Collieston was established in 1997 and is situated in Myrtle Bank, an inner suburb, on a little over a quarter of an acre, where the dogs live as house-pets with free outside access, and are exercised at least daily in the parks and gardens that characterise Adelaide's south-eastern suburbs. |

| The breeding stock, primarily our girls, have been
bred, selected, and socialised
with an emphasis on temperament, as well as physical balance and beauty
to create
a
line of good-looking, good-natured and intelligent pets of' 'show quality', but more importantly, sound quality companions. Collieston's aim is that these working dogs should indeed be able to work, not necessarily in the traditional skills of sheep-herding, given Australia's climate, but in some field of activity that allows them to develop their potential for teamwork with their handler, while maintaining their breed standard criteria for beauty and dignity. We concentrate on producing well-coloured and marked Sables, with some Tri-colour input for depth of shading when appropriate. We have a very personal breeding 'program', producing puppies only every two years or so, when we know each puppy is already wanted and appreciated, and we're looking to add to and strengthen our own family lines. |
