Cheviot Collies
Meet the breeder
I'm Larry & Nancy P., the breeder behind Cheviot Collies located in South Dakota. In 1986, the kennel name Cheviot Collies was established. It is derived from Cheviot Hills, the rolling hills between Scotland and England where they say the Collie originated. Cheviot Collies focuses on structure, temperament, and health.
Q. & A. with Larry & Nancy
Why did you start breeding?
We got our initial American Kennel Club (AKC) wings in the obedience ring with a Collie in 1975 and started looking at the conformation show ring when my pup (Aries) started getting older. We joined the Collie Club of America (CCA) in 1983 and have been members ever since. We went to our first CCA National Specialty in Detroit in 1984 to touch and see what we had been looking at in the magazines. The event that really inspired us was when they brought all of the champions into the ring at the same time. There were row after row of beautiful Collie champions and I knew I wanted to be in that ring with my own Collie someday.What makes your program special?
We are proud members of the Collie Club of America and have years of experience working with the Collie breed. We focus on breed standard and breed tradition. We continually produce both champions in the show ring and lovely family companions.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
