About Molly
Molly is the one around the house who always keeps us on our toes! She is her mother in so many ways; high drive, tons of personality and just the right amount of sass. Molly will play ball for hours, and then come in and cuddle up on the couch (while hoping you’ll share your ice cream with her). She is the epitome of everything a collie should be; happy, intuitive, loyal, and just as happy going for a hike as watching a movie. Molly finished both her CH and GCH very quickly, and has loved getting to play in junior showmanship. For 2021-2022 Molly was a Service Dog to myself, with natural cardiac, migraine and glucose alerts. She loved her job immensely, and has retired to be able to help us welcome the next generation of Suburbia Collies to the world.
