Collie Health Statement

Preservation of the Collie is the highest priority of a reputable, ethical breeder: Every puppy born should be conceived with this tenet in mind. It is the position of the Collie Health Foundation that no breeding should occur where there exists a known preventable or high risk of producing Collies with severe disabilities or poor quality of life.
