Animal Planet filmed our beautiful and talented Collies at Quaker Farm for a show on the Discovery Network called DOGS 101.
See photo essay.
In partnership with Crown Thistle Collies, and in accordance with the policies as disclosed on the Crown
Thistle Collie web site, we raise AKC registered, standard rough
Collie dogs and
occasionally have Rough
Collie puppies for sale.
Our bloodlines feature stable minded, high quality and Championship European and American dogs.
Selectively bred for temperament for many,
many generations, our dogs are unique for their easy, willing temperaments, high intelligence,
and our pups are at least 50% European. We feel that
genetic diversity
has a profoundly positive impact on the health of Collies and is
therefore a very important
part of
our normal eyed
breeding program. Quaker Farm Collies are remarkably
beautiful, classically stylish, easy to train, not prone to roaming and remarkably
intelligent.
Our breeding program serves to preserve our carefully developed bloodlines
of highly intelligent, trainable Collie dogs - with exquisite rough coats, providing us with the next
generation of working and companion Collies.
Thus, we only have a limited number of pups available
each year which
provides a unique opportunity to families looking for a very special Collie dog.
Our pups have had their shots,
have been dewormed, socialized and their
training started.
Quaker Farm Collies are exceptional working dogs and make wonderful family
companions as well.
People often ask us if a Collie is a good breed of dog with children.
We feel
that a well bred Collie from a reputable breeder
is a great dog for children.
The type of
Collie dogs
we breed here at Quaker Farm
have outstanding temperaments
and are very devoted to their families
without being overly protective or territorial. Our Collie pups and adult dogs get along
extremely well with
other dogs and we raise them to be very, very social. We also start training the pups
before they go home to their forever families.
Our Collies are calm and gentle and sold as
indoor dogs only.
Many of our Collies are placed as working companions or emotional support dogs
and due to their calm, focused and intelligent nature,
Quaker Farm Collies are also very popular and work extremely well as reading dogs for
children.
If you would like a faithful family friend with the classic charm and loyalty of the legendary Lassie,
contact Quaker Farm
for information about the Collie puppies we may have for sale.
Our prices are reasonable.
Our puppies
are sold to carefully screened homes only - we want to make sure all puppies are placed
with wonderful families.
Please note: We do not
artificially alter the looks of our
Collie puppies in any way.
We prefer to offer our puppies the comfort of their natural
appearance. Therefore, our pups ears are
either naturally tipped or naturally pricked, we never brace or
glue their ears for cosmetic purposes.
We enjoy their natural look,
and we think the puppies like it best too!
