud to raise these wonderful dogs and always commit to maintaining the highest quality standards for my program.
Q. & A. with Mary Lee
Why did you start breeding?
I am purposeful in everything I do regarding my dogs, including careful selection of breeding dogs and extensive health testing. My goal is to produce healthy dogs with great temperaments, working drives, and conformation that are exemplary representations of the breed.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. I will always stand behind my puppies.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
