It's been almost 3 years since we found Brookwood Collies! Crispin is doing great! I have attached a couple of photos from a recent camping trip. His favorite part of camping is meeting new people, especially kids. He really loves all other animals, he is a friend to all, especially our chickens, he is their great protector. He is just the sweetest boy. We are so grateful to Katie and her family for giving him such a great start in life.
Brookwood Collies is an exceptional private Collie breeding farm that breeds and raises Collie pups. I was very fortunate and blessed to purchase my magnificent Collie companion Emmitt from Katie, a top notch breeder who is extremely kind and a very, very knowledgeable breeder at Brookwood. Katie dedicates herself to exemplary breeding, caring for and LOVING numerous litters of Collie pups all year long. There isn’t a breeder that comes close to the caliber that Katie demands and demonstrates with her Collie pups and their parents. Her high standards of heathy, happy, great-tempered, gorgeous and so close to almost “perfect” in DNA genetics, makes Katie and her Brookwood pups irresistible and wonderful forever companions. Her healthy and happy loving pups are a testament to all of the love she has in her heart for the breed. It was quite the magical experience visiting Brookwood, where Collies of all ages roam the grounds and greet you with wagging tails and many, many kisses! They are all extremely happy, healthy with excellent temperaments. under the watchful eye of Katie. I would HIGHLY recommend Katie and Brookwood Collies if you are considering a Collie breed companion addition to your home and family. I hope that you will be as ecstatic with your selection as I have been with my Collie
We got our boy Alastair in December 2020. 3 years later & we could not be happier. We loved working with Katie. She answered all of our questions & was over all a delight to work with! 10 out of 10!
I had a great experience with Katie at Brookwood Collies. As a first time dog owner she was very helpful, patient and knowledgeable. She provided lots of great resources and information like genetic health reports for the puppy's parents.
Leo has been an awesome dog, healthy, calm, gentle and social. Everything you'd want to expect from a Collie. He also gets compliments for his looks all the time.
When I'm ready for another Collie I'm definitely going with Brookwood Collies again. Highly Recommended!
The best collie puppy and the best breeder. Max is an incredibly intelligent, loving, active puppy. He has amazing structure and personality. We looked for a trusted collie breeder for two years until we met Katie. She welcomed us to her home to meet her collies. She helped us pick the puppy that is right for our family and she even took care of Max when we went on vacation. Katie is highly responsive and extremely helpful, an invaluable resource. We couldn't recommend a better collie breeder. Thank you, Katie, you are doing great things with your collie program! I hope you continue to give other families such incredible collies.
We have so very much enjoyed the process of meeting Katie and all of her wonderful collies at Brookwood. We were privileged to get our third collie puppy from Katie and it has been an outstanding experience. Katie was knowledgeable, professional and so very loving towards all of her animals. Her puppies are good natured and have the best of temperaments. Our puppy has been very easy to train and quick to please.
Katie’s facilities are immaculately clean and she made the process easy and we felt well prepared to care for our new friend.
We really look forward to the new addition to our family and thank Katie for creating this opportunity.
I am 100% happy with my new baby Layka, she is so beautiful now almost 1 year and a half, the Breeder was great! Very helpful and she took care of the adoption process very smoothly. Her Collies are the most beautiful dogs I’ve ever seen and I looked for one year before adopting my baby. Layka is so beauful! Everywhere I take her she makes people stop me and pet her asking me where I got her. She looks like a queen. Her personality is also great! Very friendly with children and other pets, I can not be happier. Thanks 😊
Working with Katie at Brookwood Collies has been a terrific experience. She always replied to answer my questions and gave me all of the information I was looking for. Katie went above and beyond to help us choose the puppy best suited for us, and to work out arrangements for us to pick him up. We were able to meet the parents of our puppy, who were so very sweet and loving. All of the dogs looked to be well taken care of and the kennels were super clean. We also enjoyed meeting Katie’s sister, Lori, who was kind enough to communicate with us in Katie’s absence and help us when we arrived. Overall it was an excellent experience and I would highly recommend Brookwood Collies.
Thank you to Katie and Lori for all of the care you put into giving your dogs great homes!
On January 27th I met Katie in Easton, Pa to pick up the newest addition to our family
...Mac McTavish.
It's been 6 months since that day and Mac is 8 months old now. Brookwood Collies has produced an outstanding best friend and loyal companion, Mac has gotten pretty big and will only be getting bigger. He is such a handsome boy very loving and affectionate, and smart as a whip. Mac was 70 lbs on his 8 months birthday.
I can not praise Katie at Brookwood Collies enough to do this breeder justice!
Brookwood Collies facilities were immaculately clean, you could eat off their kennel floors! All the Collies were well behaved and very social during my visit to see the litter.
Mac is just "THE VERY BEST"❣️
Gary in Pa
Brookwood Collies is one of the best breeders of collies that I have ever experienced. A complete health history, genetics and family history was provided to me with a complete review provided by the breeder. A very professionally run facility as well. I have owned collies for over 30 years and this was one of the best experiences so far. You can’t go wrong! - Jim
Brookwood Collies is a wonderful collie breeder facility in Danville, PA. We dealt with Katie Keener who is their breeder. She is quite knowledgeable about the breed and very pleasant. She gave us a tour of the kennel and we were able to meet and interact with all the dogs and their puppies to assess their personalities and temperament. The kennels are well kept and air conditioned and the dogs have access to both inside and outside areas.
We adopted a very cute 8 week old female collie puppy named Whitney. We have since changed her name to Zeeva which means "radiance". We recently lost our beloved 12 year old collie, Keegan and Zeeva is his "radiance from above".
Katie was compassionate and understanding of our circumstances. There was no pressure, just a bounty of information to help us select the next furry member of our family.
Zeeva has brought a new sense joy and activity to our home. We would recommend Katie and Brookwood Kennels to anyone who is looking for a well-bred, beautiful looking collie with good health credentials and temperament. You will be very happy!
Katie was professional in all transactions and provided many solutions for transportation to Texas. She provided pictures frequently until I picked up my puppy in person. I was able to view the well kept kennel facilities and her beautiful collies. The mom to my girl, Lacey, had such a sweet disposition when we met. My girl has the same laid back disposition and is alway eager to learn. She is almost 2 now and has had no health issues. Would I purchase another collie from Katie if I were to want a second, absolutely!
The entire experience was fantastic. Katie and her family truly love the dogs they breed. I would recommend them to any one looking for a dog. They continue to be a resource even after we have had the dog. I guarantee it will not be the last dog I get from them.
Kate Flynn. Frederick, MD
Gus is such a sweet boy and has been a wonderful addition to our family. He is 8 months old and becoming the perfect family dog. He gets along great with our 8 year old male collie and has been quick to train. He is super cuddly and wants to be a lap dog most days! He has a mellow personality and loves to be around people. Thank you to Katie at Brookwood Collies for connecting us with our pup! We just adore him.
Sabine Scheinkönig, Germany
Dear Katie, we are so happy with Corbyn of your breeding. He is such lovely boy, always happy and friendly. Corbyn loves all people, dogs and our cats. Thank you to trust us with this gorgeous Collie. Sabine & Brookwoods Corbyn`s Blue Jeans

Katie, Reagan (now Rags) is doing great. The first two months have been surprisingly easy, as he`s adapted well to our other two dogs and two cats. He learns so quickly, and even watches television (chewy.com commercials are his favorite...he will sit and watch the dog and cat models). He`s taken to leash walking very easily and is a favorite among other dog walkers at Chesapeake Beach. He adapts quickly, loves everybody he meets, and is surprisingly "sane" for a puppy. We`re very pleased.
The Marshall Family, NJ
Words can’t express how grateful we are to have found Brookwood Collies! Gracie is now 10 months old. Not only was Gracie easy to potty train; but, she is so sweet, loyal, loving, protective, beautiful and is the absolute best playmate to our two young children (ages 4 and 2). She is the sweetest dog — my 4 year old daughter brushes Gracie’s hair and puts bows, tiaras and headbands on her while she just stays still. Gracie will watch the kids play outside and inside — loyal family dog.
Samantha Hill. Greenwich, CT
They say “find a good breeder” when getting a puppy, until I saw Brookwood, I had no idea what they meant. Such a loving, caring, amazing place! The dogs run up and greet you with kisses. My Bridget was from Lilac and Tucker’s litter; she could not be more wonderful. She is sweet, quiet, smart and an absolute angel. No doubt she is a gift. House trained in a week, hardly barks, is healthy, and just wants to be a good girl. Bridget is in training for a service & therapy dog! Thank you Katie!
Marion Henkel. Rabenau, Germany
We were able to welcome your wonderful Aubrey to us and are overjoyed with her !!! She is a very bright, happy and totally lovely girl and we don`t want to miss her anymore. Thank you for entrusting us with this beautiful, great girl :-) The Henkel family and the whole Sunhills Collies with Aubrey
Jon & Nicole. North Stamford, CT
Ellie & Tucker’s littermates Andorra (Ellita) & Kosovo (Carter) just turned 2 yrs old & are lovely/full coated! Every day they partake in a “cross species playdate” with our 2 cats (& she patiently grooms our 3rd cat whom enjoys extra attention). They’re quiet (only bark to alert us), non destructive, intelligent & devoted. Besides a few other family members, we’re also prior blue merle Collies & BMDs owners. Thank you & Brookwood Collies for such wonderful additions to our family
Emily Martin, VMD. Atlanta, GA
Hazel has adjusted very well to our home and her new siblings and isn’t intimidated by anything. We are very happy with her and impressed by how well socialized and cared for she was :) My parents have been going on and on about how impressed they were with your kennel and your beautiful dogs. I can’t thank you enough for everything!
Cathy Cardamone, NJ
Can’t say enough wonderful things about our Brookwood Collie puppy....she is from the Chance x Lilac litter. This dog is not only beautiful but so smart and bidible. She excels in everything she does and is a joy to have in the house. She loves everyone she meets, both human and canine. Katie is great to work with and so accommodating. You can tell how much she loves all of her dogs. I am so lucky to have a gotten a dog from this breeder...she made my dream come true!!
Brad Knott, MD
Hazel has a wonderful temperament, big personality and is a real treat around the house. Very trainable and great with kids and visitors. Brookwood Collies was a joy to work with and very professional and caring of their dogs
Inge Henk, Germany
We are very happy about our Gemma, she is here nearly a year already and has become a beloved member of our family. She developed a curious and self confident personality and we enjoy every day with her in our pack.
Los Angeles, CA
Lucy is doing well. She is literally the best puppy we are so happy with Lucy. She is the star of her puppy class and is already doing so many tricks. We are going to get our CGC then going to start training to be a service dog so i can take her to the hospitals. I really want to thank you for everything, you really helped us choose such a great puppy! She is quiet and so loving and super smart, she also is totally potty trained within the first week of bringing her home.
Dr. Blanke, Missouri
Montana is a beautiful and loving boy! He has been a perfect fit for our family where we also have another Collie a year older from a different breeder. They have become brothers and get along very well. Everything went so well from the minute we contacted Brookwood Collies to adopt Montana and the transport with the airport went very smoothly without a hitch! Most definitely would not look anywhere else when it's time to adopt again!
Kim Albrecht, TX
We found Brookwood Collies online and corresponded with Katie. She provided detailed responses and plenty of photos. We were able to make the trip from Texas to PA to select our pup and found the family, the farm and the kennels to be extraordinary. Clearly, Brookwood's Collies are well-loved and receive excellent socialization and nutrition. Our pup arrived to Texas via airline and was very relaxed and happy. He potty trained himself in less than two days-we were amazed how fast he caught on!
Toly. Long Island, NY
Kids wanted a puppy, and we decided on a Collie. Having no prior dog experience, we were looking for a reputable breeder within driving distance. We found a nice pup online at Brookwood Collies, came over, and picked him up. Today Apollo is 1 years old, and he grew into a sweet, smart and loyal dog. He brings us joy every single day, and when away from home, even for a short while, we think of him and miss him.Looking back, we were very fortunate to come to Brookwood Collies and Katie. I cannot think of a better place to get your wonderful new friend.
Tammy Leavy, New York
Brookwood Collies was excellent to work with. She has a excellent breeding program with her goal to produce the best Collies possible. We have recommended Brookwood to several of our friends. We love our Brookwood Collie, Trixie!
Maria Cooper, MD
We are beyond happy with the puppy selection process with Brookwood Collies. We were very pleased to see the beautiful, green farm where these puppies play, as well as the organized set up. We are even thinking about getting another Brookwood Collie!
Michelle Freisher, PA
It`s been almost two years since we found our "Lassie" Carson at Brookwood Collies. This is our first Collie, and after such a wonderful experience with him, we will not have any other breed. He is such a velcro dog, and has such a great personality, most of the time I swear he knows what I`m thinking. He is definitely a special boy. Brookwood is a very well kept farm, where they truly love and care for their animals. Katie was also very knowledgeable, and friendly. We will come back again.
Lisa Dabney, PA
Sammy (Chance and Gracie's litter) has been a joy to our family. He quickly adjusted to his new home and loves greeting the grandchildren and family when they come to visit. He had NO PROBLEMS with potty training. - he was great from day one with no accidents. His loves his crate and thanks to Katie offering his current food he continued eating right through the transition! Such a loving pup who is quick to learn. We love him and Brookwood collies is the best!
Courtney Stricos-Pasinella. Troy, NY
We are thrilled with our beautiful boy Jude (Troxel from the Chance and Lilac litter born this past May.) He’s a spitting image of his mom, Lilac! He fits right in as a member of our family and we can’t remember what life was like before him. He’s got such a sweet and loving personality and bounds of energy! Wherever we take him, people adore him and comment on how beautiful he is. We couldn’t be happier with our choice and would love to come back to get him a sibling some day. Thank you for all you and your family do for these pups…you should be proud!
Lisa Peterson. Pasco, WA
Hi Kate! Just thought I'd send you an update on Crispin! We love him so very much! He is the best boy. He is the perfect addition to our family. He LOVES camping! Everyone at the vet clinic where I work loves him & he is a favorite among my family members. He graduated top of his obedience class. The trainer would ask to borrow him to show examples of how to get pups to do certain commands, LOL. Thank you again for our wonderful boy!!
Maureen. Glen Mills, PA
I have Lincoln, the son of Lincoln and his mother is Nellie. My Lincoln is the nicest dog I have ever known!! I love him so much I would have more but I have a golden retriever. I highly recommend Brookwood collies to anyone looking for a sweet and loving dog they are the best dogs anywhere. Thank you.
Eunice DePaw, PA
We would like to thank Katie with our purchase of our boy Boris. We are very satisfied with our Collie he came to us in wonderful health and has grown into a beautiful boy. Katie was very knowledgeable and made our process simple. If you are looking for a quality breeder with wonderful puppies look no further
Mike Stry. Saratoga Springs, NY
Katie - We just wanted to drop you and your family at Brookwood Collies a quick note and let you know how happy we are with Emma, (formerly Jenna, a daughter of Nellie and Prince). We picked her up four years ago this month and couldn’t be more pleased. We love her so much! She is intelligent, loyal, obedient, good with children, and has also turned out to be quite the watch dog. It is very obvious how much you care about your Collies. We also love getting your Christmas cards and updates every year. We would recommend Brookwood Collies to anyone. Many thanks.
Christy G. Vestal, NY
We got Rayne May of 2021. She’s a fantastic dog. We would totally consider getting another when the time comes. She’s the most affectionate, well mannered dog we have had. She was well worth the splurge. She loves our kids something fierce. Katie was also fantastic with answering our questions at the time and was patient when we were making our decision. Great experience overall!
Helen. Baltimore, MD
Katie, our girl Eliza (aka Carmin) is one year old now, and she is a delightful addition to our family! She is a bright, athletic, and sociable collie, and we love her so much! I highly recommend Brookwood Collies to those looking for a quality breeder.
Ted Leonard, PA
Excellent breeder. Very thorough documentation and testing not only of the pup but also the mom and dad.
Dave Baker, NY
Ewald was everything we had hoped for. Katie was wonderful and very helpful. Top notch Breeder! We have had him for 2 days now and his temperament is exceptional. Ewald is happy and so are we. Extremely intelligent.
Sheri Hull, New York
I purchased Noah /(previously named Franklin as a puppy) from you in the fall of 2018. I just would like to share how very grateful I am to you for breeding this wonderful boy! Noah is a joy in my life, his temperament is sweet and gentle, yet he is full of fun and keeps me laughing every day. As you can see from the photo he is a beautiful boy, and has such a sweet face that endears him to everyone who sees him. In the past year Noah has begun to accompany me to visits with individuals in our community who can't get out, are lonely etc. He is always asked about if I do not bring him on a particular visit. I try to take him to a mall in our area for socialization and opportunity to get out and about, and he is so good with everyone, he is friendly and sweet to all. Anyway, I wanted to let you know how grateful I am to you and how blessed I am to have Noah in my life.. I hope all is well with you and your family.
God Bless

Harmony is Fantastic!! So smart. Nothing gets by her without her noticing. The Mahogany in her is Stunning. So many people tell us Harmony is the prettiest looking dog they've ever seen. She LOVES the water... as you can see. (Harmony is a sable merle daughter of Chance and Forsythia)
Nancy, Maryland
I just wanted you to know these three are doing well and are happy. They enjoy doggie classes, long walks and hikes, and playing together and with other family (oldest son's) dogs regularly. Freya enjoys snuggling with her best cat friend Felix,, and Shadow and Rags patrol our yard with cat buddy Titus daily. They get along with everyone and each other beautifully.. We love them all, and they will always have a good home with us, guaranteed. I'm very happy we found you and very happy with my fur babies.

Finnegan is my first Collie and is a loyal and obedient dog with the temperament of a typical Collie. I`ve never had a dog that was so easy to train and is so anxious to please. Finn loves to play fetch, chase deer and herd the neighborhood children. He gets along well with all other dogs and is very gentle with other dogs much smaller than him. Without a doubt I`ll be getting my next Collie from Brookwood Collies. (2017)

Brookwood Collies are wonderful people. They have a beautiful farm which their collies roam around happily. It brought tears to my eyes to see all of these beautiful dogs greet me at my car when we arrived. We could not be happier with our dog! I would definitely choose them again if I ever wanted to have another collie. (2020)
Marian Pyle, PA
First time dog owner, who decided she needed a farm dog. After researching breeders and breeds. I chose Brookwood Collies. Glad I did. Katie was very informative and helpful. When I went up to the kennel, it was Maggie who picked me. The remnants of hurricane hit the day I was to get her. Katie graciously held her for a week. Maggie is a bit of a brat, which I like, and very bright. Maggie is a daughter of Colin and Hallie. (2020)
