Firstly, let me welcome you to the World of the BELLACLAN Border Collies!

I am very passionate about the Border Collie, what a truly amazing, versatile breed!  I am located along the beautiful shores of Lake Superior, in
Thunder Bay, Ontario.   I am dedicated to preserving and improving on the breed, and believe that nothing can beat a well bred Border Collie!

My dogs pedigrees 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.  To ensure health my dogs receive all needed
health testing before they are bred.  After health we look at general structure, soundness and movement .  Lastly I cannot stress the importance
of type enough.  When you look at the Border Collie it should not be mistaken for a different breed.  I do enjoy breeding for certain, colours, coat
lengths and markings,  but I put this LAST.  I hope that with these goals in mind, I can produce sound, versatile, intelligent, and loving Border
Collies, that are beautiful to the eye!

I enjoy spending many hours daily with my 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 Canadian Kennel Club events after the results of a poll vote in September 2007 were
released in our favour!  We are members in good standing with the Canadian Kennel Club and the Northwestern Working Dog Association.

As a breeder I keep the fact in mind that my dogs are always
pets first and show dogs after.  The most important priority for me is to truly enjoy
my dogs.  Although I am quite competitive, winning is just icing on the cake!  They are my babies, and their babies are my grand babies, and we
care about all pups and their offspring for generations to come, for their entire lifetime.
