Learning about the parents and the breeder’s goals for the litter can tell you a great deal about the breeding program.
- Can I meet the dam?
- If the sire is available, can I meet him as well?
- What are the temperaments of the sire and dam?
- How old is the dam, and how many litters has she had?
- What were your goals when planning this breeding?
- What titles, accomplishments, or other evaluations do the sire and dam have?
- How long have you been involved with Collies?
- Are you involved with the Collie Club of America or a local Collie club?
- Are you the breeder of this litter? If not, what is your relationship to the breeder and the puppies?
