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.
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.

“All puppies are sold with limited AKC registration, Microchip, veterinarian exam, 1st vaccination, & deworming. A non-refundable deposit of $500 is required to reserve one of our puppies. If for any reason, you choose to pass on your puppy, your deposit will be held up to 3 years before it expires.”
Erica may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Erica offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Erica directly.
Our puppies are raised around all ages of dogs and children! They are trained to use a doggy door before they go home and most transition into a new home with few to no potty accidents!
All puppies are examined by our veterinarian, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped before going to their new homes.
We send our puppies home with Facebook Support Group, Food Starter Bag, Microchip, Vaccinations, and AKC Registration.
Erica offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
Work with a trusted transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at a meeting point close to home.
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!
