Chanel & Dona at the Nationals

My pride and joy, Ch. Ceilidh's DeepRiver Haute Couture (Chanel)  is in whelp to Ch. Deep River Hobby's Moonwind (Al).  She is due to have pups on August 13-14.  We are hoping for a great litter.  Chanel was final consideration at the 2010 nationals with an Award of Merit under Judge Carl Williford, and BOV at the Alabama speciality on Memorial Day Weekend under Judge Bill Brokken.   Can't wait to see their puppies.

Welcome to Ceilidh Collies. My name is  Micha Ann Elliott and I have been breeding and showing collies for the past 12 years. My love of Collies began in my childhood through the popular Lassie stories and the books of Albert Payson Terhune. When I was a teenager I became the proud owner of my first collie, a tri-color female named Sheba.  From that moment on collies have been my first love.  However, it would be many years before my dreams of breeding collies became a reality.

Once you own a collie..... you just want more and so Ceilidh Collies was born.  Ceilidh (kaylee) is a Gaelic word meaning "a gathering" which I thought was a perfect name for a kennel of herding dogs. Read through my blogs and see the wonderful dogs that I fell in love with.....past and present.  Updates will be coming every month!

July 1st

Chanel has been bred (on June 14) to Ch. Hobby's Deep River Moonwind.  I am going to know in 10 days if she is in whelp.  Hopefully she is.  Meanwhile her mother (Ch Marko's Sweet Temptation)  is also in season, and I decided to breed her one more time.   One litter is just not enough for such a beautiful bitch.



Lyric and Shakira will come this week for R & R  and to await their new coats.  Lyric will do some herding at the CCA regionals in October and then go back to the show ring to wow the judges (or not).  Shakira will also return to the ring when her new coat arrives. 

My new camera takes great pictures so visit the available to see new photos of Versace.
