Meet the breeder

I'm Carmel Ann S., the breeder behind Aredhel Collies located in Oneonta, NY. My Collies partner, Sandy Jackson, and I are getting back into showing and breeding Collies after several years’ hiatus. We breed for health, temperament, athleticism, and adherence to the AKC Collie standard. Our pups will be registered or eligible to be registered with the AKC suitable for pet, show and working/competing homes. We will provide eye checks, first shots and health checks on puppies. Each prospective buyer is screened for suitability and references will be expected. Should you not be able to keep your Aredhel Collie for any reason in the future, we will happily take them back or help you to rehome them.
