The Shepherd's Collies

Psalms 50:10 "All animals...are mine."

We would like to introduce you to The Shepherd’s Collies.

We began in 1989 with our first collie, and we were seriously showing in 1996. Since then, our collies have achieved titles in both conformation and obedience.

We started search work with our collies in July 2001, and have bred collies successful in tracking/man-trailing, and cadaver search work. "Why collies," you ask? Well, besides being one of the most beautiful of all canine breeds, the collie is the ultimate canine companion- devoted to the family, sweet-tempered, wonderful with children, intelligent, loyal and truly giving.

Goals

Our goal is to breed a beautiful, structurally sound, "willing" dog, excellent in genetic health.

We would hope that we could produce a dog, that if necessary, would be able to be a healthy working dog: whether as a service dog, therapy dog, herding dog or search and rescue dog.

Health/Genetic Information

Besides the CERF exams, all dogs 2 years and over will have the hips certified by OFA. None of our dogs are thyroid supplemented, and all tested dogs have been Thyroid Normal (MSU).

The notation "N/E" after a dog's name denotes "normal eyes" or free from collie eye anomaly (CEA). "N/C" denotes a "normal-eyed non-carrier".

Eye Checks

All puppies and adults are routinely screened for CEA (Collie Eye Anomaly), PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy), and other ocular disorders by a board certified ophthalmologist. Our breeding collies will be genetically tested for CEA, MDR-1, DM and CN.

Most of our puppies are "normal eyed" (CEA-free) and some may be non-carriers.
