Every breeding is carefully planned with intention and purpose. We strive to produce Collies that possess physical and mental soundness, outstanding virtues, and the enduring traits that define true Collie character. Each litter reflects a long-term vision grounded in the Collie Standard and shaped by the influence of esteemed mentors.
Thunderstruck Collies operates on a limited scale, prioritizing quality over quantity to maintain the highest standards.

Our facility provides puppies with exceptional care, exceeding the standards of most breeders. We personally supervise deliveries and closely monitor the neonates during their critical early stages. As the future of the Collie breed and the source of joy for their prospective families, these newborns represent our bloodline. Our rigorous puppy-rearing process yields healthy, socialized puppies that are physically and mentally more advanced, ready for their new homes. Puppy socialization, especially during the crucial early weeks, is a critical aspect of raising a well-adjusted dog, and as breeders, we play a vital role in this process. We understand that a puppy's early experiences shape their temperament and behavior as adults, and we actively work to expose puppies to a variety of sights, sounds, people, and environments. This early socialization helps puppies develop into confident, adaptable dogs who are less likely to develop fear or aggression later in life.
We love our customers, so feel free to visit during normal business hours. Please call to schedule an appointment.
