About Us

Ceilidh Collies is a family affair; Three generations of our family are involved with our dogs. The love of the breed started, like most others, with Albert Payson Terhune books until it finally culminated in a desire to help the preservation and advancement of this breed after a trip to the Collie Club of America National Specialty in 1998. Our line is finally coming into fruition and becoming recognizable while cementing our personal style and most valued virtues.

Ceilidh is an AKC Breeder of Merit, AKC Bred With H.E.A.R.T, members of the Collie Club of America, Collie Health Foundation, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast Herding Group Club

Our Foundation

We have based our line around several lines and dogs that possessed virtues we wanted to build upon and combine into a single family. Our pedigrees are built through endless study and the generosity and experience of those that came before us.

Our line and type is heavily influenced by two dogs we bred in the 2000’s, Chanel and Robin. Both were one-in-a-million dogs that embodied and produced the virtues that we strive to maintain and stamp.
