Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Liberty Collies located in Gleason, TN. We breed to preserve the unique characteristics of the Collie while considering a variety of traits, including health, conformation, and temperament. We emphasize the proper socialization and training of our puppies, and we strive to promote responsible dog ownership.

Erica’s experience

  • About Erica

    My name is Erica Green and I have 3 children and a yard full of collies! We put God first, and our kids & collies second.

  • What makes Erica’s program special

    I am the middle of the line Breeder and quite controversial. I do not breed for show or strictly farm pets. I breed for the perfect family dog with a balance of health, conformation, temperament, and brains! I genetically test every dog before it's ever brought to our program to ensure I produce no CEA (Collie Eye Anomaly) affected dogs.

More about Erica

  • Why Erica started breeding

    My family has owned collies since the 1950's. Growing up, my parents raised collies. After I graduated from UT with my degree in Animal Science Production and Management, I started my own branch of the "family collie business" by building a kennel and focusing on raising the best collies possible!
