Jaclyns Classical Collies

Jaclyns Classical Collies is a dedicated Collie breeder in Union, IL, McHenry County and the greater Chicago area near Chicago. Established by Jacqueline Francesconi over a decade ago, it follows American Kennel Club guidelines and ensures each puppy receives recommended health screenings for hips, eyes and cardiac function.

Puppies are raised alongside the family in a home environment, with daily handling, exposure to household routines and supervised play in secure outdoor runs. Socialization outings introduce young Collies to local sounds, visitors and other dogs to foster adaptability and confidence. The breeding program emphasizes stable temperament, intelligence and herding instincts, qualities that local families have commended in recent reviews. Jaclyns Classical Collies maintains a small-scale approach to breeding that ensures personalized care and lifelong support for each owner. Many alumni participate in basic obedience and community therapy visits under owner guidance.
