Wellsmere Collies

Wellsmere Collies, run by Carol Ann Wells, breeds collies in Pine Plains, New York, a small community in Dutchess County about 30 miles northeast of Poughkeepsie in the Hudson Valley.

Carol Ann started her breeding program in 2004 with a clear set of goals: produce collies that combine sound health, intelligence, and normal eyes. Her approach draws on a background rooted in farm life, where she learned early on that a long-term breeding plan matters more than short-term results. Each litter is planned with those same criteria in mind.

Puppies are raised inside the home rather than in a kennel. Starting at four weeks, they are introduced to the adult dogs under supervision, with the pack contributing to their socialization. Housebreaking begins at five weeks, and pups continue to spend increasing time with the full household as they mature. Outings to local businesses and exposure to everyday sounds and activity are part of the routine, with the goal of producing confident, trusting dogs. Wellsmere Collies holds AKC Breeder of Merit with H.E.A.R.T. status, reflecting a commitment to health testing standards and ongoing education. For anyone searching for collie puppies in New York from a program with a defined philosophy and a genuine home-rearing approach, Wellsmere Collies represents a longstanding option in the region.
