Tough News, after trying yet again to get a litter and Dixie still being open we decided we aren't going to continue trying. As big of a dream as it's been for me to pursue collie puppies since I was little and doing all the research, testing, and preparing to be able to put out quality dogs and not just popping out puppies from just any dog; this just isn't in the cards for us. There's been several breeders pop up since we decided to do this journey the dog market has dropped on these dogs due to this, and breeders selling with full registrations and more and more breeders keep popping up. When we started this journey there was only 1 well known breeder in the state and we wanted to be able to provide Kansas with another option for this amazing breed.
Thank you to everybody who has followed us on this journey and sorry to those who have been waiting for us if you're still wanting quality dogs or know where to find some feel free to message the page or my personal Facebook "Alana Fuller" and I'd be happy to point you in the right direction.

🥳 Happy New Year!! 🎊
Here's a very good video on taping collies ears for the tipped look, although sometimes those ears even after taping might still do their own thing!

With sadness we'd like to announce Dixie is not expecting a litter, we waited awhile for our stud to figure out his job and we think by the time we got her linked up with the other stud it was too late. All we can do is keep trying and hoping. We will try again this fall.

Sorry everybody thanks for being patient.

Our Dixie Mae;
Hopefully we will have a confirmed litter announcement within the month. She should be bred and if so puppies will be here around August 10, and ready for homes around October 5th 😬♥️

Stay tuned as we will know first week of July if we are expecting ☺️

Feel free to message us any time with questions,
If you want to be on a potential wait list,
We can even take early deposits once we have litter confirmation or once puppies are here. Whatever works for our forever families, if you want to make a deposit when puppies arrive and make payments up until pick up (8 wks) we can do that, or deposit and then pay the rest in full at puppy pickup 😌

Pretty cool anytime I see a movie with a rough collie (; let alone a Kansas Rough Collie

We'd like to say, breeding season isn't going as planned. We think Rebel may still not be quite ready and understanding of his job. With that being said though, we were able to use our back up stud and Dixie and Cowboy already tied as soon as we got there and we will pick her back up on Saturday. Stay tuned hopefully we will have a confirmed pregnancy in the next month. For now here is the stud "Cowboy" from a very great breeder we've followed for years who has retired but generously let us use their stud and is going to offer so much knowledge. You may know him, he is from Happy Tail Acres 😁❤️

Dixie Mae,
You got us through such a heart break and had big paws to fill. You've helped raise Brooklyn the past two years, and kept us on our toes. You've been the best girl and one of the biggest attitudes in the house ♥️

We love you and Happy 2nd Birthday to our sweet Dixie Mae♥️

Dixie just got groomed in time to celebrate her 2nd Birthday this coming Sunday. So here's a puppy picture and a new picture of fresh and clean Dixie to celebrate her upcoming birthday which also marks the start of her heat within the next week😁♥️ 🎂

Sorry for not posting in a longtime, we've been waiting for the end of this month as Dixie will be falling into heat again. So stay tuned for updates, we are going to try to post more about Dixie and Rebel but also throw out some important breed information as well. Hopefully we will have a puppy announcement coming soon!!!!

We are still here guys, still enjoying the collie life. Just awaiting another heat for a chance at a litter. For now feel free to message us with any questions updates or interest in future litters. We are just enjoying some sunshine and all the time we can get outside

Merry Christmas 🎄 from our family to yours ♥️

We have some sad news today, Miss Dixie is still open, no puppies on the way. This is not what we had hoped for but the vet said with her being just over 1 1/2 years old they don't always take and her next heat her odds will be really good. We understand and apologize to anybody waiting on puppies her next heat will be end of April. Stay tuned as we grow our dogs and we will try again next heat. There is a medication out there that could send her back into heat now but it just really isn't good for the dogs or the puppies. Merry Christmas and happy holidays from AK Rough Collies 🎄

Tons of great information on here about this breed! They have quite the personality's and all of my collies have always loved to "talk" to you when you talk to them😅🐶

"Personality:

As part of the herding classification, the rough collie personality is known to most as smart, quick to learn, and very in tune to people. Collies respond well to consistent, reward-based training, and they tend to enjoy the attention that comes with performing, whether doing tricks or competing in agility, obedience or herding events. Many collies make great therapy dogs as well, due to their calmness indoors and medium height."

A dog breed that's well-known for herding and protecting abilities, rough collie dogs are described as strong, loyal, affectionate, responsive and fast.

Okay Collie lovers, our 1 year flashback today. Time sure flies! Just another reminder and example of how awesome these dogs are for all ages. For even better reference, Dixie is just a young puppy about 8 1/2 months old in this video! 🐶 keep us in your thoughts if you're looking for an addition to the family they're great "baby sitters" 😘

Well we haven't been posting much with the huge wait we've had. The time is finally here! We've been watching and tracking Dixie very closely and she just came into heat so hopefully in a week we will be able to say she got bred, and then be able to do an official confirmation later after that.

Thanks for everybody who had followed us and kept an eye on our journey we can't wait to make the official announcement of puppies being on the way🐶 we are so close, we already have a couple on the waiting list and think this litter will go fast so please dont hesitate to let us know if you have interest you'll atleast be on the list for us to contact as soon as pups hit the ground! By telling us you're interested doesn't hold you responsible in any way for a puppy just lets us know who to keep in mind for contact. We will start taking non refundable puppy deposits once we have pups born!

Can't say it enough how amazing collies are for children, ours take turns following Brooklyn wherever she goes and are so protective of her.
