Meet the breeder

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?
Michael and I have had collies for over 40 years. After noticing a decline in the breed's overall health, we decided to get involved in Preservation and Conservation breeding. Our collies were the first genetically tested by Paw Print Genetics and, six generations later, we have continued to test every puppy responsibly. Because most collies go to family homes, we also temperament-test all our dogs. As 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.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
