    Rough Collie buying questions

    How much do Rough Collie puppies cost in the UK?+

    Rough Collie puppies typically sell for £800–£1,800 in the UK. Prices move with health testing, Kennel Club registration, pedigree lines and location. Vaccinations, microchipping, worming and a vet check should all be included in the price.

    What should I ask a Rough Collie breeder before buying?+

    Ask to see the puppy with its mother in the home where it was bred, request health test certificates for both parents, confirm the microchip is registered and the first vaccination is done, and check the breeder holds a council licence if they breed regularly. Never pay a deposit before visiting in person.

    Is a Rough Collie a good family pet?+

    Rough Collies suit families who can meet their exercise, training and grooming needs. Match the breed to your home, your daily routine and the age of your children rather than to looks alone.

    Where can I find Rough Collie puppies for sale near me?+

    Browse the live Rough Collie adverts on this page, then filter by county or town. Adverts come from licensed breeders, private sellers and rescues, and sellers on PetTrader are asked to complete a photo-ID check — look for the Verified badge.

    What age can a Rough Collie puppy legally leave its mother?+

    Under Lucy's Law it is illegal in England to sell a puppy under 8 weeks old, and puppies must be sold by the breeder from the place they were born, with the mother present. Walk away from any seller who will not show you the mother.
