To get on my Notification List for a AKC rough collie puppy,

Email me at:  goldleafcollies@hotmail.com or call me: 217-649-3189
I don't require a deposit to be on the list, I'll email puppy news to you.

Puppies are AKC registerable. We have Champion pedigrees.

Puppies are $1,000.00.

I have a Paypal account that accepts deposits and payments with a credit card on the same day. You do not need to create a Paypal account to use it this way.  Mailed personal checks are fine for early deposits. When picking up a puppy, please bring money orders, cashier's checks or cash.

We have eye checks done by an certified Ophthalmologist. 

Owners receive a puppy starter kit, a folder with all of the health records, parent's pedigrees, AKC paperwork and eye-check form. I also recommend taking a piece of the fleece I use in the puppy bedding, for the new puppy's first night away.

If you cannot drive to central Illinois, I might be able to fly the puppy to you when the outside temperature is not too hot or cold.  Additional expenses are about $330.00- 350.00 for the airline ticket, crate, vet check, accessories. You will keep the crate.

I give each puppy a first name. This helps us to email each other about which one you are interested in. I will use a new name if you decide on something else.

The puppies will be started on their potty training.  Collies are very clean and will wait if you let them out regularly. I keep them confined at night then take them out first thing in the morning and several times during the day.

After you have your puppy at home, I would love to have new pictures sent to me. The puppy is yours, but I like to know how they turn out!

Go to Growing Up to see the list of puppy names and the states they live in.
I moved the Puppy guarantee and the story about arranging a puppy's flight to this page: Research.
My puppies arrive as healthy as I can possibily help them to be.

I am using Life's Abundance food for all of my collies.
