Your Questions About Rough Collie Breeders Texas
Susan asks…
Chosen a Rough Collie, but still a few questions,…?
I have chosen to get a rough Collie, but I would Like to know some more about them (Like their personality from the owners view.)
Their Life span, height, etc. (Google does not solve everything.)
Also, where are some GOOD breeders in Texas?
Also, how much exerciser do they need?
admin answers:
It really depends on the dog. My collie is usually very relaxed. They are not exactly “cuddly” but they love to be around you ALL the time. They are also whiners X) Sweet dogs, my collie is pushed around by a two and three year old and doesn’t even care. They are super sensitive to how their owners fell which I like, some may not enjoy such an attentive dog. Excercise wise it isn’t too much. My dog is laid back and only needs a walk a day usually less because I’m busy. The only demanding thing about collies is the cost of groom, which you will definitely want to get done professionally. 🙂 Good luck!

Mandy asks…
Does anyone know of a reputable rough collie breeder in Texas?
Looking for a rough collie breeder in Texas; the closer to Houston the better, but it really doesn’t make too much difference. I expect to pay around 400 with first shots included.
If anyone has had a positive experience with a breeder in TX, please let me know. I’ve searched everywhere.
Looking at getting the puppy around May, so future litters would be preferred.
********** Yes, I have looked at rescuing one; however, I believe a puppy would be more suited to my tastes. I am constantly checking the Houston, Austin, and Dallas Collie rescue pages for puppies, but I don’t want one older than six months or so. ****************
admin answers:
Dogs from responsible breeders will be $750-$2000 for a pet.
$400 will get you a rescue dog or a badly bred unhealthy puppy. If you are looking for puppies around May then you need to start saving that extra potential $1000 and enough for a several thousand dollar cushion for emergencies.

There was just a show in Rosenberg two weekends ago – it would have been a GREAT place to meet good breeders.
HONEYTREE is in Liberty Hill outside of Austin http://www.honeytreecollies.com/
Desert Wind is just North of Houston http://desertwindcollies.tripod.com/
http://younghaven.homestead.com/ is in Crosby
There’s a show March 19-21 in Houston. It would be the BEST place to meet dogs and breeders. Http://www.onofrio.com/jodstwo/clubs/ABCbystate/states/abcTX/hous.html
Added: In looking at your past questions, you may have a rough time finding a good breeder or rescue group that will allow you to have one of their dogs. You are in school and I didn’t see you planning for what’s going to happen once you are in the workforce.
You are in school and unless you have a trust fund, you’ll have a hard time convincing someone that you have the cash for emergency vet bills, training, and proper upkeep.
You live in an apartment – herding dogs tend to be super vocal.
You live in an apartment – Without a yard, how are you planning on WORKING a super active herding breed for several hours a day?
Perhaps saving the money and waiting until you are out of school would be the best option? Unless you have come up with a gameplan. . .
Either way, GL!
