Litter Plans & Fundamentals

Upcoming Litters

Our next litter is planned for 2027! Please submit an application (below) or under the Application/Inquiry page, as our waitlist may extend to a year out.

AKC Championships/Grand Championships, additional titles, complete health clearances, confident temperaments, and breed correctness are ensured for this pairing.

Foundations, Evaluations, & Training

All puppies in every litter will be:

  • Raised using Puppy Culture, Avidog (ENS, ESI), and more foundational exposures
  • Evaluated using the Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test and Service Dog prospect tests*
  • Transitioned early to crate and potty training
  • Extensively socialized with new people, sights, and sounds
  • Exposed to routine grooming (nails, brushing, baths/dryers)
  • Handled individually and daily
  • Examined by a boarded ophthalmologist (eye checks)
  • Microchipped
  • Provided age-appropriate veterinary care
  • AKC registered

*Please respect that we have set expectations and requirements to qualify for a service dog prospect in order to advocate for the welfare of our dogs.

Covenant’s Promise

As a veterinarian, scientist, and ethicist, I follow evidence-based practices that bring consistent, positive outcomes. Our puppies are raised for discerning owners seeking healthy, delightful puppies that are best set up for success.

You will never see me violate ethics, such as a merle-to-merle pairings, underage breeding, failed health tests, or foul temperaments. I respect my breed mentors and what they advocate for in this breed.

I breed infrequently, only for improvement out of love of the Collie. The cost of a puppy reflects hundreds of hours outside of work to plan/raise each litter, titling and health testing, and the recognized merits of generations in each pedigree.

Transparency

One key factor that sets a program apart is being honest with owners. I am transparent to best help you and your dog flourish.

I will do my best to match you with a puppy based on your goals and hopes for your dog, depending on which puppies are available (I can’t 100% predict what nature brings). I place each puppy with great selectivity.

Remember – I will have laid down all of the foundations for your puppy, it is imperative to continue socialization, regular grooming, and training to set your dog up for success as a family pet and in the show ring. I am here to answer your questions and help, no matter how silly they may feel – I’ve been there myself!
