A little about our Collies...
We have 2 very special Rough Collies; a male and a female named Flippy and Lassie. They are our dear yards pets, as well as livestock shepherds. We hope to get a litter of Collies from time to time. See our about page to hear the sweet story of how we got started raising this lovable breed. WE HOPE TO HAVE MORE COLLIE PUPS AVAILABLE IN MID-WINTER OR EARLY-SUMMER! IF INTERESTED IN RESERVING AN UPCOMING PUPPY, HEAD OVER TO OUR 'RESERVATIONS LIST' TAB! Individual pictures and details about our pair and their genetic health testing below! |

Flippy's My Pal
- our Collie male -
Flippy has a lovable personality. He is a puppy-at-heart, and loves to play tug-of-war. He will pick up one of his many toys strewn throughout the yard, and look at you with a pleading expression in his dark brown eyes that's hard to resist! He gets so excited when we have visitors on the farm, and can be counted on as the first to greet them in the driveway. His favorite visitors are little people. He follows our littles around everywhere, and tries to practice his herding instincts on them!
Flippy has very good conformation for his breed, with a fairly big build. He is 65 pounds, and still may fill out some as he continues to mature. Flippy's pedigree includes several of the well-bred and well-known Van-M Collies.
Enjoy his pictures in the slideshow below!

Lassie's My Gal
- our Collie female -
Miss Lassie has a regal, reserved, and gentle temperament. She holds the expression of smartness in her eyes, and seems to know human language. She has a tender and trainable heart. Even as a puppy, she was calm and 'wise beyond her years'. While she is affectionate and gentle to her people, she's also wary of strangers and eager to let us know when we have visitors. But, she always warms up quickly, and becomes a very favorite here on the farm!
Lassie has a more slight and athletic build, as is common for female Collies. She also weighs around 65 pounds.
