The Collective
Meet the breeder
I'm Karlie P., the breeder behind The Collective located in Plato, MO. Our dogs are our family members, and we want to make sure that our puppies are yours as well. We test for all genetic and health issues connected to the breed and make sure that all our puppies are interacted with from birth. The most important goal is bringing a healthy member into your family.
Q. & A. with Karlie
Why did you start breeding?
Just by doing lots of research and making sure I understood all the risks involved. Knowing that there are so many bad breeders out there, I wanted to make sure I was providing good quality dogs back into the community.What makes your program special?
Our family includes our dogs in our everyday life, to include all puppies. We make sure they are introduced to children, cats, other dogs, baths, nail clippings and of course playtime!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
