Your Questions About Rough Collie

Lisa asks…

How big should a 4 month old female Rough Collie puppy be?

I am just curious how big a 4 month old Rough Collie puppy should be. Both parents of my puppy are insize, but my mother made a comment about her being small. It has been sooo long since I have had a Collie puppy that I don’t really know what the average size for one is. At 13.5 weeks, she weighed 16.4lbs. I am hoping that someone that breeds Collies will see this.

admin answers:

Well my shelties were a pound per week, so at 13 weeks, they weighed 13 pounds. Since Collies are a larger breed, I would think 16 pounds would be about right.

Daniel asks…

Anybody know of any good Rough Collie breeders in the western United States?

Hi, My family and I are looking for a good rough collie breeder in the western united states, preferably the pacific northwest. I’ve searched google quite a bit and have only found websites without contact info or sites that haven’t been updated since 1997. Ideally we would like to find puppies and we’re not necessarily looking for show quality puppies as this will strictly be a companion dog for our family.

Thanks!

Go to the akc.org site to find a quality breeder, not necessarily a show breeder, although with the collie eye problem that would probably be a safer bet for you.
I’ve owned 3 roughs and bought them at various times from show breeders at a fair price. Not all puppies in a show breeders litters are show quality, so they sell the pets cheaper but they still have all the health tests back of them unlike most hobby breeders dogs.
