Still our most famous "champion" is PELIDO BLACK PRINCE, even though he only ever won 1 res CC, "Blackie"was the most gentle and sweet natured dog,with wonderful bone and substance,beautifully sound and a very Black coat.

We are prepared to take our collies back at all times should the owners circumstances change. The registered charity Collie Rescue Rough and Smooth have been aware of this for many years and have been most helpful. Each puppy goes to its new home with a contract to this effect. We consider it our responsibility as Breeders to provide help when needed.
The furthest we have have travelled to bring our dog's home, is to Rome in 1986, when the owner of Hot Chocolate and Blue Bayou died and we went and collected them by car.

We have both judged at Championship level and have officiated at most of the Collie Club Shows. We were the first Husband and Wife partnership to judge our breed together at Crufts in 1994, and have also judged in many countries overseas. I judged Rough Collie Dogs at the World Show in Amsterdam in 1995. I have also judged Smooth Collies at Championship Show level, to include the British Collie Club, also a record entry at the Smooth Collie Club of Great Britain. The World Show in Budapest in 1996, and Crufts in 2010, my Best of Breed winner was second in the group. I have been approved by the Kennel Club to award Challenge Certificates in 6 breeds, plus the Pastoral Group. In 2006 I judged Australian Shepards at Crufts when the breed had CC's on offer for the first time. I gave B.O.B to AM.CH.CAITLAND ISLE TAKE A CHNCE. He went on to win the group from Steve Hall, and Best in Show under Brenda Banbury.A truely magical day. 

It is our intention to continue breeding collies of the same quality as those collies featured throughout this story. With this in mind, the collies purchased over recent  years have not only brought in freash blood, but also have maintained this standard. Pelido is featured in all of their pedigrees and is indeed also behind many of todays top winning collies.
