EARTHSTAR © 1972 Collies

I, Mary Catoir, enjoy showing dogs for 36 years, my husband and I are retired. I still enjoy showing and occasionally breeding collies.

I am a member of the Collie Club of America for 36 years and I belong to local all breed club that can be verified. Currently Norhtlake and Great Southern Kennel Clubs, former member of the CCLa for 36 years. In good standing with CCA, AKC and UKC.
The reason I state this is there has been a rash of internet sellers claiming to be what they are not. If you lie about something as small as being a member of a club or not, what else to do you lie about? Don't be in a hurry to buy your ball of fluff.

I am a very honest and ethical person and that carries over into my dealing with my collies. I can't help those those that are always jealous ( of individuals accomplishments or show wins ) or vindictive or unethical, some people love to make everyone as miserable as themselves. Life is too short and I would prefer to be loving on one of my collies.

I deal in facts.

Why tell you all this..again, internet is open market for anything anyone can type.

I am currently the District Director for the State of Louisiana. I have been past Vice President of the Collie Club of La. among other office positions.

I exhibit in conformation both AKC and UKC competition. I have been invited to the Eukanuba National Dog Show in Calif twice. I have had dog a ranked in both official organizations.

I show dogs as my hobby but when I bred it's serious undertaking. Why show dogs? well you see ... what the general public doesn't understand is that when you show or compete you put your dogs up against the AKC standard of excellence. You met this challenged you are ready to bred dogs. Not every dog in a litter will meet the AKC or CCA standards for dog show competition, but even the pets must meet my personal standard. They can participate in many other activities such as agility or herding or carting or rally or standard obedience. You will make many friends along the way.

I insist that all dog bred must have excellent temperaments that they get along with children as well as adults. Friendly, sweet and loyal.

All dogs are tested as puppies and again prior to breeding, eye recheck, thyroid, heart, hips and complete CBC to be free of major genetic disease. No puppy is sold before they have their first shots and they are well socialized here and not given the bums rush to make a quick sale.

Are my puppies cheap no, why? They are not raised inexpensively they are fed high quality foods and given my time and my time is a valuable necessity to their great beginnings. Earthstar means new beginnings and here at Earthstar you get a great puppy, that was born to be loved. Vist or friends and family page.

Ask for a questionnaire and don't forget to read all on the what's available page and articles there. Don't forget there are rescued collies in need of second and better homes as well in all states. Or contact me for a email address.
