We are located along the beautiful shores of Lake Superior in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.  Bellaclan is dedicated to preserving
and improving this truly amazing, versatile breed!

Bellaclan dogs have pedigrees that are "walking tours" 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 the dogs receive all recommended breed specific 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 of Border Collies for over ten years, 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.

Our goals for the future include indulging ourselves in more performance events, and earning some nice obedience, rally, herding,
and agility titles.  

We have some very exciting new additions arriving throughout 2010,
Jackson was born here in November,  Farrah arrived from Florida
in late February, and our third and final addition for the year is due here this summer.  We also have some exciting show ventures and
planned litters...stay tuned!

Be sure to
contact us if you have any questions...the only thing in our house that bites is the cat! ;)

Warmest Regards,

Laur Shaw
