Sun-Rai Collies
Meet the breeder
I'm Malissa S., the breeder behind Sun-Rai Collies located in Manchester, WA. I preserve the best qualities in my breed, while producing health tested, sound in mind, body, and temperament Collies.
Q. & A. with Malissa
Why did you start breeding?
With 6 kids at home, my stepmother also had 4 kids at home, we decided to show dogs so we had a hobby. We would meet weekly for training and enjoyed the time away. Over the years we have enjoyed the time spent with our animals at the shows and during training time.What makes your program special?
I focus on the complete dog. I do appropriate testing for my breed. I want my animals to be sound in body, mind, and temperament. All my babies have always been born in the house and are in the middle of all the activity. I believe that a sound dog as an adult starts with lots of bonding with them as babies. The more time spent with them the better family dogs they will be.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue merle and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
