Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Dueling Pine Ranch located in Rapid River, MI. We are Dog lovers through and through! Our dogs are such an important part of our lives, and we can’t imagine being without them. It’s an amazing experience as breeders to provide others with Collie and/or Sheltie puppies that we know will bring them the same joy!

Christa’s experience

  • What makes Christa’s program special

    Our puppies are raised in my home handled daily. They get bathed brushed dried held etc regularly. They also get nails trimmed weekly and socialized the most we can and exposed to as many household noises etc as possible so they make great companions from day one.
