Welcome to SnoValley Collies! We are a small hobby kennel and our name “SnoValley” is short for “Snoqualmie Valley”, which is where Terry’s and my love for the Collie began back in the early 2000's. We outgrew our home in North Bend after adding a fourth Collie to our family so several years ago we moved to southern Issaquah (30 minutes east of Seattle), to a perfect Collie retreat nestled in the scenic foothills of Tiger Mountain.
My
love for the Collie began as a child; my Aunt had a number of Collies,
who ‘raised’ their three children. The Lassie series also helped nurture
that love. It wasn’t until much later in life Terry and I found our
first Collie “Emily", Belfair Ribbons & Lace, from our now lifetime
friends, Alene Evans and her Mother, Pat Becker.
While working on Sophie's Championship we also showed our first homebred
Champion, "Teddy" to his Grand Championship. Once Sophie became a
Champion, Terry worked diligently in agility,
obedience and herding training with “Teddy”, guiding him to qualifying
for the Collie Club of
America Versatility Excellent award! Two of Teddy's grand daughters are
out there excelling in the performance world!

and her trainer and companion Tanya Ward are the Delaney 1st Novice B Collie and Overall Top Obedience
Collie for 2017! Congrats to Tanya, Isis and Linda Ward!
We're so proud of you!
As a result of our shared passion, Terry and I are dedicated to doing
what we can to contribute to a bright and healthy future for the Collie.
We are committed to breeding healthy, beautiful, good natured and
intelligent Collies.
If you are considering adding a Collie to your
family feel free to contact us to find out about our future plans for
litters and/or if we have a Collie available that might fit with the
needs of your family. If we don’t, we'd be happy to refer you to other
breeders who might. Our litters are raised in our home with an abundance of human love and interaction throughout the day. The puppies will have their Eye Exams at 7 weeks old, at 8 weeks a Well Puppy Exam, by our very thorough and knowledgeable reproductive Vet. They will have their first set of shots, will have been de-wormed 3 times, and come with a health guarantee and AKC registration. Here at SnoValley Collies our dogs, are our "furry kids" and they spend a good deal of time with us both indoors and outdoors each day. Our lives revolve around them and their pups of course are our “grand puppies”. Socialization of our pups is very important to us as we find it helps to create a confident, self-assured foundation and encourages them to be motivated to please. The pups spend their first several weeks in the house in our family room/kitchen area and are held and interacted with often throughout each day. Once they are big enough to move into their larger playpen run, we start to take them outside to their puppy yard multiple times a day, weather permitting. This really helps to usher along the potty training process as we find they really prefer to wait to be let outside rather than soil their wood shavings run. We fill their puppy run and yard with lots of interactive toys, including tunnels, stairs, wading pool during the Summer months (all sorts of fun toys). We continue to hold and interact with them until they leave us to go home with their forever families.
It's an understatement to say Collies are a wonderfully sweet breed. Calm and ideal indoor companions yet active and playful outside. Don't let the coat fool you, contrary to what many assume, they do not continually shed like many breeds. They also do not require frequent bathing and are not 'stinky' dogs! We love to take our Collies to the beach and no matter how much wet sand and dirt they end up 'wearing' after a good wet romp on the beach; it all comes out once they dry an hour or so later. And we don't even need to rinse them off! The correct Collie coat resists dirt. Collies are excellent family dogs as they adore people, especially children and other pets. Fun loving and devoted, your Collie will be most happy when with you, their people. If you’re looking for a wonderful companion dog, a Collie is one of the best.
