We have been very lucky to import some lovely dogs from Cathkin kennels in Australia starting with our tri boy NZ Ch Cathkin Lastinimpression (Imp Aus) who made a very lasting impression on us and he sired our first home bred champion Ch Lastin-Blaize of Collievale.
The last couple of years has seen us consolidate on our other imports - NZ Ch Strathaven Maker of Dreams (Imp Aus) (Atlas), NZ Ch Cathkin Pretty Spectacular (Imp Aus) (Xena) and NZ Ch Cathkin Lordy Miss Maudie (Imp Aus) (Maudie). Most recently we were lucky to be able to bring Aus Ch Cliffglynn I Met U Inmy Dreams and have just had his very first pups here at Collievale.
The future looks bright for us at Collievale and we have a lot to be thankful for with the help people have given us. Visit our website to see what we are up to.
Puppies have arrived! Expressions of interest being taken now. See our puppy ad.
Have been showing Rough Coat Collies since 1985,when our first boy joined us in our family.In 2011 I imported an Ingledene Bitch from the famous UK Kennel ,and together with my Braemist boy from a top New Zealand Kennel my line was started.Just bred my 2nd litter which has some exciting breeding behind it.
Next Litter Planned: Unknown
We brought home our first Rough Collie in 2020 and 2 more followed in quick succession as we fell in love with the breed.
Passionately showing our dogs, we have titled all three of our bitches as New Zealand Champions, with them each achieving Bronze Merit.
Our first litter was born June 2023 and we are enjoying having a bitch, Delta, we retained being competitive in the show ring, giving us our first home bred Champion.
A dog, Avicii, has also achieved his Championship title and is now having success in the ring as a neuter show dog, having also gained his Neuter Championship Title.
Our dogs all have full breed genetic health testing carried out and are only paired to fully tested dogs that compliment their genetic health to improve the breed.
We are excited to announce Ch Pembrokehill Made You Look (Delta) is expecting her first litter, due November 2025.
I had my first dog Sam coming up to 11 yrs young who is a tri-coloured rough collie. He is from a reputable breeder in NZ. I came to know collies after loads of research and believe I have found the one. Sam is the best dog I would ever ask for. After 5 years we were able to have Sofi who is a girl from Sam's litter sister, then another 3 years later, we had Simba in planning to keep Sam and Sofi's line in our family.
We love this breed so much and would do everything to protect them, and find homes that truely deserve such amazing companions. This is not a business for us and we have not been showing due to lifestyle choices.
We take every step in breeding carefully and seriously, and do the right thing. Therefore, all our pups will be fully papered including genetic testing, and transparent with the information only for those who seriously consider a collie in their life.
If you would like to get in touch about the possibilities, you are always welcome to email and message, and we are happy to share any information we have about the breed.
I am excited to announce we are expecting pups, due Aug 23rd. Pups will be ready for their new homes from the beginning of November (10 weeks old).
This is an exciting pairing, first litters for both sire & dam. Daisy ‘Valegro Dragonfly’ is a superb collie with a perfect temperament - “Friendly disposition with no trace of nervousness or aggressiveness. A great companion dog, friendly, happy and active, good with children and other dogs.” She is a wonderful family dog, quick & eager to learn, extremely athletic & agile. She is a nice correct sized collie at 24kgs.
Ochre ‘Ch Tyronelea Lindt for Valegro’ is our Australian import, genetically clear from all inherited diseases, with a fabulous temperament, near perfect hip score & big coat. He is a large correct sized collie with an equally as large personality!
This litter will all be CEA unaffected carriers, and DM / MDR1 clear or 1 copy. Sable / Shaded Sable / Tri colour pups possible (no merle). All pups will be registered with DogsNZ/NZKC and under strict NO BREEDING contracts.
Our puppies are raised using the Puppy Culture protocol, and will be well socialised with many people, all sorts of dogs, cats, our parrot, chooks, ducks, goats & horses, and novel stimuli.
Most Valegro collie families stay in touch regularly in a messenger group, providing updates & much needed support. We would love to have new families join us.
Located in Whenuapai, Auckland.

Rough Coat Collie - a breed combining elegance, intelligence, loyalty and a gentle temperament and nature.
We have had Rough Coat collies in our lives since 1985 and currently have four imported (2 girls and 2 boys) in our show/breeding team.
These four dogs are all fully DNA, Hip scored and Eye tested as are any dogs we use for breeding to ensure the breed standard is maintained through any breeding.
Our aim is to improve the availability of extended genetics to the breed in the available breeding stock in New Zealand and to provide structural sound dogs with true collie temperament.
Periodically we have puppies available for purchase and we maintain a list of prospective owners.
