Calavar Farm

Calavar Farm, collie and Italian greyhound breeder in Franklin, TN, serves Williamson County and the Nashville area. Susan Abelt has been raising these breeds for several years, following major kennel club standards and routine annual veterinary exams. All breeding dogs receive age-appropriate vaccinations and routine health screening before each pairing. Puppies and adult dogs are socialized from an early age in a home-based setting, with daily exposure to household routines and supervised outdoor time.

Litters are limited to preserve quality care and to allow Susan to guide families through each stage of growth. The farm’s rolling pastures provide a calm environment where each dog receives individual attention and gentle handling. Feedback from owners highlights the farm’s relaxed setting and the dogs’ even-tempered nature. A focus on temperament and sound structure guides breeding decisions, ensuring puppies adapt well to varied homes.
