Meet the breeder
I'm Remy H., the breeder behind Arabella Collies located in Eastsound, WA. I breed smooth and rough Collies. My approach to breeding is that every litter is thoughtfully and responsibly bred. I've spent countless hours studying our breed standard, health concerns, and pedigrees. My passion has always been in animals and I have exclusively worked in the pet care industry.
Q. & A. with Remy
Why did you start breeding?
I embarked on my journey only in search of a service dog. Instead, I found much more. My dog came with a request from her breeder to be shown. I got hooked on that pretty quickly, and my dog quickly finished her AKC Championship. Her breeder and I co-bred her first litter, and I kept a puppy. With my two Collies, I have shown conformation, achieved trick dog titles, and trained in other sports.What makes your program special?
I truly believe in breeding a well-rounded dog. While I might want dogs that are successful in the show ring, I also know that most puppies will go to families who want healthy pets or even service dogs or sport prospects. I don't just want to produce a pretty dog, but one whose body and mind holds up to every adventure. I want my dogs to be a prime example that a well-bred collie can do it all.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include rough and smooth coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Collie
About Nyssa
Nyssa is a dream come true. She has the beautiful head and type we've been looking to introduce to our program, but also the structure and movement we refuse to compromise on. She shows a lot of promise for sports and has been exposed to herding. Nyssa now works as my service dog, and finished her championship in short order. Nyssa is merle, rough-factored, tri-factored, and white-factored.

Collie
About June
June has an absolutely bombproof, sweet temperament. She is lower energy with a great settle, but a great amount of food and praise drive. Nothing phases this sweet girl, and she wants nothing more than some cuddles and yummy treats. She gets along with absolutely everyone, including grumpier dogs and cats.

Pancho, mom
Collie
About Pancho
Pancho is an exciting step forward with our program. She has a wonderful, driven personality, CEA normal eyes, and beautiful structure. She really is the best of her two parents in one puppy. After a traumatic start, Pancho and her tenacious personality proved to be a fighter. We worked around the clock to keep her and her littermates going. As a result, she means a lot to me, my mom, and my friend who helped whelp the litter. The three of us decided to co-own her when it came time to get her registered. We're looking forward to the endless adventures she's bound to take us on. Pancho is pure for smooth and therefore will not produce rough offspring.

Pilot, dad
Collie
About Pilot
Pilot came to us with the generosity of Woodlawn Collies in Minnesota. We acquired him in an effort to diversify the pool of genetically normal-eyed collies in the Pacific Northwest. In addition to being genetically clear of Collie Eye Anomaly, he offers beautiful movement and sound structure, two things we greatly value in the breed. He is very sweet and handler-focused and wants nothing more than to please his people. This goofy guy brings a smile to everyone's face, and we can't wait to see the future ahead for him.

Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
