Hi, thank you for checking us out! My name is Tnell Pridgen, and I have been a Collie lover my entire life. I grew up on a farm and my parents raised Collies when I was growing up. My love for breeding came from this. I would spend every waking hour that I could with those puppies and knew then that I wanted to someday raise dogs myself. When I was grown and graduated from college I purchased Princess, a Sheltie (miniature collie) in hopes of breeding her. Turns out she was sterile and things didn't work out as we planned, but we loved her for the 13 years we had her and still love and miss her to this day. Shortly after losing Princess I purchased my 1st Goldendoodle and that's where my breeding journey began, I have been responsibly raising Goldendoodles and Bernedoodles for 8 years now. (You can check out my other website at www.doodlingalldaygoldendoodles.com) A couple of years ago I was feeling nostalgic and purchased Mollie our current Collie. Not sure if I would breed her or not, but Collie's were my first love, and kept the thought open in the back of my mind. Mollie is 2.5 years old now and has matured into the most special and loving dog. She LOVES puppies, you can see one of my many videos that I post under Doodling All Day Goldendoodles & Bernedoodles social media to see so many videos of her playing with the puppies. She is also the most loving dog I have ever had. I have never, and I mean never seen her angry or snap at another dog (which we sometimes see during heats, new females in the house etc). She is going to make the best mom! I am so excited to see her have her very own litter of puppies. She is always trying to sneak into the other mom's whelping boxes here, so having them all to herself will elate her. I raise all my litters inside my home and on a puppy curriculum to ensure they are ready for their new homes. Our puppies are crate trained and have begun potty training by the time they leave us. This is our very 1st litter of Collie puppies, but rest assured that raising and caring for puppies is something I have plenty of knowledge with. Please reach out with any additional questions!
