Hi, does anyone know of a breeder who still breeds the bigger collies ? A lot of the collie dogs i have seen look almost the same size as the bitches. Thanks.

Try here http://www.wizardscastle.lu/collie-breeder/brooklynson/

Thankyou very much , will give them a try .

You're welcome.

Rough Collie dogs should be between 22"-24" at the shoulder.  Bitches should be 20"-22", so a big dog could be as much as 4" taller than a small bitch. 

God, that site brings back memories.  Remember going to Derek Smith's with my mum many, many years ago to mate a dog :d

The Clickhams used to be nice. ;)

Thanks val, i can now ask that when i contact breeders. and will look at clickhams too.

steven, Clickham is in partnership with Brooklynson now.  You'll see that they are different to most other Rough Collies in this country because a lot of their stock is imported.

Thankyou for that info , you have been a great help .

Guess what breed I have had for 21 years?? ;) 

Ha Ha , i'v had the same for 22 years ! at the mo i have a ugony coming up to ten and is loved very much , there is no other breed for me .

May Young has long gone, but that name has given me another idea if that is what you're looking for.  Email me on val@hanvale.com and I have another name for you!

Hi val, i have found your web sight, but when i tried to e-mail you all i got was error , so as im not very computer litrate, i will get my elder son to help when he wakes up ! Andrea

Hi Val , i have e-mailed you !

All sorted.  Hope that you find what you're looking for!  Good luck with your new family member.:)
Pleased to have helped.

Hi there, just looked at the rough collies you suggested, they are lovely . Thank you very much .

I have 4 collies and my oldest one lassie is coming up to 10 which is quite worrying as well.I also have 2 pups who are rough collies but collies are said to live up to about 14 so no worries yet.

Hi there, my charlie is starting to show his age now , but i hope to have him a lot longer. He is my fourth collie and my others only lived until 11. That's why i'm starting my search now .
