World-Class AKC Collies Puppies for Discerning Families

Wyndlair Constitution & Lauren Stelter - Sable Rough Collie Puppy

About Our

Wyndlair Collie Puppies

Our primary purpose when we plan a litter is to advance the Wyndlair bloodline and improve our great breed – The AKC Collie. Due to our family and professional commitments, we do not have litters frequently. We have always focused on a limited number of truly elite dogs. It is that commitment to quality that drives Wyndlair forward. However, unlike most top breeders, we welcome the opportunity to share our finest show-quality Collie puppies with families who simply want the best – rather than selling them to show or breeding homes. We offer the type of Collie that will literally stop traffic in your neighborhood with their incredible beauty and breed type. If we aren’t keeping a puppy for our own program, we want them to have the opportunity to be a loved member of your family.

Wyndlair puppies receive the finest care – far beyond what most breeders can provide. That care begins long before conception, ensuring our prospective mothers are in the best health and condition. They are provided with optimal care & nutrition throughout their pregnancy and lactation. We personally assist in deliveries & continually monitor the first minutes, hours & days of the newborns’ lives. These new lives represent the evolution of the Wyndlair bloodline, the future of the Collie breed, and the prospective joy their new families will experience. Our puppy-rearing process is labor-intensive but results in healthy, socialized puppies that physically & mentally more advanced and ready for their new homes. Wyndlair puppies are available beginning at 8 weeks of age.

“Just what do you get from the true breeder? Family pride. Above all, pride of ownership, not only in a breed but in a family.”

How to Find a Reputable Collie Breeder:

Before you begin looking for your perfect puppy, we ask that you consider proper puppy buyer etiquette. The necessary first step to ensure success is to stop “looking for a puppy,” and start “looking for a breeder.” Working with a reputable breeder will put you on the path to finding the perfect puppy. A reputable breeder is one that does not breed for profit or with the purpose to ‘sell’ puppies, but to improve the breed with each carefully planned litter.

Before bringing a new puppy into your family, we strongly encourage you to read Your Pandemic Puppy by Dr. Marty Greer, regardless if this is your first puppy or not. Don’t let the title confuse you, this is the preeminent new puppy Bible every puppy buyer needs prior to their new addition.

How Much Does a Collie Puppy Cost?

Wyndlair Collie puppies are priced starting at $4,000.00. Wyndlair Collie puppies possess the finest breed type in the world – which we sell to discerning Collie-lovers, not AKC show homes. No other Collie breeder makes this quality of puppies available to pet home families or puts the amount of time into in-home foundational training. The difference in quality, breed type, and behavior between Wyndlair Collies and others is remarkable. NOTE: We reserve the right to adjust our prices at any time due to demand and breeding plans. 

I personally cannot say enough good things about my experience with Wyndlair Collies. As a veterinarian, I was very careful about selecting a breeder that I was comfortable with. Wyndlair Collies far exceeded my expectations. Not only are their dogs beautiful and well bred, but they receive the highest standards of care, and Wyndlair Collies are experts in the breed. From socializing the puppies with their children, house training, car rides, and taking them to see a veterinary ophthalmologist in addition to their primary care veterinarian, you can be sure that they are dedicated to producing healthy and social dogs. It has made the transition for my own puppy into my home so much more enjoyable, and they have responded quickly to all of my questions. Deciding to get a puppy is a big commitment, and the best foundation is choosing the right breeder. I would recommend Wyndlair Collies to anyone who loves the breed and is looking for an addition to their home.

Exceptional is an understatement…I can’t thank Matt, Lauren and Wyndlair Collies enough for their loving care and dedication to the Collie breed.
I would highly recommend Wyndlair Collies to anyone who was looking for a “world class” collie. You will be glad you did.

Wyndlair Collies has provided us with a spectacular puppy and a great experience with the breeders, Matt and Anita Stelter. They provide world class Collies to regular people. Every detail is taken care of to provide beautiful, intelligent, healthy, well-socialized puppies. They take them to one of the top canine board certified ophthalmologists in the Midwest … The puppies are also checked with their veterinarian and given first shots before going to their new home. My puppy was even potty trained when I got home. Collies are clean pups in general but I was amazed at how great our puppy has been doing in our home! Their children help out with training and playing so the dogs are used to play and being handled. They send you home with lots of useful links to information and I know they won’t mind me contacting them any time with questions. All in all, we are very happy with Wyndlair Collies.

Best breeders I ever met. Compassionate and caring and loved the puppy so she was very socialized. Our puppy just howled when we left, like she lost family. Thye were so nice to us with flight delays and showing up on their doorstep at 7am! Staying in contact with advice and she is the most beautiful collie I have ever had. I had have 7 before!

Evalina Burger

Sam is the perfect puppy! Still find it hard to believe that he was already housebroken from day 1. Happy, confident and healthy, it is obvious that he came from a loving and caring home.

Taryn Nishino

Alaska

We searched the Internet and the photos of the beautiful, adorable Collies on the Wyndlair Collie website caught our attention. Aside from the cute collie pictures, Wyndlair Collies had so much helpful information that refreshed our memories on puppy care and breeder selection in general … We had many questions for Matt and he responded to us quickly and made us feel confident we were ready to become dog owners again. We enjoyed meeting Matt, his wife Anita, and their daughter who did an amazing job helping raise our new family member, Winter.

Winter has transitioned quite well to our home. You can definitely tell she was extremely well cared for from birth. She has no problems socializing with other dogs or people, handles car rides well, (was pretty much crate trained already), and has adjusted to spending time in her crate easily. Winter had already begun the housebreaking process before we picked her up, and it has continued to progress nicely … Even after we brought her home, they are still always available to answer our questions. You can tell they are extremely knowledgeable about the breed, they care about progressing the breed, and give great advice.

If you are looking for a stunningly beautiful well-mannered loving Collie we suggest reaching out to Matt and Anita.

Laura Weldon

We picked up our beautiful puppy from Matt and Anita … and we can’t be more pleased. He is a confident, smart and loving puppy who has fit into our family perfectly. Our thanks also goes out to their wonderful children who help out socializing the pups. The responsibility to improve the Collie breed is foremost in their thought process before deciding to do any breeding and it is very evident their beautiful pups! I would not hesitate to recommend Wyndlair Collies to anyone who wants an outstanding collie!

Finding a quality breeder is no easy task. However, the Stelters are Knowledgeable, Friendly, Patient, and Responsible breeders who are committed to maintaining and improving the breed. They are also passionate and genuine in their efforts to provide an amazing collie! …they are fully vested in providing the utmost quality. We are amazed at the awesome temperament of our sweet boy Zeke! He is the complete package: healthy, sweet, intelligent, social and not to mention so handsome. It is evident he came from a place that ensured his start to life was the best possible! He is an amazing addition to our family and we are thankful for the intentional practices of Matt and Anita. After having a BYB traumatic rescue experience we learned it is essential to research and know where your fur family member is coming from. These careful practices begin prior to breeding. Selecting an experienced breeder who has a focus on the overall health and well-being of the dog will have a direct impact on your family’s experience. We are grateful for the heart and commitment of the Stelter family!

We wanted a special family pet and not a show dog so we were very happy when we found Wyndlair. Flew in and out of O’Hare same day and brought our beautiful merle girl home. She is a wonderful new member of our family. Very smart, healthy and active. The whole transaction was seamless! We wholeheartedly recommend Wyndlair Collies to anyone desiring a very special pet!

Scott Glover

It was a delight dealing with Matt. He answered all our questions and kept us updated during the breeding and early weeks of puppyhood. Our puppy is wonderful – smart, with a great temperament and beautiful! We would happily work with Matt and his family again.

Lyra Maceda

Wyndlair Collies is amazing. They blessed me with Sugar, she has been nothing but perfect from the second I picked her up. She gets along with my other two Shelties L-Train and Harley. Wyndlair Collies is very easy to work with and very customer centric. Thank you all so much!

Michelle Nelson

My wife and I recently received Ally to our home, a world class sable & white 9 month old collie. We love our seniors and have had 3 collie over the past 40 some years. My 1st collie was ordered from Spiegel catalog in the late 1960s and the last 2 from local breeders. We decided to have 1 more and we wanted it to be special so after an extended search we decided on Wyndliar and happy we did. Ally is a beautifully marked dog from her perfectly tipped ears to her white tail. She’s smart with a good temperament and eager to please … So if your looking for a special collie and can be patient, because this doesn’t happen overnight, Wyndlair won’t disappoint. Thanks again Matt & Anita for our new family member, Ally

Dr. James Kleeman

Very pleased with our experience with Matt & Anita of Wyndlair Collies! We just recently brought home our newest addition to our family, a beautiful tri-color male pup. He is everything we were hoping for and more. He is so smart, full of character and winning the hearts of every one that meets him.

Every step of the way Matt was there to answer any question I had, and still keeps in touch to see how things are going with our pup. It really shows that they really put heart into their dogs, and their puppies.

Although we have our collie as only a part of our family, and he isn’t in any shows… I know that he is always going to steal the show with his beauty every place we go!

Thank you Matt and Anita for being so great to work with, and so good at what you do. You sure have Beautiful Collies, and feel blessed to call one of yours our very own!
Thank you!

Mindy Giese

These people are the very BEST at what they do. We are very happy with the dog we received and so far they have been very helpful answering our questions and providing great feedback to any concerns we have had. Look nowhere else if you really want the very BEST !!

I have a beautiful Tri female from Wyndlair who is sound in mind, body, and spirit — Smart and loyal; healthy with a gorgeous coat that gets compliments weekly, and athletic; and a true collie spirit with a balance of companionship, alertness, playfulness, and seriousness. A solid thinker who is devoted and loves being a part of the family. As I type this, she is laying at my feet as a true companion. I’ve been so thrilled over the last five years that a second Tri female is soon joining us, and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve trained and been showing dogs (multiple breeds) in obedience since the early 80s and have trained service dogs for many years, and I can’t say enough about the Wyndlair blend of temperament and beauty. Highly recommend.

Erin M. Brown, MA, MFA

Very responsive to messages and definitely went the extra mile! Would highly recommend!

Andrea Valenti

Beautiful dogs! Matt and Anita Stelter are wonderful people to deal with and are willing to help make the purchase of one of their puppies possible. Thank you!

Sue Richardson

They were so helpful! I would recommend to anyone! We will go there for our next Collie also!

Kimberly Kampmann

Fantastic experience!! Love our Marcie. Highly recommended.

Cheryl Ploeckelman

We feel so lucky our research led us to Wyndlair Collies. They were great throughout the process, sharing updates keeping us informed and their collie education and willingness to share all they’ve learned is fantastic. Their health guarantees and vet exams helped me feel reassured that we were not only getting a gorgeous puppy but a healthy well-bred puppy that will be family for many years to come. Hugo has been an incredible pup, he’s smart and well-mannered and adores kids, everything a collie should be! Would absolutely recommend Wyndlair to anyone considering a collie for their family.

Nicole Criddle

North Carolina

After a lot of time spent trying to find a reputable breeder, I found Wyndlair Collies. I looked at other online breeders but they seemed like they were just mass breeding puppies instead of looking seriously at the breeding program. I am more interested in a puppy that has a healthy bloodline, kind temperament, beautiful build, and that is exactly what I got with a Wyndlair puppy. … they breed with a purpose in mind, which is to produce the best show quality collie possible. I was fortunate enough to experience a world class breeder of Alaskan Malamutes in the past when I purchased a malamute, so I know what to look for in a breeder, and what to watch out for. Wyndlair is by far a world class breeder, and the only breeder I could find that I would consider buying a puppy from. I was not disappointed. Working with Matt was very straightforward with no surprises. Purchasing a puppy sight unseen is a little unnerving too, but Matt made that process stress free. Any questions I had were answered and anything I needed was accommodated…I only hope if you are looking for a quality puppy, you look no further. I know I am so glad I took the time to do all the research and waited for Bear!

Our Collie pet puppy prices are the highest in the country, but still below what they would command as top show prospects. We understand that our prices are beyond some family budgets. If you are interested in a well-bred Collie puppy from a reputable breeder but are unable to afford a Wyndlair Collie, please contact us. We are very willing to refer you to a quality breeder in your area.

Purchasing a Wyndlair Collie puppy is NOT an adoption. You are purchasing a world-class Collie puppy resulting from a purposely done breeding and part of a larger breeding program intended to preserve and advance the breed. These puppies are in high demand and are sold with a legally-binding contract and health guarantee.

Saying “I don’t need a dog from a breeder who shows” is like saying “I don’t need a house from a builder who builds to code.”

Puppy Reservation List:

We work from a reservation list for our puppies, and most have homes waiting for them before they are born. If you have decided you want a Wyndlair Collie puppy, please e-mail us to request a Puppy Application. We will review your completed application, and may schedule a follow-up phone interview or ask for references. Once you are approved, a $500 deposit will be required to reserve your place on our list, noting any requests you have (color, gender, coat type, etc.). 

NOTE: We do not add names to our reservation list until we have approved the application and the deposit has been received. The deposit is 100% refundable up to the point that the litter turns 3 weeks of age. After that point, we reserve the right to retain the deposit if we need to advertise the puppy or need to hold on to it longer until we have an approved family.

Picking Your Puppy

We are often asked how we handle picking puppies in a litter. The answer can be complex since each litter is different. Not only does every litter vary in size, color, and gender, but also what we as breeders are looking to retain from the breeding. Additionally, our reservation list will have families with different preferences anxiously awaiting their perfect puppy. We always remind people looking for a Collie puppy that the more open they are on gender and coat colors, the more options we can give them to select from, and often the sooner we’ll have a puppy available. Most times, however, families have specific criteria for their next puppy, and typically there is only one or two available that fit the bill.

With each breeding, we are looking to add something specific to our breeding program and bloodline. That is often something with a specific set of traits or breed virtues, and not always the “pick of the litter.” We select the puppy that we feel could make the most valuable contribution to our program. If we have any partner breeders interested in a puppy, they are next in line. We collaborate with a limited number of Collie breeders – in the United States and internationally – to ensure our breed continues to move forward. Because we do not sell our puppies as show prospects, we are able to make most of them available to committed Collie lovers looking to add a world-class Collie to their family. The criteria they specify in the application helps us match most puppies to the right families. When there are multiple puppies available, we try to give families the most options possible, however, we will give families preference by the order that their deposit was received. We reserve the right to select the specific puppy that fulfills the requirements the buyer specified in their application. No buyer is obligated to take a puppy they decide against – even if it matches the specific criteria they requested in their application. In that instance, buyers have the option to wait for a puppy in another litter or have their deposit refunded

Don’t forget that it is the whole dog that counts. If you forget one virtue while searching for another you will pay for it.

Collie Puppy Care

Our Collie puppies receive the following care prior to going to their new families:

Puppy Vaccinations:

Depending on the age of your puppy, it will have at least its first puppy vaccination. We will provide you with a detailed vaccination recommendation to share with your veterinarian. We follow Dr. Dodd’s Vaccination Protocol to avoid any health issues caused by over-vaccinating, a common issue with Collies and other Herding breeds.

Collie Eye Checks:

We have our puppies’ eyes checked at 7 weeks of age by board-certified canine ophthalmologists Dr. Sam Vainisi & Dr. Gretchen Schmidt in Green Bay, Wisconsin. They are the most respected canine eye doctors in the Midwest and ensure we get accurate results. You will receive an eye check certificate that you can trust. All of our breeding stock has perfect vision, is Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA) Mild, and is genetically clear of Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA).

Veterinarian Health Check:

Every puppy is examined by an experienced small animal veterinarian before it goes to its new home. This exam includes a full physical and cardiac scan. Rest assured, you are getting a healthy Collie puppy, and we guarantee it for life.

Puppy Socialization:

This is the key to ensuring that your beautiful puppy will quickly become a happy, well-adjusted family member. Our litters are raised in our home with an abundance of attention and handling. Our children are actively involved with puppy care. The puppies are introduced to various noises, experiences, surfaces, toys, car rides, motorized vehicles, other pets, and more.

“The breeder is always thinking in terms of the past and the future, while the dog owner is concerned with the present.”

Housebreaking:

Different than other breeders, we begin housebreaking at 4 weeks of age. We get our puppies on a potty schedule early, and that foundational training makes housebreaking a breeze. Our Collie puppies are naturally very smart, and they take to our schedule quickly.

We are obsessive about cleanliness and sanitation. Collies are also naturally clean, and if raised in a clean environment, they will avoid soiling their living area if at all possible. Often, our puppies are not pooping indoors by 5-6 weeks of age. Our method takes a lot of work, and a loss of sleep, but in the end, we produce puppies that are a joy to take home at 8 weeks of age.

Collie Ear Taping:

Beautiful Collie ears are required for proper Collie expression, and they separate great Collies from the rest. We begin by selecting for correct ear shape, size & set in our breeding stock. We then start taping our puppies’ ears at 7 weeks of age to protect the delicate cartilage.

All Wyndlair puppies come with their ears freshly taped. We have developed a superior method of ear taping that is easy to apply, comfortable for the puppy, and will last for weeks. The Wyndlair Way for how to tape Collie ears is simply the most effective method ever developed and we provide the instructions to continue taping in their new homes.

Dewclaw Removal:

Removed at three days of age, this simple procedure prevents a number of health and safety issues throughout the life of your Collie. It will also save your own arms & legs from the inevitable cuts and scratches dewclaws cause.

Worming:

Our puppies receive regular preventative deworming to avoid any parasitic issues. We have a complete protocol beginning at 3 weeks incorporating pyrantel pamoate, fenbendazole & metronidazole. This ensures your puppy comes with a settled stomach and no dormant issues that will surprise you just after your puppy gets home. We use Interceptor and Panacur to protect against heartworm and other internal parasites in our older puppies and adults. Once you take your puppy home, your veterinarian can advise you on a recommended program based on your geographical location.


Health Testing

We DNA test all of our breeding stock for Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA), Multi-Drug Resistant Gene (MDR1), Degenerative Myelopathy (DM), and Dermatomyotosis (DMS) through Paw Prints Genetics. While hip dysplasia is not a common hereditary issue in the breed or our bloodlines, we OFA hips on our stud dogs. And, we continually strive to improve our bloodstock’s MDR1 and CEA ratings. We are committed to producing Collies that are as healthy as they are beautiful.

PawPrint Genetics Logo

Let’s not measure a breeder’s success by the amount of winning their dogs do in the ring, but by the number of dogs that stay with the family that purchased them as a puppy and that die in the arms of the same family 14 years later. In that case, we have three winners: the breeder, the family, and most importantly, the dog.

Health Guarantee:

All of our puppies are sold with a full written guarantee that they are in good health. We offer a 2-year guarantee against any genetic disorder that would prevent the dog from being able to be a happy & healthy member of your family. In our breeding program, we are vigilant to select away from bloodlines that are noted for the serious Collie genetic issues like Bloat, Dermatomyotosis (DMS), Epilepsy, Canine Cyclic Neutropenia (Gray Collie Syndrome), and Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA).

AKC Limited Registration:

In compliance with the Collie Club of America’s Code of Ethics, all of our pet puppies are sold under the AKC Limited Registration program. This gives them eligibility for all AKC Events, Programs & Competition, with the exception of Conformation. Any offspring are ineligible for AKC registration.

Spay/Neuter Contract:

In accordance with the Collie Club of America’s Code of Ethics, all of our pet puppies are sold on a spay/neuter contract. Our puppies must be spayed/neutered and are not eligible to be used for breeding purposes.

“Conservation dog breeding is not just a hobby, it’s a lifestyle and years of dedication to a breed.”

“Collie Breeder Near Me?” – Pet Transportation Options:

Have you searched Google for “Collie Breeders Near Me?” Collie lovers are no longer limited by the quality of Collies in your local area. We have placed Collies with families in all parts of the USA and around the world. We have kennel locations in Wisconsin & Illinois and are within easy driving distance from Minnesota, Michigan, Indiana, and Iowa. However, if we are outside of your comfortable driving distance, we can fly your puppy cargo worldwide out of Chicago-O’Hare International Airport (ORD).

Our personal recommendation, however, is that you fly yourself into Chicago and carry-on your puppy (prior to 10 weeks of age) as excess baggage. You will need a soft-sided Sherpa carrier that we can help you select. This allows you to keep the puppy under your control for the flight home and also avoids any temperature restrictions that can foil shipping plans last minute – a common occurrence in the summer. If you are interested in this option, we recommend working with Sherpa’s Guaranteed On Board, a program to help ensure there are no logistical issues with flying your puppy.

Occasionally, with prior arrangements, we can have your puppy within a 5-minute Uber ride from the airport to facilitate an easy fly-in & out schedule. Our puppy buyers who choose this option always tell how convenient and efficient it was for them. If you want the best the Collie breed has to offer, it can now be yours.

For our clients who prefer to use a private jet charter service, we recommend SC Aviation, a premium local charter company. You can sit back, relax, and enjoy your special day – and your new Wyndlair puppy can fly home in the lap of luxury.

NOTE: We are currently working to create a “white glove” delivery option for our puppy buyers. This service would provide experience care to deliver your puppy to the airport terminal of your choice – or even your front door. Inquire for more details.

Breeding Philosophy

There are three major tools in the master breeder’s toolbelt for managing their bloodline – Linebreeding, Inbreeding & Outcrossing. Each is necessary at different times for the development, establishment, maintenance & improvement of a breed (dog breeds, or otherwise). There are many wives’ tales and misconceptions about breeding philosophies. Neither linebreeding, inbreeding nor outcrossing are good or bad on their own but are different tools to be used for different purposes. It is the judicious selection of which tactic to employ, at what time, and to what dog, that ultimately decides what is best. Inbreeding doesn’t increase the probability of producing health issues any more than outcrossing to a completely different family where the chance of introducing completely different issues can occur. Outcrossing to a given family for certain breed virtues doesn’t mean those virtues can be obtained if there isn’t a certain “nick” or congruency between bloodlines. All of these decisions are expertly made by master breeders who have spent their lifetimes studying the breed and dedicating themselves to its improvement.
Here at Wyndlair, we typically employ linebreeding to maintain our desired breed type, utilizing strict selection criteria for our decisions. We employ select outcrosses when we are looking to bring in certain breed virtues or traits or to reduce our bloodline coefficient ratios. Occasionally, we will do an inbreeding cross when we are looking to set breed type or intensify the blood of one of our finest dogs. Puppies from any of these breeding types are equally capable of being the “perfect” Collie puppy for your family and undergo the same stringent conformation, temperament & health evaluations.

Collie Coat Colors:

Wyndlair Collies are renowned for their rich, vivid coloring, and we work to maintain that in our bloodline. We select against the rusting, yellowing, or steeling seen in many bloodlines. While the Official Collie Standard gives no preference to one color over another, we understand that you may have an affinity toward a specific one. If you do have a preference, please let us know and we will work to provide you with the Collie you envision. Please keep in mind that the more open you are on color and/or markings, the sooner we may have something available for you.

Wyndlair occasionally has Collies in all colors: Sable, Sable Merle, Tri-Color, Blue Merle, and White. Read more about Collie Coat Colors.

AKC Collie Varieties (Rough & Smooth):

The AKC Collie is a single breed but it comes in two coat varieties – The Rough Collie (long hair) and the Smooth Collie (short hair). The Rough Collie is the more famous, “Lassie” type variety. Wyndlair has always focused on the Rough variety, however, we have occasionally incorporated Smooth sires when we haven’t been able to find the breed qualities we are looking for in the current Rough stud dogs around the country. However, we typically don’t breed Smooth Collies. If you have your heart set on a Smooth Collie, please reach out to us and we’ll be happy to refer you to a reputable Smooth breeder in your area.

Show/Breeding Prospect Puppies:

Unlike most top Collie breeding programs, we only sell our top puppy prospects to show/breeding homes under very special circumstances. Instead, we’ve chosen to make these select puppies available to Collie-loving families who desire a world-class Collie of their own. If we aren’t retaining a puppy for our own program, we prefer to see our puppies live a life of luxury as a spoiled part of someone’s family.

Under special circumstances, do we consider exceptions. In the United States, it would only be to approved Collie Club of America members that have significant experience in the breed and have demonstrated a high level of success in the show ring, and ethics and integrity in the breed. We will place top show prospects with approved international breeders looking to improve the Collie breed in their country. Show/Breeding prospects are not sold before 10 weeks of age. Prices start at $5,000.00, and professional handler & breeding terms usually apply. Please contact us for international requirements and prices.

Adult/Retired Collies: 

We occasionally will have show and breeding stock we retire to loving homes to spend the rest of their lives. Please check out Collies for Sale page for any upcoming availability. There is a lot of demand for our adult Collies, so they are generally placed quickly.

Adult Show Dogs/Breeding Bloodstock:

Due to our commitment to keeping our numbers low, we regularly make top-quality adult bloodstock available to serious Collie breeders looking to integrate our bloodlines into their own. We will also consider working with top professional handlers & their clients looking for a Top 10 Collie special. If you are looking for a top-flight special to campaign in the Conformation ring, or an elite foundation stud dog or brood bitch to build your breeding program from, this may be the single most important purchase you will ever make. Wyndlair Collies have made a major impact for many successful fanciers, breeders and breeding programs around the world. Prices for these individuals range from $5,000.00 – $20,000.00, depending on champion status, show record, progeny and age. Please contact us for international rates and requirements.
