Things keep coming up why Cheetah hasn’t made it to his forever home yet, but he’s more than ready to meet , love and play with his new forever family. His price has been discounted so he can start adapting to his new life with his new people sooner rather than later 🥰

About Royal
Royal is a quirky and very sweet natured gentle giant. Loves to protect the home from Fed Ex trucks and school buses that pass by (or perhaps he’s just saying hi). Doesn’t want much more in life than to play and be pet. Awesome dog daddy who seems to be infatuated with the new members (puppies) to his family.
Adina, mom
Collie
About Adina
Adina has always been a loving and tender little girl, with a lot of spunk and quick reflexes when it comes to catching things from the air (balls, popcorn, flies). I would say what I love most about her is she couldn’t be any more amazing of a mother. She is a dedicated mother to her puppies and their needs, teaching them right from wrong and helping them learn how to conduct themselves as a group. She also has incredible health test results showing normal/clear.
Great health testing
PRA, Rod-Cone Dysplasia 2 (rcd2), Multiple Drug Sensitivity (MDR1).
Parent health testing
Third Gen Collies reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Collies.
Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

Smart dog! Knew his name at 9 1/2 weeks old! Growing like a weed! Dominique was great to work with! She took excellent care of Prince our puppy! We also made a new friend as well!

We had a great experience with Dominique and her family. She was responsive, sent us pictures, and made sure Cowboy was the perfect fit we were looking for to fit our family dynamics. We could not be more pleased with our puppy and all the interactions we have had with Dominique. She really cares about her dogs and the homes they go to. I cannot recommend Third Gen Collies enough!
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
