Our experience has been great...
From the day we picked up our lovely Collie to now that he is 1 year old, our experience has been great. Daylie and family give a lot of attention and love to their dogs and the dogs grow up in a beautiful farm setting. I think this combination is the perfect recipe for the beautiful and healthy pup that we received.

Kelly with "Finnegan" Begin Again (formerly Addison- DOB:1/16/22)

 Everything about the process of getting Finnegan was so easy.
I was lucky enough to bring Finnegan (formerly Addison) home. Finnegan is settling in nicely. He is very intelligent, so sweet, and a little stubborn, which is all part of being a Collie. I will be signing us up for obedience classes because I think he and I will both benefit from it. He's really good with his puppy dog eyes!! Everything about the process of getting Finnegan was so easy. Daylie was great about communicating with me about the process and answering any questions or concerns that I might have about Finnegan or his parents. After a bad experience with the breeder for my parents' first Collie, it was nice to work with someone who truly cares about their dogs.
In the future if I get another Collie, Shepherd Pals will be the first people that I contact.

Thank you, Shepherd Pals, for our sweet Collie. We love her!
Ailsa, a collie from the second litter, has become a part of our family. She is so smart! We have had her since she was 8 weeks old and she was easily housebroken in no time. She is now 4 months old, and I just received the nicest compliment from a dog trainer who is teaching her puppy level one class: he said the breeders did a really nice job as she is so friendly and plays so well with the other puppies in the class. She is a sweetie! She is now learning to sit, she is learning the word down, and she knows the word yes for all the right things she does. She is my smart sweetie and I am so proud of her and so happy we found her! Thank you shepherd pals for our sweet Collie. We love her!

'Spanitolinees' pup "Wally" (formerly Cinco)

 Another great experience orchestrated by the Moore Family. Every step of the process was seamless.
Hello Dobson and Moore Family! 
Wallace, formally Cinco, is our 2nd addition from this wonderful family. Prior to Wally we had obtained a female full Spanish Mastiff, Olivia, who is a step sibling to Wally; both were sired by the handsome Luis. Wallace is doing extremely well fitting into our lives. He remains curious of the cats and rabbit, although giving them their space, and is nonplussed by chickens and the horses. He enjoys his days "patrolling" our fence line but does like to cuddle up in his bed for nap time. Wallace is quickly learning vocal and hand commands.
​Many thanks to the Moore Family for their dedication to raising such healthy, happy, and well adjusted animals. God Bless!

We truly could not have asked for a better addition to our family...
Piper has been absolutely wonderful! She fit in so well from day 1, we couldn't have asked for a better puppy!  She is so sweet and attentive to us, but also has such a funny and playful personality. She has become quite a hit in our neighborhood, and with every person and dog she meets! She absolutely adores children as well. We truly could not have asked for a better addition to our family!

My whole camera roll is a Piper highlight reel now...enjoy a few of my latest favorites! 
Thank you SO much!

Thank you for giving us back our smiles... 
How nice to hear from you! Jack is getting big and getting into everything. He is exploring his farm and excited to move his sheep. He is not afraid of them or the horses. He seems to be very smart and training is going well. All my friends love Jack and say how cute and smart he is. I will send anyone that asks where we got him your way.
We love him and will send pictures as he grows up. Please feel free to use us as a reference.

She has been a great addition to our  household...
   Dyna is a wonderful character to have around the house. She is very playful and excitable. Every now and then, she throws her own version of a temper tantrum that of course comes with her puppy adolescence. She was harder to train at times due to the fact that she does have such a big personality and she likes to try things out her own way first. Nevertheless, she has been a great addition to our now growing household. She is protective and loving when it comes to our little family. She loves children and to be outdoors whether that's with Waylon on the farm or just at home in our back yard.  She loves to play fetch and when she's all tuckered out, she likes to snuggle up on the couch with us at the end of an exciting day. Our only wish was that she could wash dishes and clean our house while we worked!"

We are just in awe...
We truly couldn’t have imagined what our home would have been missing if we stuck to only adopting Grace! They (Grace and Emma) are great babysitters on walks!  They circle around the kids together to bring them back closer to us and then prance in confidence that they did their job. 
Emma is going to make a wonderful show dog! Grace is just SO laid back and all about the kids. We were considering doing a therapy dog with her. She would do so so well in that environment, once we can go volunteer at the children’s hospital for her to visit them.
They are absolutely adapted to our home, kids and Gidget and Fish (other dogs) so impeccably well. 
How caring and well you all are with breeding them (Rough Collies) with such wonderful, healthy genes!  We are just in awe at how well you’ve taken care of them before we got them, and how you keep up-to-date with them. We wish all breeders took the time to handle with as much care, love, informed decision, and knowledge as you all have done. We have such high standards for the next breeder when we start looking at males to potentially breed with Emma or Grace!

Our hearts are so filled!
It is going GREAT!!! She is so precious and such a ham! She has made herself right at home and the dogs have welcomed her right into the pack! Plus, I have the best company on the spare bed in my home office! I can’t complain working from home with these faces hanging out next to me! She is doing great with her “potty” training and she has slept through the night every night. She is still learning her name but is starting to look at us when we call her by Ophelia. We have mastered the sit command and have now moved onto paw/shake. She is just a dream come true and I don’t think a day has gone by where both of us look at each other and say, "this was fate" or that she was born and meant to be with us in our family. We are in absolute love with her and I think the photo library on our phones goes to show that. We have probably take over a thousand pictures or videos over the last 4 days between Kelly and myself!
 
We are so grateful for you and your family and making this dream come true! Thank you sooo much again! Can’t wait to share more pictures as she grows up. 
Thank you again. Our hearts are so filled!"

  Ruthie is beautiful, amazing, smart and so healthy! 
We are very thrilled to have found Ruthie. We have been looking for a beautiful Sable & White purebred Collie for some time now.  Ruthie is beautiful, amazing, smart and so healthy!  She has adapted to her new family and her new furry friends and is doing great!  We have a nice big family and everyone loves her! I also appreciate how helpful you have been to answer my many questions. 
Thank you again!!"

 "I was looking for a Collie for about 2 months.  Came across Shepherd Pals and found her.  Just what I had been looking for. I looked at the site and all the information on their page. I found it to be great for a new dog owner. I looked for the parents' genetic health so I would have a healthy puppy.  I saw Ellen, now "Gracie", and had to have her. She is so pretty to me and quick to learn things. The Moore Family was great to work with - always answered my e-mails in a timely manner.
  I got Ellen home and we named her "Gracie Lasey Gal" - "Gal" after her pretty mom.  She is 10 weeks old now and she is potty trained already.  She will go to the door to go outside to potty.  She is so cute playing with our other little dogs. She loves everyone she meets.
'Thank you' to the Moore Family for raising healthy & happy pups at Shepherd Pals!
We will be sending people your way. 
I just love her."
