We are a small hobby farm in northern Wisconsin.
We have raised Collies for the past 15 years. We have come to know these calm, beautiful dogs for what they truly can be. They are smart, quick learners, obedient companions, protective guard dogs, and show dogs. They have the herding instinct in them, and they need room to exercise. These favorite old-time, long-haired friends are very loving and caring. You may hear them called Rough Collies, Classic Collies, Bearded Collies, and Lassie Collies. We have both AKC and CKC registered, and we can honestly say that ours are equal in quality.
We have a large family with a Down Syndrome son who has always loved dogs. He was a big part of our decision to really go into this and he is a very dedicated young man in walking them daily. From birth up to the time each pup leaves, he gives them all he’s got and they love him back.
Some time ago we got home from a little trip and as we got out of the car the dogs were barking their welcome, and he says, “Yeah, that’s right dogs…Your Master’s back.” He is now 22 years old and still walks them daily even in the winter if it’s not too icy. I often have to stop and watch him walking one when I am outside as he likes to train them to stop and sit while he walks backwards for quite a ways before he gives the command to come, and its so fun to watch as the dog obeys and gets the excited hug and praise when it gets to him. He does awesome mowing the lawn with our zero turn mower…, and he now has a Gator to drive around the place and loves it.
We welcome anyone who wants to come out and see our place if you are interested in a puppy. It’s always fun to visit those who know (or want to know) the joy of owning a Collie.
