Our ethics are every dog life matters. We aim for a happy content dog, every dog deserves to be physically and mentally balanced. After many years experience with Boarding Dogs and 30 years of living with Rough Collies, our love grew deeper and deeper for this beautiful breed.
During that time we were waiting for science and testing to become a method breeders would use to avoid producing mutations of genes in their dogs.
We were blessed to buy our latest dogs from breeders who have sought the eradication of mutation and work toward breeding for the future generations. Due to our experience with dogs and the Collie in particular, we decided to bring these puppies to South West UK.
We encourage all new owners to tell of their lifestyle and what they could offer one of our puppies, time, energy, commitment, affordability.
We commit to our puppies new owners for all of their puppies lives, every parent is DNA tested, so we know that our puppies will be fit and well.
Along with our full commitment to each individual babies, we bring them up interacting with them from day 1 our their lives, all interaction is age appropriate, so that once they are ready to leave, they will be ready to join any household and become a valued family member.
They all are veterinary checked, microchipped, socialised, registered with Kennel Club, wormed and although we prefer you to get the vaccinated if they are leaving at 8weeks, they have to stay here until they are 10 weeks if we vaccinate. due to the type of vaccinations we wish to have administered.
Supplied with every puppies is their full history, along with 38 page personal brochure personalised to each puppy. it's pedigree along with a agreed, signed, contract.

NEUTERING.
Rough Collies do not really do well as neutered animal, so the very least we can ask of you is to ensure that your Collie is over 3 years old as Rough Collies do not mature fast, they are slow growers. In the meantime we will give you vital links and information. So that you may make an informed decision what to do for your by then dog and plan for the future.
