Desert Kennels

Desert Kennels, run by Abra Karhan out of Saint Stephens, Wyoming, focuses on collie puppies — both rough and smooth coated — bred to preserve the temperament and working instincts of the traditional farm and family collie. The program is now in its fourth generation of collies, with the broader Casper region of central Wyoming providing a fitting ranch environment for dogs selected with ranch and family life in mind.

Temperament comes first in Abra's selection process, followed by original herding and guarding instincts, and then conformation to AKC and UKC breed standards. The collies are AKC Bred With Heart certified, and adults carry CHIC numbers through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, meaning their health testing meets Collie Club of America recommendations and results are publicly verifiable. Additional genetic testing covers von Willebrand's disease and Hyperuricosuria, with all current dogs listed as clear on the OFA website.

The program also has a record of obedience and conformation competition, with four generations of collies earning AKC and UKC titles in obedience, rally obedience, and the show ring — making Desert Kennels a well-documented option for those searching for collie puppies in Wyoming with a verifiable performance and health history behind them.
