Q. & A. with Ruth
Why did you start breeding?
I owned my first collie when I was a child. I bred 2 litters of huskies in my early 20's. In my 30's I aquired my first sheltie and my love for herding dogs began. I loved my shelties, though never bred them. I purchased a well bred collie that I showed and began to delve deeper into the breed. I had my first collie litter 2 years ago and the following year whelped a litter for another breeder.What makes your program special?
Passion for the breed, the love of the animals themselves, my devotion to my pups and my commitment to make sure that my puppies are placed in the best possible homes.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include rough and smooth coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable and white and black white and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
