Rough Collies are important to Tina’s life. When Tina was growing up, she had a Rough Collie named Max, who was her best friend. He would watch TV with her, lay beside her when she was doing her homework, and love to play. Max was highly intelligent and affectionate. A true companion!

​

Kevin’s experience with dogs comes from when he used to show Newfoundlands and Rottweilers, both of which earned many conformation awards such as Best of Breeds. Not only that, but his Newfies held US and Canada champion titles and many awards in the International Weight Pulling Champions.

​

Together, we decided to become Rough Collie breeders, which built Northwest Collies. Our goal is to work with our Collies to improve the breed. Everyone has either grown up with a Collie or knows someone who has grown up with one. We would like to make the Collie breed popular again by showing how Collies are dependable companions.
