Q. & A. with Bonita
Why did you start breeding?
I got collies when our sons were teenagers for a project for them. That was about 30 years ago. When they left home, I took it over. I fell in love with collies when I had one as a child. A lot of my customers say they had a collie growing up. Once you have had a collie, you feel like you can't get along without one!
What makes your program special?
Our program is special because we only have a few dogs and maybe 1 litter a year. So the puppies get a lot of attention and love.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have rough coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable and white and black white and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
