Detailed Listing Information
We have been enjoying and breeding collies for over 30 years. Our AKC registered collies have champion bloodlines and normal eyes. We raise puppies in a loving family atmosphere on our Illinois farm. Most of our sires and dams are Optigen tested non-carriers of CEA (see optigen.com for further information on Collie Eye Anomoly). We usually have pups available in every color. Pre-birth prices start at $700 for males and $800 for females (for normal-eyed), and $1500 for the non-carriers. We offer discounts for pups that are reserved prior to birth (when we know ahead of time how many pups have found a family, then we are able to more accurately plan for our advertising and other expenses). Shots, wormings, and full registrations are always included. Please visit our website to learn more aobut us (www.goodwincollies.com). Please call (815-953-5102) or email (goodwin.chris@yahoo.com) for more info.
Collies come in five basic coat colors: sable and white, where the "Sable" ranges from pale tan to a golden mahogany; white (which some breed standards disallow); tricolour, which is primarily black edged in tan; sable merle, almost identical to a sable and white, yet with a slightly mottled sable coat, and blue merle, which is a mottled gray. All come with white coat areas, in the collar, parts of the leg, and maybe tail tip. Some may have white blazes on their faces. Tricolours are more likely to have a tan blaze on their face.
The desired size and weight varies among breed standards; male collies can stands 55.8 to 66 cm (22 to 26 in) at shoulder; the bitch averages 5 cm (2 in) shorter. The male can weigh 20.4 to 34 kg (45 - 75 lb) and bitches 5 to 10 pounds (2.3 - 4.5 kg) less.
The mascot of Texas A&M University, Reveille VII, is a Rough Collie.
