I'm Sharen H., the breeder behind Glenelg Collies located in Nine Mile Falls, WA. We are purebred conservation breeders of rough and smooth Collies. We breed to the American Collie breed standard, never compromising on health, temperament, or structure. As most of our puppies go to family pet homes, we make every effort to breed excellent companion dogs who bring joy into the lives of their respective families. Many of our puppies will also grow up to do quite well in the areas of agility, herding, obedience, rally, therapy, and tracking.
Q. & A. with Sharen
Why did you start breeding?
We've had Collies for over 30 years. About 15 years ago, we began conformation showing and breeding. Responsible, ethical breeders play an important role for the future of the dog ecosystem. We are guardians for the future Collies. Our goal is to breed quality puppies and preserve the line of these incredible companions. We are lifelong learners and are constantly looking for ways to care for our Collies and improve the breed.
What makes your program special?
We are committed to an integral breeding program which includes a low coefficient of inbreeding (COI), comprehensive health, and DNA screening. It is our goal to adhere to these strict breeding practices to produce the healthiest, highest quality family and performance dogs that are true to the Collie breed standard.
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 black white and tan, sable, blue merle, and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
Glenelg Collies reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Collies.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Brucellosis
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
