Glenlee Border Collies

This is the site for Jean and Richard Tod who have owned collies since 1984. 

Jean has trained all of our dogs over the years, initially at obedience, then agility from 1989 and latterly has been interested in clicker training and heelwork to music.

Our first 2 dogs, working sheep dogs, called Samwise and Mithril, were trained to do obedience and reached the beginners standard.  These 2 mated and in July 1989 a litter of 4 puppies was born and they kept a bitch called Magic.  Then in 1989 I saw an advert for dog agility classes and this has been my main hobby ever since.  I worked Magic for a few years and she was sedate and gentle and good to train.  She unfortunately had to retire from agility at the age of 10 having suffered from a rare blood disorder.  She is however still a very lively dog at nearly 15 years of age and enjoys her life as the matriarch of the family.

In 1995 Jean wanted another collie for agility and went to Judith Gregory a well renown breeder in the Bristol area.  We were then the proud owners of a beautiful “Tonkory” bitch called Callie and she has turned out to be the most loving dog we have ever had. 

When Samwise and the Mithril died within 6 months of each other in 1998/9 we decided that another border collie from breed lines was what we wanted.  Our latest bitch Keara also a Tonkory was born in April 2000. 

Both Callie and Keara (pictured above) are doing well at agility and Jean has trained them both at obedience to Good Citizens Gold level.  Keara also did a year of heelwork to music training before we moved back to Scotland.

Keara was mated in March of this year.  To see more about Keara and her puppies please click here.
