Welcome to what collie-book writer Terhune famously described as "swirl of exultant collies."
Our collies are our constant companions and best friends. They are the historic old-style collie that the storybooks tell of. They are faithful and eager to serve with an intelligent and gentle nature. They enjoy working on our ranch watching the children, keeping the animals safe, training in agility and rally obedience, accompanying us on trailrides, hikes, and city adventures too. Unlike many working and herding breeds, they are calm by nature and are content to take a nap when not working. They have a laid back attitude and are very attuned to their families' needs. They are ideal for the family, farm, therapy, or service work. They have low-maintenance coats. Our dogs weigh 35-60 lbs and have soft, biddable temperaments. If you want a loving, low-maintenance companion with high intelligence and gorgeous good looks an old-style Collie is for you. We do genetic screening on all of of our dogs as well. Our dogs are registered with the Old-Time Scotch Collie Association (OTSCA).
Coyner Farms Skye Holbrook
Skye is a blue merle with plenty of Dunrovin and Heritage bloodlines. She weighs about 50 lbs. She is miss confidence and was born socialized with work ethic too! Tested clear for CEA, PRA, MDR1. Skye mothers all babies. She adores chicks and has been known to crawl in their bin to cuddle them. She monitors our foal, and her #1 job is keeping a close watch on our 2 children. She leaves livestock alone unless it seems to be threatening us, or if we are trying to herd. Then she jumps into action. She is willing to handle animals as large as horses.
Butterscotch Farm Betsy Ross Holbrook
Betsy came to join us from my friend Sarah's farm in Maine! She is super sweet, adores children, and has plenty of working instinct too! She watches for hawks, and absolutely is the best trailriding and hiking buddy!
Burnett's Beatrix Holbrook
We are super excited to bring Beatrix's rare west coat genetics back east! As a bonus she also has the Chesney bloodline too! She is turning out to be everything a scotch collie should be! Calm, thoughtful, biddable, and sweet as could be.
Holbrook's Vincent
Vincent is an elegant boy with a gentle sweet and soft personality. He loves to play and go for walks and rides with us.
