Why invest in a Fianna puppy?
Bringing Home a Fianna Collie
A Fianna Collie puppy is more than a puppy purchase—it is an investment in a carefully planned breeding program, thoughtful early development, and a lifetime of support.
Our puppies are $3,000.
This price reflects the extensive health testing, careful breeding decisions, time, education, and individualized care that goes into every Fianna litter. From the planning of each pairing to the day your puppy comes home, every decision is made with the goal of producing healthy, confident, well-adjusted Collies who can thrive as beloved companions, performance partners, and show prospects.
The Fianna Difference
Choosing a breeder is about more than choosing a puppy—it is choosing the foundation your puppy begins life with.
Our commitment does not end when your puppy goes home. Fianna Collies families receive lifetime breeder support, guidance, and a relationship with us throughout their dog’s life.
We are honored to help raise the next member of your family.
Puppy Culture Raising Program
Every Fianna puppy is raised using Puppy Culture principles and receives a carefully planned developmental program designed to give them the strongest possible start in life.
From birth through placement, puppies receive:
Early Development
Early neurological stimulation
Early scent introduction
Developmental exercises tailored to each stage of growth
Individual temperament observations
Socialization & Enrichment
Exposure to age-appropriate sights, sounds, surfaces, and environments
Positive introductions to grooming, handling, and veterinary care
Confidence-building experiences
Problem-solving opportunities
Structured play and enrichment
Life Skills Foundation
Introduction to crate training
Potty training foundation
Grooming desensitization
Cooperative care skills
Engagement and relationship-building exercises
**All skills must be continued at home! We have started all of these behaviors for you, so that you are off to a really great beginning. All behaviors must be maintained, practiced, and built upon as your puppy grows.
What Is Included in Your Puppy’s Investment?
Health-Focused Breeding Program
Before puppies are ever born, significant time and resources are invested into creating each Fianna litter.
Our breeding program includes:
Comprehensive health testing of parents
Breed-specific genetic testing, including the UC Davis Collie Health Panel
AKC DNA testing
Thoughtful pedigree research
Careful evaluation of health, temperament, structure, and breed type
Our goal is to preserve and improve the Collie breed by producing puppies with sound bodies, stable temperaments, and the ability to excel in their future homes.
Reservation Process
After completing an application and being approved for a Fianna puppy, families may reserve their place on our waitlist.
Waitlist Fee
A $100 non-refundable waitlist fee is required to secure your place on the waitlist.
This fee is credited toward the final purchase price of your puppy.
Puppy Deposit
Once puppies are born and families are invited to reserve a puppy from the litter, an additional $400 non-refundable puppy deposit is required.
Together, the waitlist fee and puppy deposit total $500, which is applied toward your puppy’s final purchase price.
The remaining balance is due according to the terms outlined in your puppy contract. We sell all our puppies under a contract that will be reviewed with you prior to purchase and signed by both parties when the puppies are sent home.
**Please note: Families do not pick their own puppies. Puppy selections are made by the breeder after 7.5 weeks of age once the puppies have been structurally evaluated and temperament tested. Gender, color, and coat length preferences are taken into strong consideration when making puppy decisions, but they are not the deciding factor in which puppy is placed with which families.
What Goes Home With Your Puppy
When your puppy leaves Fianna Collies, they leave with more than a loving start—they leave with a comprehensive foundation for a successful transition into their new home.
Every Fianna puppy goes home with:
Veterinary Care
By the time your puppy joins your family, they will have received:
A comprehensive veterinary examination by 9 weeks of age
At least one set of age-appropriate vaccinations (many puppies will have received a second set depending on their individual go-home timeline)
Routine deworming every two weeks beginning at 2 weeks old
Age-appropriate heartworm prevention and flea/tick prevention
A complete health record documenting all veterinary care
Health Testing & Evaluations

AKC DNA Profile
UC Davis Collie Health Panel
Examination by a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist and eye certification appropriate for their age to screen for Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA) and other inherited eye conditions
A structural evaluation to assess overall conformation and development
A professional temperament evaluation at approximately 7½ weeks of age to help guide placement and provide valuable insight into your puppy's personality
Copies of all applicable health testing, veterinary records, and evaluation results will be included in your puppy's take-home folder.
Puppy Take-Home Package
Each Fianna puppy goes home with a thoughtfully prepared puppy package designed to help make the transition to their new family as smooth as possible.
