"Yaless Blue collies"

Welcome on the pages of Collie rough kennel Yaless Blue

we are young hobby kennel, established in 2009. For future we would like to enrich slovak breeding with producting typical puppies, with big emphasis on health, character and balanced exterier. We would like to specialize to breed blue-merle and tricolor collies.

I love collies since my childhood but I became serious interested in the breed around 1999 when I started to watch what is happening in the collie world and also to visit dog shows. In 2001 I created the information pages about breed. It was the first Collie infoportal in Slovakia. Currently I´m a secretary and webmaster of "Slovak club of collie and sheltie breeders".

After a long years of waiting to suitable conditions, we imported in June 2007 a beautiful Rough Collie female - blue-merle coloured "Zaria Rineweld The Princess" (Yaschka) from the Hungarian Kennel "Rineweld". After many years it was the first blue merle import to Slovakia. But our joy did not last long...however, unfortunately at September 11, 2011 our Yaschka left us at the age of only 4.5 years because of genetic kidney disease called JUVENILE RENAL DYSPLASIA.

There will never be one like her ! She will forever remain in our hearts as our first and most amazing collie. She missed us every single day...

So, let me say a few words about our Yaschka. Her mother was a beautiful bitch: "Rineweld Awantgarde At Sheewena", very successful show and brood bitch. She was daughter of famous, Elite A reproducter in France - ICh Narwick Silver Blue De Cathyja. From the father side she have in her pedigree "Nyitramenti Scooter Black".

Yaschka was an exceptional personality. She turned many heads around. She was a wonderful partner, friend, such a dependant, which you have always on heels. Her exterior was charming, but for us - the most important was her character, loyalty and love that she gave us every day. She was proud and majestic - active and self-confidence. Always and everywhere the first. She was very clever and always willing to learn new things and so we used to do the obedience training and dogdancing. Her favourite activity was hiking. She was the first collie in Slovakia, which was actively doing the the competitive dogtrekking. But the greatest love of our Yaschka was the water. She took advantage of every opportunity to take a bath. She has also a strong herding instinct - she has successfully passed the herding instincts test - as the first Rough Collie in our country. Thanks to her sports activities she became a TOP WORKING COLLIE 2010. This title would be she won even in 2011...

Despite she does not like the dog shows, she has on her account quite a decent collection of titles and championships. She became also a 4.TOP COLLIE 2008.

Yaschka has learned and gave us a lot. Also, thanks to her - we have now the clear direction of our future...

In January 2012 we made our second import from the famous french kennel „Du Clos de Seawind“ - we have brought new blue-merle hope "Grace Kelly Blues du Clos de Seawind" (Grace). In her pedigree she leads currently the most quality french tricolor and blue-merle lines „Chemin des Randonnées“, „du Clos de Seawind“ and „du Clos de Montamer“. Little Grace is our handful girl and she make us very happy. We will see what future holds to us.
