Meet the breeder
I'm Alicia, the breeder behind Collies Of Orion Hill located in Central, CA. Our program strives to produce dogs that have both form and function. We’ve produced multiple service dogs, wonderful, easy to live with family pets and home of CH Orion Hill’s I’m A Ten On The Mohs BCAT. He’s our first home bred AKC champion (and hopefully many more to come!). We extensively health test and strive to better each generation in both health, temperament and breeding to standard.
Q. & A. with Alicia
What makes your program special?
We wanted to step out of the norm and build our own program from dogs we found to have unique qualities that we felt were not as represented in the breed as we’d like to see. Health and structure were what we wanted to build on as our foundation and build on head detail from there. I’m also someone who wants to see the other finer details of the standard in my dogs. For me personally, I want to see a balanced dog above all else, both in motion and still.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.
