I'm Debra J., the breeder behind Tairis Collies located in Fort Worth, TX. We breed and show top-quality dogs. Our heavy involvement in the show world speaks to the standards that we breed our dogs by. We breed in order to preserve the wonderful attributes we found in our dogs. Because of our dedication to both the health and quality of the breed, it's our goal to pass these traits down to future generations.
