A litter of all rough coat puppies is tentatively planned for 2027-2028.
Current Plans
Our next litter is tentatively planned for 2027-2028. We are taking applications, as our waitlist may extend to 2 years out.
AKC Championships + additional titles, complete health clearances, confident temperaments, and breed correctness are gold standard for this pairing.
Please complete an application below or under the Application/Inquiry page to be considered.
Solid Foundations, Evaluations, & Training
All puppies in every litter will be:
- Raised using Puppy Culture and Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS)
- Evaluated using the Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test and Service Dog prospect tests*
- Early transitions to crate and potty training
- Extensively socialized with people, sights, and sounds
- Handled individually and daily
- Exposed to regular grooming (nails, brushing, baths/dryers)
- Microchipped
- Provided age-appropriate veterinary care
*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 have shown consistent, positive outcomes.
You will never see me resort to means that question ethics, such as a merle-to-merle pairings, underage breeding, or using animals that have failed health tests. I respect my breed mentors and will not use dogs that are not quality representations of the breed standard.
I breed infrequently, with no goal to profit – 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 parent dogs, extensively implementing current methods, and the recognized merits of generations prior in each planned pedigree.
Transparency
One key factor that sets a program apart is being honest with puppy homes and vice versa. I am transparent to best help you and your dog succeed.
Depending on which puppies are available (I can’t 100% predict what nature brings), I will do my best to match you with a puppy based on your goals and hopes for your dog. 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.
