Jedford Collies is located in Laggan, regional NSW (50 minutes from Goulburn via Crookwell).
Our collies live with us as family members and have acreage to run and play and enjoy being outdoors.
Our love of the collie commenced from having pet rough collies as children, to finally owning a show quality rough collie, Ch Foxlorein Jazzabelle (Jazz), who was quickly joined by Letchworth Electra Guide (Quinn). These girls were to be the foundation for Jedford Collies. While visiting Kathy Fox at Foxlorien Collies, we first saw a smooth collie and were impressed by the athletic body type, majestic outline, cheekiness, confidence and yet still having all the qualities of the rough collie. The decision was made that we would have a litter and keep a smooth collie pup. We mated Quinn to smooth collie CH Jencol Devil May Care (Chevy) and unbeknownst to us, Chevy was a pure for smooth and Quinn surprised us with a litter of 9 very robust smooth collie pups. From that litter we kept Logan, CH Jedford Lone Pine, who gave us 2 litters, one of 11 pups and the second of 10 pups to Ch Seaview The Jazzman. The rest is history and we now have bred a total of 10 litters, with both rough and smooth collie pups now living with families that have returned over the years to add another Jedford Collie to their family. Many of these families have become lifelong friends and we value them in our lives.
We only breed a litter every 2 to 3 years, and only when we have a waiting list. Our next litter is planned for mid-2025 and possibly late 2025. Our dogs are part of our family, with lots of space to run and enjoy life. They are involved in conformation, dog sports and family activities. We concentrate on temperament, health and soundness in our breeding program. Our dogs are health tested, DNA tested, hip and elbow scored and eye tested.
