Wild Wind Collies
Meet the breeder
I'm Shelley B., the breeder behind Wild Wind Collies located in Keystone, CO. I grew up with a collie, as an adolescent, "Lady", was my best friend and confidant. As I grew older I knew that collies were the only breed that I was interested in for my family. Wild Wind Collies was established in March of 1984 with the purchase of our first collie, Fraelins Ulysses Marches On, a big tri rough male who at 2 1/2 years of age adopted our then 1-year-old son. My family was hooked and we have all loved this breed since.
Q. & A. with Shelley
Why did you start breeding?
I grew up with a wonderful, unregistered Collie. I did a competition with horses and my dog in 4H and other local shows. When my husband and I purchased 5 acres in Colorado I had to get a Collie. Breeding was an interest and being responsible as a breeder was huge for me. Showing, training, and competing to prove my breeding program was a natural extension of what I wanted to do.What makes your program special?
We have extremely healthy dogs, they are known across the country and in many countries to be mentally and physically sound, excellent work ethic and drive as well as many, many beautiful Champions, some of our breed's top winning dogs in conformation.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
