Skye Goode
Meet the breeder
I'm Skye G., the breeder behind Skye Goode located in Neillsville, WI. I am not a breeder of show quality, competition winners, or registered pedigrees. I look forward to breeding the perfect "pet quality" dog for any loving family who longs for a Collie. I still conduct the appropriate genetic testings so that I am ethically breeding to better the breed.
Q. & A. with Skye
Why did you start breeding?
As I became an adult and looked for pet quality collies for myself, I realized just how rare good Collie breeders are in my area. In fact, my state and the surrounding states may only have one, maybe two, good ethical breeders. My state is also one of the biggest puppy mill/backyard breeding states in the nation, so it was even more important that I do my part in stopping Collie puppy mills.What makes your program special?
I own a "hobby farm" and we are a hunting/trapping family, therefore my Collies are exposed to SO many experiences before they even leave my home, including goats, chickens, cat, bunnies, foxes, children, guns, water, and so much more.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
Getting a puppy from Skye
Skye has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.
Together, you’ll choose the puppy that’s right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Price
“Prices would depend on the color and sex of the puppy. Price includes a microchip. I also strongly request a spay/neuter contract and will refund $100 to anyone who provides the proof from the vet. After puppies are born, a deposit for $100-$200 can be placed to reserve a pup. I do not accept deposits prior to a litter being born.”
Contract & health guarantee
Skye may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Skye offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Skye directly.

Parent dogs
Annie, mom
Collie
About Annie
Annie is the exact opposite of Marbles in terms of personality. She is quiet, shy, and introverted. Her ideal activity is to sleep on the couch. She’s an old soul and doesn’t even know how to catch a ball, because she spends all her time standing by your side watching everyone else play. She’s extremely loving and gravitates towards children wherever she goes, even stranger children she’s never met. She loves all animals including cats and chickens. She’s a glutton and would eat herself silly if I let her. She sheds her coat once a year as well but usually in early summer.
Marbles, dad
Collie
About Marbles
Very energetic, smart, outgoing, social, extroverted personality. Easily potty trained and obedience trained. Eats like a bird. Absolutely no allergies or ailments. Sheds coat once in springtime. Literally great with every creature from kids to kittens to baby chicks and bunnies.
