Meet the breeder

I'm Joan B., the breeder behind Belle Fleur Collies and French Bulldogs located in La Veta, CO. I have owned Collies and Collie breeds for over 50 years. Have shown in AKC conformation and obedience events. My puppies are out of International and Canadian Grand Champion lines. My primary concern is health, personality, and providing a wonderful addition to the owner’s home.

Q. & A. with Joan

Why did you start breeding?
I began showing and training Collies in Conformation and Obedience as well as being a member of an AKC Collie Obedience club over 50 years ago. Breeding healthy, beautiful, personality plus puppies has always been my priority. I have bred a few litters over the years. Raising and training healthy and happy puppies is a full time endeavor for a responsible breeder.
What makes your program special?
My puppies are raised underfoot. Never kenneled, highly socialized from birth, given individual attention and love, and provided excellent veterinary care. Parents have excellent pedigrees, are genetically screened, and come from breeders who have a history of producing healthy show quality Collies. My goal is to provide healthy, beautiful, personality plus family pets and companions.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have rough coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable and white, blue merle white and tan, black white and tan, and sable merle and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Dodie is working on weaning her pups. The tri-color female latches on and won't let go. I love Dodie's reaction to the little barracuda!

Toddler stage of puppy development. They are finding their voices, beginning to play with each other, and starting to develop the litter pecking order. Time to be cradled and rocked is passing fast. So downright cute!

Parent dogs

Maudie, mom
Collie
About Maudie
Maude is a gentle, calm, devoted , young female. This is her first litter. She has been a devoted mother. Playful, attentive, and training her puppies to follow her when called. She has been genetically screened by Wisdom Health.
Dodie, mom
Collie
About Dodie
This is Dodie's first litter. She was to have been shown in AKC late this summer but the breeding in Colorado did not take place as planned and yet, surprise surprise, 7 healthy and lovely puppies are presented without incident. She is a wonderful mother as well as a beautiful representation of her breed. Fully vetted, OFA eyes and hips checked, Collie Health Foundation and UC Davis genetic panels completed.
Duffy, dad
Collie
About Duffy
Duffy is an intelligent, highly responsive companion and herding dog. Not only is he beautiful, he is a personality plus Collie. Being shown in AKC later this summer. Fully vetted, OFA hips and eyes checked. Genetic panel through Collie Health Foundation and UC Davis lab.
Ranger, dad
Collie
About Ranger
Ranger’s sire is an international and Canadian Grand Champion with outstanding pedigree. Ranger is friendly and loves attention. He possesses the natural Collie herding instinct. Herds the ponies and Angora goats when they are nearby. His efforts to herd the donkey are notable. The donkey thinks the barking dog at his heels is playing a game and so pays no attention. When the “game” becomes tiresome, Jack flattens his ears, lowers his head, turns, and Ranger makes a tactical retreat. Game over for the day.
