lassie
Lassie is our dam. She's a 55LB white-factored sable, who's gentle, obedient, and smart. She loves kids and has no problem getting along with cats and other dogs.
Lassie is a fantastic mother to her pups and even tries to care for the hooman babies in the household. When a baby cries, she's right there to make sure everything is okay.
Christian
Christian, a 70LB tri-factored, white-factored sable is our sire. He's happy, energetic, loyal, and is sure he's always the first to greet the package man. He almost never leaves his post on the front porch unless it's to escort one of his hoomans on their walk.

About us
we are a small, low-quantity breeder located in Arley, Alabama.
We have had 17+ years of experience owning this beautiful breed in our family and counting.
"The majestic Collie, thanks to a hundred years as a pop-culture star, is among the world's most recognizable and beloved dog breeds. The full-coated 'rough' Collie is the more familiar variety, but there is also a sleek 'smooth' Collie. The Collie is a large but lithe herder standing anywhere from 22 to 26 inches tall. The rough variety boasts one of the canine kingdom's most impressively showy coats; the smooth coat's charms are subtler but no less satisfying. Coat colors in both varieties are sable and white, tricolor, blue merle, or white. Collie fanciers take pride in their breed's elegant wedge-shaped head, whose mobile ears and almond eyes convey a wide variety of expressions. Collies are famously fond of children and make wonderful family pets. These swift, athletic dogs thrive on companionship and regular exercise. With gentle training, they learn happily and rapidly. The Collie's loyalty, intelligence, and sterling character are the stuff of legend."

Our puppies are raised in a homestead environment and are accustomed to a variety of sounds, smells, people, and animals throughout the 8-9 weeks they are with us. After a deposit has been placed, if requested by the owner, we can begin introducing a requested animal or a new activity that will help the pup better acclimate to their new home. We do our best to prepare these little puppers for whatever lies ahead.
In the event that an owner becomes incapable of providing a home for one of our pups, we encourage them to return the pup to us instead of giving said pup to somewhere like a shelter.
No refund will be issued in this case.
At pickup, our dogs come with an AKC puppy registration kit, and a days supply of food.
They also come with full AKC registration as standard. Without this, any offspring produced by the pup later in life will not be eligible for AKC registration.
Before they go to their new homes they will receive a vet examination for general health, a dose of dewormer once at 5 weeks and once at 8 weeks, and they will also receive their first round of vaccinations.
The re-homing fee for our puppers is one deposit of $100 to reserve a pup, and an additional $550-$700 at pickup for a total of $650-$800
