Smooth Collies are officially a Kennel Club British Vulnerable Breed, although numbers are steadily increasing due to more people coming into the breed over the past few years. 

Smooth Collies, not "smoothies" as many refer to them, after all would you call a Rough Collie a "Roughie"?  Smooth collies are complete all rounders making wonderful companions and /or enjoy a more active life in Agility or even obedience.

If you wish to find out more about this lovely breed please visit the Smooth Collie of Great Britain web site www.smoothcollieclub.com

I live just outside of Ripon in North Yorkshire, less than 11 miles from where the Famous Peterblue Kennels to which the Breed owes much were sited.
 
After almost 30 years of owning Rough Collies and an assortment of other breeds I finally sucumbed to my wish for a smooth with the purchase of Lilymead Amazing Grace, (2 CC's 2 Rcc's) in 2005.  

Having always had a passion for Horses, ponies and Foxhounds, then latterly my Miniature Donkey Herd, owning the most sucessful Championship winning Herd in the Country (www.minidonks.co.uk) I have always been a fanatic about breed type and movement. 
I firmly believe one cannot really just learn correct conformation, you either understand it or you don't.  I apply the same principles to all the animals here at Sunley Raynes, good heads and eye appeal, strong conformation with the movement that this should give.
 

My Smooth Collie family is steadily growing though quality rather than quantity is paramount, we occasionally have quality litters,  see puppy page.

It is my intension to breed quality, healthy collies which will take Top honours in the showring and make their mark in the breed as well as great pets  !
