Collie Rough Breeders, NZ

We have been very lucky to import some lovely dogs from Cathkin kennels in Australia starting with our tri boy NZ Ch Cathkin Lastinimpression (Imp Aus) who made a very lasting impression on us and he sired our first home bred champion Ch Lastin-Blaize of Collievale. The last couple of years has seen us consolidate on our other imports - NZ Ch Strathaven Maker of Dreams (Imp Aus) (Atlas), NZ Ch Cathkin Pretty Spectacular (Imp Aus) (Xena) and NZ Ch Cathkin Lordy Miss Maudie (Imp Aus) (Maudie) The future looks bright for us at Collievale and we have a lot to be thankful for with the help people have given us. Visit our website to see what we are up to.

We brought home our first Rough Collie in 2020 and 2 more followed in quick succession as we fell in love with the breed. Passionately showing our dogs, we have titled all three of our bitches as New Zealand Champions. Our first litter was born June 2023 and we are enjoying having the girl we retained being competitive in the show ring, giving us our first home bred Champion.

Have been showing Rough Coat Collies since 1985,when our first boy joined us in our family.In 2011 I imported an Ingledene Bitch from the famous UK Kennel ,and together with my Braemist boy from a top New Zealand Kennel my line was started.Just bred my 2nd litter which has some exciting breeding behind it.

Breeding since 1988,Home of many NZ/Aust Champions,Supreme/Grand Champions and Allbreeds Best in Show/Runner Up in Show winners. Multi Allbreeds class in Grp/In show winners Speciality Best in Show winners All breeding stock full DNA tested & Hip/Elbow scored.

We currently have a litter of blue merle and tri, 06/11 will be 8 wks old. I had my first dog Sam now 10 yrs young who is a tri-coloured rough collie. He is from a reputable breeder in NZ. I came to know collies after loads of research and believe I have found the one. Sam is the best dog I would ever ask for. After 5 years we were able to have Sam a dog family member too, so we went back to the breeder and luckily able to have a girl from Sam's litter sister who we adored. We agreed on possibility of breeding her in the future, completely naive about breeding. Then the studying has started and is still going, it's HUGE. This is my third Degree. We love this breed so much and would do everything to protect them, and find homes that truely deserve such amazing companions. So we have started small, and knowing the difficulties involved of breeding, we take every step carefully and seriously, and do the right thing. Therefore, all our pups will be fully papered and transparent with the information only for those who seriously consider a collie in their life. If you would like to get in touch about the possibilities, you are always welcome to email, call, message, and we are happy to share any information we have about the breed.

Blue merles are a true bless, they are raised in our house in the city along with pup mom Sofi (sable merle), dad Simba (tri), and great uncle Sam (10yo).
