Les Colleys d’en Haut is a dream that has come true. We have been toying with the idea of starting our breeding for a long time, loving the breed and all its facets. Convinced that we could highlight the family potential of the Collie, we jumped into the adventure with both feet.
After much research, we selected an ethical and conscientious breeder to find our first Collie. The future breeder of our breeder, Leslie arrived at our house in 2021. Her gentleness won us over and reinforced our idea of promoting the breed. She was able to prove her value to us by offering us a first litter of 12 puppies in 2023.
Bo joined us in 2022. This gentleman will be the breeding male of our breeding.

A dog with an intelligent, gentle, affectionate, patient and protective temperament, the collie makes an excellent companion dog.
