Toolalla Kennels
I've started looking around for a coolie breeder, now this isn't an ANKC registered breed so there is no standard really. Though these breeders have chosen thier own "standard" to work towards over the last few decades. They say they have been working towards dark merle colourign to avoid blindness/deafness in pups. Also a short coat and long legs to avoid grass seeds stuck in fur and allow them to travel further easier.
Also, they are working lines.
I can't see anything on health testing but it seems they choose to breed for ability to work more than anything.
You guys are much better at sussing these things out than me lol.
But ofcourse I will be contacting them, viewing parents etc etc before making any decisions.
I also like that on their site they encourage you to look around at different breeders and have a page specially dedicated to whether or not the coolie is right for you.
