Home of conformation, performance, and companion Collies. Kelstrin Collies are Puppy Culture Breeders. All puppies are trained and given a choice from birth.

Kelstrin Collies was established in 1974. After a lengthy hiatus while we raised our family, we are now resuming a passion, which has remained constant throughout this period. We are located in the beautiful foothills of Southwestern Pennsylvania. In the spirit of hospitality we welcome you to visit with our beautiful rough collies and us. We are a small quality hobby/show breeder and our dogs are

raised as part of our family. We strive to produce quality dogs in accordance with the Collie Standard as written by the Collie Club of America with good temperaments and are well adjusted for the breed ring, performance and as faithful companion dogs. Good temperaments and intelligence are hallmarks of a well-bred collie, and we strive for these characteristics in all of our breedings. We socialize our puppies from birth, affording them opportunities to interact with adults and children. They are puppy temperament tested on the critical 49th Day. The 49th day is the ideal time for the puppy aptitude test to be performed. On this day, the brain waves of the puppy are the same as a mature dog, but the puppy is a clean slate. If the puppies have been properly socialized, the test is a reliable measure of the puppy’s suitability for whatever role in life they are expected
to fulfill. This also helps the breeder place the puppies in acceptable homes. Our companion and performance dogs are sold with an AKC limited spay/neuter registration. The AKC Limited Registration is in compliance with the Collie Club of America’s Code of Ethics. Your puppy will be eligible for all AKC Events, Performance and Competitions with the exception of conformation and breeding rights. All puppies we sell go to their new home with a “Puppy Packet,” This packet consists of the following information: puppy’s health records; health guarantee; pedigree; copy of the spay/neuter contract between buyer and seller; a sample of the food puppy has been eating; packet of pertinent information; and a piece of a blanket with Mother’s and littermates’ scent. Kelstrin Collies will also provide a lifetime of breeder support.

At Every Dog Nosework, we believe that this sport is the best dog sport ever made! But with competition, comes the potential to place more on winning than anything else. This sport is fun to compete in and we all want to do well, but the true beauty of this sport is not the ribbons- it is the bonds....

Taking a break from working on Estate Planning Documents from our attorney. A big beautiful tri dog I had 34 years ago, call name "Banner." He would backpack with us (between dog shows). A couple of times other hikers saw him on the trial and were startled initially thinking he was a "black bear." He was a great dog and lived a long life.

One of the best dog training/behavior books I ever read.

What an honor to have The Other End of the Leash, which first came out twenty-two years ago, named as one of the best dog training books of 2023 by Spruce Pets. I’m so grateful!

There are a few phrases that really push my buttons. When talking to trainers, the one that will always get a reaction from me is "I had to." It very often turns out there were other options available.
