If you have questions unrelated to purchasing an AKC Collie pup or dog, visit our Contact page for Consultation Information.



Part of the application process is our initial telephone interview. Friendly phone conversations with potential buyers give me the opportunity to meet and get to know you a bit as well as learn about your personal circumstances and evaluate the likelyhood of our ability to meet your needs. Puppy placement is a very important task for me - I want you to be happy with your pup and confident about adding a new family member to your home. Thus, I provide you with as much time on the telephone as needed to answer your questions fully so you are able to make a good decision.

I believe the application process can and should be polite, non-intimidating, friendly and respectful of your inquiry while ensuring the future happiness of our pups as well.

I feel a special commitment to every buyer to provide excellent customer service right from the very start. As a family, we feel honored that you trust us with such an important task as finding a new family member in the puppy you will someday own and we take our responsibility to you and our pups very seriously!

After the telephone interview, please fill out the following form and send it in with your deposit.

Thank you for your interest in Crown Thistle Collies!

21. We are often asked which dog food we recommend. As you know from our web site, we feel that superior nutrition is a corner stone of excellent health, that's why we cook for our own dogs. We include the following information on our application for your convenience.

Flint River Ranch is the only dog food that we feel is truly great dog food.
It is what your pup has been started on here along with our wholesome cooked meals.
Flint River Ranch is superior to other dog foods because it is made with
all natural human grade ingredients with all meat protein and no fillers.
Iams, Eukanuba, Science Diet & Nature's Recipe are not.

Flint River Ranch contains no ethoxyquin, BHA or BHT, no by-products and no artificial
colors or flavors as most other dog foods do!

Flint River Ranch is also less expensive to feed. Why?

There are more calories in a bag of Flint River Ranch than other premium foods, so
you feed less and therefore the bag lasts longer. Your pet only needs a certain
number of calories per day: too many and he gains weight, too few and he loses weight.
Buying calories "in bulk" saves money -- and because Flint River Ranch has no fillers,
you feed less so the yard mess is smaller and easier to clean up!

40lbs of FRR dog food costing $49.40 (total price with free shipping directly to your door)
lasts as long as:
* 64 lbs Eukanuba costing $71.71 (plus tax)
* 60 lbs Science Diet costing $48.00 (plus tax)
* 56 lbs of Iams costing $52.03 (plus tax)
* 63.6 lbs of Nature's Recipe costing $50.88 (plus tax)
(price per pound calculated based on 40lb bag price)

As you can see, Flint River Ranch is a better value and provides better quality
nutrition for your pet. Flint River Ranch is less costly to feed because there are more digestible
calories per cup than in the other brands. Without the fillers, your pet
will be able to use more of what he eats rather than having it all
"come out in the end."
