Woodpecker Farm
Meet the breeder
I'm Tracey W., the breeder behind Woodpecker Farm located in Lynden, WA. At Woodpecker Farm our focus is creating a healthy working dog and companion. We test for all known collie genetic diseases, while also putting an emphasis on genetic diversity. Pups are socialized and suitable for farm work, sports or companions. They make exceptional family farm dogs.
Q. & A. with Tracey
Why did you start breeding?
Entering into breeding isn't something I take lightly. I have a specific goal in mind, which is recreating the all around working collie, while increasing genetic diversity and improving colllie health. The wellfare of the dog is never sacrificed for ribbons; improving the breed for future generations is always a top priority.What makes your program special?
Woodpecker Farm strives to recreate the collie of old, the one with greater genetic diversity and vigor, as well as focusing on a working dog which transitions easily to family pet when not on the job. Dogs of excellent temperament & highly biddable. Working Scottish Collies, sport dogs and family companions.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have rough coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
