I'm the breeder behind Alaken Collies located in North Carolina. We strive to produce puppies that adhere to the breed standard and are exceptional in the home and on the farm. We love our dogs! Our objective is to raise Collies that are great at their work, but also willing to settle in with the family at the end of the day. We place our puppies in homes that will be suited to their temperament and ability.
