Welcome !

 
 

Welcome on the site of the Collies of the Holy Mountain. I wish you a pleasant visit of my site where I tried to express through words and photos all my love for this beautiful breed …

 

At the “Of the Holy Mountain” kennel we select and breed rough collies for correct type, temperament and health! We have the aim and ambition to breed »True Collies” as close to the FCI standard as possible.

A true collie should »appear as a dog of great beauty, standing with impassive dignity, with no part out of proportion to whole. Physical structure on lines of strength and activity, free from cloddiness and with no trace of coarseness. His temperament should be friendly with no trace of nervousness or aggressiveness.

We breed all three colors: sable white, tricolor and blue merle.

Our breeding strives to breed the type of dog that is as close as possible to the FCI standard, because every collie should still be physically and mentally capable to perform the work he was bred for that is sheep herding!

Most our dogs are imported from abroad (France, United Kingdom, Poland, Hungary), as we give a great importance to the origins and health status of our dogs.

We test our dogs for genetic diseases for which genetic tests were developed. When selecting our breeding combinations, we give priority to type, health and balanced temperament. All our dogs must pass the Test of Sheepdog Natural Aptitudes as it was proven that dogs with a strong herding instinct have a more balanced and sound temperament and are therefore better for breeding.

We participate to a lot of show throughout Europe …

we train agility, obedience…

But what is essential for us is that our dogs and their owners are happy and satisfied together.
