Meet the breeder
I'm Laura K. S. W., the breeder behind Bellaclan Border Collies located in Bryantown, MD. AKC BREEDER OF MERIT SILVER Recipients, with over 26 years of experience in Border Collies for pet/companion, show and sport. We breed versatile dogs that are true to breed type. Temperament, health, and structural soundness are our priorities! We enjoy showing to prove our dogs' abilities.
Q. & A. with Laura K. S.
Why did you start breeding?
I started competing with my dogs and then met with Breeders and others who taught me about pedigrees and breeding. I then worked with other Breeders, cleaning, showing, training, etc., and in return, they shared their knowledge with me!What makes your program special?
I have a goal that I have been working on for many years. I have the perfect Border Collie in my head and I try to breed to that type as much as I can. This perfect dog has a certain temperament, structure, and look and of course, is healthy too. So when people come to me I think they expect a particular type of Border Collie.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include smooth and rough coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue, gold, red, sable, seal, and slate. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Tatum, mom
Border Collie
About Tatum
Tatum is smart as a whip, she is an American Champion and 1 point short of also being a Canadian Champion which will also give her, her Canadian Kennel Club Junior Versatility Title. Tatum is not phased by a single thing, she goes with the flow and makes the most out of any situation. She can adjust with zero anxiety or fears, from handler to handler. She is an exceptionally talented human tracking dog regardless of location, put her in a crowd of people with cars rushing by and she won't skip a beat! Tatum is a snuggler but also a workaholic and we love her temperament! She is very dog-neutral, she will ignore aggressive dogs charging at her, I can put her near any dog and she avoids any altercations!
