To the best of the my knowledge, all breeders who advertise on Collielife, maintain the best possible standards of health, hygiene and wellbeing for all their dogs, young and old.

They do not sell to dealers, pet shops, or any buyers where they have reason to believe the dog will not be properly cared for.

All breeders accept that dogs, like people, grow old and need special care and attention, and they will ensure all dogs are properly cared for whilst in their ownership.

All dogs will have somewhere suitable to live, with the ability to express normal behaviour and receive appropriate treatment for illness and injury.

If you are looking for a puppy, please do some research on the breeder's on this site, but it is not wise to use the information as a mailing list and email every breeder asking if they have puppies available. A well thought out email giving some information about yourself and what experience you have had with the breed may get you a response and into a dialogue with a breeder.
