Bob and Alison welcome you to their Homepage.

We are a small kennel of twelve  dogs, based in Derbyshire, U.K.

It all started in 1984 when we bought our first Border Collies.  Then someone said you should show that Tri colour bitch.  This bitch was Cories Kalli.

Our journey in dog showing has become a way of life .which has been very rewarding we have tried to breed a  type of border collie that we like and that judgers would also like.

Over twenty five  years we have produced many litters.  Not only top winning show dogs but also a crufts winning fly ball dog who is one of the fastest dogs at fly ball in Europe.  We have also bred reliable sheep dogs, fast agility dogs, obedient dogs, field trials dogs and great couch potatoes that love the tele.

What a time this has been, and many of our dreams have come true.  Thanks to all the judges and well wishers!  It just shows what a small kennel can achieve. 

All our breeding stock is health checked and DNA clear from TNS, CL and CEA  and Unaffected from Glaucoma ,We also hip score and breed from dogs with good temperaments. 

2010 has been a very successful year for us.  We now how 2 new show champions in Micra and Porsche.  Saxo became an agility champion and Avenses became world champion at HTM.  Qashqai also registered on merit by ISDS and passed the KC herding test.  Many other littlethorns have also succeeded in their fields this year too.  Lets hope next year brings even more awards.
