Canderside Collies and Shetland Sheepdogs

The Canderside Rough Collie kennel was first established in 1969. Little was heard from the Candersides between 1979 and 1985 due to a change in domestic circumstances and Aileen Gemmell's increased involvement with Shetland Sheepdogs. Since this time Canderside has become better known for its association with shetland sheepdogs although the rough collie has always remained a firm favourite. Since moving into North Barbeth Farm near Ayr last year, the Canderside dogs have settled well into their new surroundings and are looking forward to challenging visitors to a race around the paddock.
All Collie and Sheltie lovers are always welcome and Scottish Shetland Sheepdog Rescue supporters - both old and new - are especially encouraged to come to visit.

Here are a few of our favourite sites:

  • A link to the Scottish Collie web site. Aileen is currently acting Secretary for the Scottish Collie Club.
  • this links to the official Ayrshire Collie Club web site which is full of information about the club, its activities and contained lots of photos of show winners and members' dogs. Well worth a visit.
  • this link will take visitors to the English Shetland Sheepdog Club home page. This is very informative site for anyone interested in the shetland sheepdog and contains information on ESSC branches, their activities and also displays the illustrated KC breed standard for the sheltie. You can also purchase ESSC Club products from this site. Contains a number of useful links to other sheltie related sites, including breeder sites.
