Collies have always been a part of our family. Through watchful breeding and very loving care we hope to make these loving animals a part of your life. We are in the business for the purpose of helping the breed. It is my goal to help people find the perfect Collie puppy that will fit their life and family.

The Perfect Dog System (Click On Picture Above )
Our family has grown so much in the last few months. Princess’s coat is really coming out very well and Caesar is growing quit large. There is a good chance that Akria is expecting, we will keep you updated as time goes by. Akria has never had a litter so wish her luck and let us learn with her. We have plans for some other good looking tri-color puppies, but the future will tell.

History
The Collie dates back hundreds of years
The Collie goes back hundreds of years to the Scottish Highlands, where he was used for guarding the flock and herding. The early breeders kept no records, so the early historic details are somewhat muddy. There is speculation that the Rough Collie and the Smooth Collie had different origins, though they are presently classified as a long and short-haired version of the same breed.
Scots Colley Dog
In the early days they were called the Scots Colley Dog, Colley being a black sheep. The Rough Collie's lineage was especially influenced by a dog name Old Cockie, born in 1867 whose sable colored coat can be seen in the modern Collie. Every Rough and Smooth Collie can also trace their ancestry back to a tri-color dog named Trefoil, born in 1873. The Rough Collie has been extremely popular, but not so with the Smooth Collie. The Smooth Collie may have died out, in fact, if it had not been for the efforts of a number of dedicated breeders. By the 1930's the Collie was thought to have been bred with the Borzoi, which gave it more nobility but also made it somewhat melancholy
Queen
Victoria
The early ancestors were brought to
England and Scotland over 400 years ago. Queen Victoria kept a Rough
Collie at Balmoral in 1860, and thanks to her enthusiasm for the breed,
there popularity sky-rocketed in the herding circles and amongst the upper
class. This popularity continued many years later with the writings of
Albert Payson Terhune and the infamous television show "Lassie".
The breed's popularity was so immense at one time, that huge sums of money
would exchange hands for the best of the dogs. The highest price ever
reputed to have been paid for a Rough Collie was for Ch. Parbold Piccolo
to an American. Upon arriving at his new home in Milwaukee, Piccolo was
allowed to freely roam around the property. He tragically disappeared that
same day.
Collies have
proven themselves to be a very adaptable and versatile breed. Collies
today are seen in the conformation ring, obedience ring and in herding
events. Many Collies have even lived up to the high standards set by
Lassie, performing feats of heroism and bravery.Collies today
What Makes A Champion
I believe a champion is not born. What makes a collie a champion is the blood, sweat and love of the owner and dog. There are champions in all dogs regardless of the breed. My purpose is to make Princess a show dog and a champion and a good friend.
