More recently, the Scottish Shepherd can be found in every yard. Favorite kids, red and black shaggy long-faced dogs were rightfully considered the best family dog. But suddenly, literally overnight, they disappeared somewhere. And today it is not so easy to buy a collie puppy. But the breed remained in Russia, it is just that now you have to look for it.
Where to buy a collie in the capital
The residents of the capital were the luckiest of all. A lot of kennels and collie breeders work in the regions of the Moscow region. The same applies to the Northern capital. Almost at any time, those who wish can find a collie litter and buy a puppy of the desired color and sex. To do this, it is enough to go to any online ad platform. Many breeders duplicate advertisements in print newspapers.
Even if you come across a very old ad, call. Perhaps the nursery is growing up or is about to expect puppies from a new litter. And even if this breeder has nothing to offer you, he will always be able to orient you and redirect you to another dog breeder who has the collie puppies you need now.
Buy collie online
A universal option for buying a collie puppy is to find a forum of this breed on the Internet, where mating announcements are always posted and advertisements for sale are published. On the forum you can get acquainted with the parents of your future collie puppy in absentia, see with your own eyes all possible colors, talk with the prospective seller-breeder.
Many nuances become clear even with such a superficial acquaintance with the breed. But this is an important part of a successful purchase of a collie puppy, and indeed of any breed. Among Scottish Shepherds, there are different lines, breeders in breeding focus on one or another breed trait. Do you care about thick, floor-length hair, or do you prefer a sporting dog with average clothes, but the ability to easily take a two-meter hurdle? Are you going to conquer the show rings with a handsome collie or do you expect to get an active hiking partner?
All these points need to be discussed with the breeder at least, and at best it is advisable to find out for yourself everything on the same forum where show results are published, and reports of collie lovers from hiking, and just different stories about life with this wonderful and beautiful dog.
How to buy a collie puppy in the provinces
It is not so easy for residents of the provincial part of Russia to find a collie puppy, if only because in the overwhelming majority of cases the buyer will face the question of delivering the dog from the breeder. Only a very lucky buyer or a resident of large cities - Novosibirsk, Kazan, Samara, Yekaterinburg, etc., can expect to buy a puppy near the house.
Most likely, you will be asked to wait for mating, informing the approximate dates, or they will give the coordinates of the kennels / breeders closest to your city, where there are now collie puppies for sale. Be sure to take all contacts. If possible, go to see all the litters, even if there are no puppies of the color or sex you need. It often happens that during live communication, the buyer successfully chooses something completely different from what he expected. The factor of meeting with this very puppy in personal contact is the highest.
