 I was brought up in a very animal loving environment, lucky to know the compassion and love which mans best friend could bring.
I spent a long time researching, thinking and planning before I took the steps of making contact with Margaret Harrison, I am sure fate brought me Brodie (Cariadhaf Crazy Dream). He was made for me. My heart dog, and the ultimate companion. I was lucky to find myself someone who is always there, willing and caring to help me on my journey and in turn becoming a very good friend. One year on I brought Bella (Cariadhaf Cookies and Cream) home and this was the beginning of Cambrogan.
Brooke (Cambrogan Blowin A Hoolie) is my first home bred rough collie. She is my everything. Like her parents she has obtained her good citizen gold award, at a very young age (just 1 year old). Brooke is a very eager to please and extremely loving girl. We dabbled in agility and Brooke in just 3 competitions won herself into grade 2 and soon after found herself in grade 3 with her agility bronze warrant before injury brought early retirement. I started obedience with Brooke in 2026 and once again she won out of the starting grade pre beginners and into beginners in just 3 competitions at beginning of the season in April 2026.
Barra (Cambrogan's Blissful Barra) is Brookes daughter and she arrived in 2024. Within a year she had obtained her kennel club good citizen gold like the others and started competitive obedience, joining the rough collie obreedience team Diamonds in the Rough. We competed at Crufts 2026 as a team and came 4th from 10 teams - quite an achievement. Barra has placed consistently in competitions and at the first competition of 2026 she won the kc good citizen stakes class which places her in the Crufts 2027 final. Both girls are now active on the obreedience team.
A repeat mating between Brodie and Bella produced Abby : Cambrogan Lady of Loch'aber at Cariadhaf 1CC. Abby resides with Margaret and is fondly known as the special girl. Abby places consistently well at championship shows and in April 2026 took her first CC with BOB under breed specialist Morag McCarte , Roughrigg Rough Collies. A real dream come true for me, and a rather emotional moment for everyone.
My dogs all show, enjoy lazy days and very active days, munro bagging is one hobby of mine and Brodie retired in 2025 at age 10.5 after bagging 90 of Scotland's highest mountains. Brooke and Bella have a substantial tally also. They all swim and find great joy in the great outdoors. We have even been on tv, featuring on BBC alba Cù Leis Thu? A Puppy for Pàdruig.
I believe rough collies can be adaptable and enjoy any life you offer them. For me I like a mixture of very active hobbies and chill time on the sofa with cuddles and from my dogs. We travel the country for holidays and generally just have a lot of fun.
I have so far bred 4 litters. Good temperament is extremely important to me. All puppies leave well socialised and ready to adapt to their new lives ahead. I maintain great relationships with many of the families, having meet ups where we can.

Brodie is an energetic, athletic young dog with a love for life, other dogs and people. Every day with this boy is a pleasure. He has had a fairly pleasing start to his show career, consistently placed and gaining many first places.
Brodie had BOB at Upperward of Lanarkshire Open Show and at The Collie Association Championship Show in November 2015 a first in junior dog going on to take the Reserve Challenge Certificate at the tender age of 12 months and 12 days. It was nerve wracking and emotional.
I was honored to receive an invite to The British Collie Club Rough Collie of the Year (below) after gaining this reserve ticket.
Brodie also qualified for The Scottish Collie Club Collie of the year due to gaining an admirable number of show points.
2016 has been a quiet year for Brodie, with the addition of Bella and the trials and tribulations of the first coat blow but there are a lot of plans in the pipeline from the summer onwards.
