CELTICHEART

For over 35 years, I have been devoted to Border Collies—there has never been another breed for me but the working dog. My journey began in the early 1980s with Obedience and Agility, alongside equestrian sports and later expanding into Herding and Conformation Showing in the early 2000s. Celtic Heart is a reputable, professional kennel striving to breed sound, quality performance dogs from proven Purebred, ANKC Registered Border Collies. Registered with the Australian National Kennel Club (ANKC) as a Breeder, Exhibitor and Member of Dogs QLD #4100068471. I am an aspiring Conformation and Herding Judge with Dogs QLD, accredited Conformation Steward and currently hold the position of Secretary of the Working Dog of QLD. All Dogs and Bitches in our Kennels are DNA tested for Glaucoma, CEA, NCL, TNS, and Hip/Elbow x-rayed and scored under the current ANKC recognised scheme. Our vision is to focus on 'quality rather than quantity', which means considerable care is taken when planning suitable matings and producing quality puppies for retention in Show Conformation, our Breeding program, or with well-matched placements. Additionally a vital part of the breeding program is to ensure all our dogs are actively involved in Herding which is part of the breeds natural instincts and heritage, with one vision of continuous improvement and parity to the Breed Standards and preservation of the breed for future generations to enjoy the most wonderful of dog breeds the Border Collie!
