The Birth Place of 50+ CHAMPION-TITLED Border Collies Worldwide.
We started breeding Border Collies as a hobby in 1998 and have been passionate about it ever since. We love exhibiting our dogs, not only do we get to show them off, but we get to spend a lot of time with them too. We participate in various venues, such as conformation, obedience, rally-o, herding, tracking, nose work, and more. Our dogs enjoy competition, travel, and exploration alongside us. Border Collies are a very biddable, people oriented breed. Therefore, it's a rare sight to see us without at least one of our beloved dogs in tow!
Whenever we breed (which is rare these days), we prioritize health, temperament, conformation, structural soundness, and most importantly, preserving our ideal breed type. Our current lines are a result of almost three decades of our commitment to the breed, our goals, and preserving top-notch pedigrees from all over the world.
Bellaclan dogs have won countless group wins and placements in the show ring, including top national and regional specialty awards. Our dogs have earned hundreds of performance titles, and we are proud of every achievement. However, easily, our biggest accomplishment is producing healthy, sound-tempered family pets.
Our dogs have provided a solid foundation for other kennels, just as we were given solid foundation dogs by the Breeders before us. We are humbled by the trust they placed in us and strive to continue to provide those that need it, mentorship to the highest standards. We try to be generous with our knowledge, as time allows us.
We are members of the Border Collie Society of America and the Canadian Kennel Club. We hold both a 'permanently registered' CKC prefix, and an AKC Registired Prefix ‘Bellaclan’. We are recognized as an American Kennel Club ‘Breeder of Merit BRONZE’ (6 titles more to silver!), and a 'Bred with H.E.A.R.T' Breeder. As of 2023 all of our dogs have CHIC certifications and we test above and beyond the minimal health testing requirements for the breed as set ut by the parent club. We are always happy to answer any questions about our Border Collies and love talking about them!
