Welcome to the World of the BELLACLAN Border Collies!
We are located along the beautiful shores of Lake Superior, in Thunder Bay, Ontario. We are dedicated to preserving and improving on the Border
Collie breed, and believe that nothing can beat a well bred Border!
Our lines are a walking tour composed of some of the best conformation, herding, agility and obedience Border Collies in the world. First and
foremost we aim to breed dogs that have excellent temperaments and are healthy. After this we look at general structure and movement . I cannot
stress the importance of type enough. When you look at the Border Collie it should not be mistaken for a different breed. We enjoy breeding for
certain, colours, coat lengths and markings, but we put this last. We hope that with these goals in mind, we can produce sound, versatile, and
intelligent Border Collies, that are beautiful to the eye.
We enjoy spending many hours daily with our dogs, whether it be training for titles or merely enjoying long hikes with them, they are always good
company. The Border Collie is now eligible to compete in CKC events, after the results of a poll vote were released in our favour! Look out for us at
home in the CANADIAN rings soon!
As breeders we keep the fact in mind that our dogs are always pets first and show dogs after. The most important priority for us is to truly enjoy
our dogs. Although I am quite competitive, winning is just icing on our cake! They are our babies and their babies are our grand babies, and we
care about all pups and their offspring for generations to come, for their entire lifetime.
Cheers,
Laura K. S. Shaw
