Brambly Mountain's Old-Time Scotch Collies


The Scotch Collie is truly the original farm dog. Today we can find value not only in their abilities as a working dog, but their qualities and traits lend themselves fabulously to life in the home as the family dog as well as excellent candidates as service dogs. Highly intelligent with a strong desire to please, they are easily trained for a variety of situations. As a landrace breed, our desire is not to preserve them for similarity of appearance, but instead with a focus on health, temperament, and character.

Meet Lucy
Named after one of our favorite characters from The Chronicles of Narnia, Lucy is a special girl. We brought her home from Holbrook Homestead in SC in December 2020. She has been a dream ever since. Her quiet temperament with just enough spunk to play and keep our 7 children safe. She's never far from any of us. She prefers the outdoors and keeps a constant watch on the hillside in front of our home, overlooking the garden. Her biddability and level of training at a young age far surpasses any other dog breed we have had. Intelligence and the desire to please are strong characteristics. She has been a fantastic mama to three wonderful litters!

Meet Zeke
Goshen Highland's "Kep" out of GA, was a recent addition to Brambly Mountain in November 2024. We used a good ol' mountain name in honor of our Appalachian roots. Zeke is the future of our pups! We have loved his stability, confidence, bright and energetic spirit, his curiosity and intelligence. At just 8 months it is impressive how far he has come in his training. He is attentive and focused. We believe he is going to be a great farm and family dog!

Meet Sadie Cove
All the way from Lanz Hollow Farm in CT, "Queets" is now Sadie Cove, named for one of our favorite bays from our old home town in Alaska. Only a few months old, we have been so impressed by her sweet and loving personality. She is attentive, biddable, confident and intelligent. We love her bubbly personality and the fact that she'll settle down for a nice snuggle. Can't wait to see how she continues to develop!

Sire: Windspun's Kepper

Meet Hamish
This handsome boy is Windrush Farm's Alistair and is owned by Christy-Lynn Clevenger of Ivy Creek Collies. Hamish has sired 3 of our litters with Lucy. He is an invaluable resource for their farm and family and has recently become quite the hunter and keeps their land rodent free. Aside from his valuable farm presence, he is a loving addition to their home and family. We have also had Hamish stay with us on occasion and he has a personality anyone would fall in love with.

Our Program

Puppy Culture is at the heart of our breeding program, along with other supplemental resources. Here's an intro to the Puppy Culture program. And if you're interested in why we chose Puppy Culture, visit our blog post here. From the moment the puppies are born they are neurologically stimulated and enrichment exercises are carefully chosen to create emotionally stable, mentally and physically strong, biddable puppies. They will be well socialized and ready for a variety of home, work, and service placements. Around 3 weeks of age we begin to introduce new objects, change the environment, introduce people (strangers, elderly, kids) and other dogs (puppy & adult) to expose the puppy to as many new experiences as possible! Here is the list! Outdoors (when weather permits), structures, climbing, touch desensitization, toys, grooming desensitization, household desensitization, socialized with other animal (farm animals, cats, dogs), manding, puppy temperament evaluation, surface and tactile stimulation, initial house training, scent introduction, and noise desensitization.
