WELCOME

We are one of the World’s leading kennels of ROUGH COLLIES.
We were the first kennel in the breed to win more than 100 Challenge Certificates in the UK, and now it is more than 180, and more than 100 Reserve Challenge Certificates have been won by our dogs in the kennel. With his win CH Corydon Trump The Lot became the fiftieth Corydon UK CC winner and also the twenty seventh UK Champion. Corydon Pol Roger became the 51st CC winner at Darlington Ch Show. Then Ch Corydon Clarissa became the 52nd winner of a CC when she won at the London & Provincial Collie Club’s last Ch Show in September 2023. She then became our 28th UK Champion when she won her third CC at the Yorkshire Collie Club Championship Show in September 2024. Corydon Christopher became the 53rd CC winner when he won the Dog CC and Best of Breed at the LKA Championship Show on the 13th December 2024. He has now become our 29th UK Champion by winning the Dog CC at The National Working & Pastoral Groups Show on the 12 July 2025. Corydon The Baronet became the 54th winner of a Corydon CC when he won at Richmond Ch Show on the 6th September 2025. We have now won 180 Challenge Certificates with dogs based here.
104 CORYDON’S have become CHAMPIONS in 26 different countries.
Many of them have multiple titles
We have also bred 4 World Show Winners
And bred 13 International Champions. And they all have at least one parent bred by us which I think is truly unique.

I have written an article on learning about pedigrees and genes. I wanted to make a very difficult subject more easily understood. I can send it by PDF to any interested in it. Please contact me on johnjcorydon@gmail.com

I have written a very large number of bitch lines. I have found at least 30 bitch lines that go on for more than eleven generations. This is more than the sire lines for the two most productive sires in the breed. To see them go to Articles then to Bitch lines. If anyone reading them can add further details please contact me as I am always adding to them and finding further lines.

For those who are interested in the breed and want to learn more we have a book on the Crufts winners from 1891 to 2000 and DVDs on the breed and on grooming a Rough Collie. Go to the Education page to learn more.
