Inspire Collies

About Our Program

Inspire Collies is a small, preservation breeding program located in Mocksville, North Carolina.  Our passion is producing AKC rough and smooth collies with rock-solid stable temperaments, good health and correct conformation.  In particular, we pride ourselves on our dogs’ exceptional biddability, their environmental sturdiness and their affable personalities.  We believe a well-bred collie should be easy to live with, beautiful to look at and a delight to train.

We screen all of our dogs for a variety of heritable health conditions and we actively compete in both conformation and performance sports.

All of our puppies are raised with early neurological stimulation (ENS) and an enriched puppy raising protocol (Puppy Culture). By the time they go home, we have put dozens of hours of work into each puppy’s socialization and we expect our puppy-buyer families to continue where we left off.
