"Temperament, Soundness and Beauty"

Bhyllsacre Crème Caramel JW: Vonarkle Victoria at Bhyllsacre [Mum]: Bhyllsacre Lady Madonna JW

"Hello" and welcome to our "new look" website.
We hope that those of you who are familiar with the old site will appreciate our efforts to refresh and update the existing format.
Newcomers will still have a "potted" history of the kennel, scaled down to give more space for our current activities.
Yes we have so many proud memories of the successes of this small kennel, having two Crufts' Best of Breed winners,
namely the incomparable

Ch. Bhyllsacre Querida Mia [1982]

Ch. Bhyllsacre Golden Gem,
repeating this success in 1997.

Rene has also had the honour of judging at this great show in 1998 and looks forward to judging Smooth Collies there in 2008.

Mia was mated to Bhyllsacre's most renowned stud dog
BHYLLSACRE ALL IN GOLD

This successful mating produced two Champion bitches, Bhyllsacre Mia'ly A Dream and Bhyllsacre Mia'ly Golden. Our current lines
go back directly to these two bitches, with a string of Champions, C.C. and Res. C.C winners along the way including
Golden Gem and Ch. Ria'ly Famous at Bhyllsacre.

CH RIA'LY FAMOUS AT BHYLLSACRE

Golden Gem gave us the C.C. and Res. C.C. winning male,
Bhyllsacre Dark Cavalier

and a New Zealand Champion in the same litter, while Ria'ly Famous is responsible for the very successful sable line of the Vonarkle Kennel.
including Ch. Vonarkle Gold Dust [his son], Ch. Vonarkle Viceroy and his granddaughter

Vonarkle Victoria at Bhyllsacre [2C.C.'s & 6 Res. C.C's] Victoria herself has proved to be a valuable brood bitch, having produced two successful daughters, namely Crème Caramel and Lady Madonna.

BHYLLSACRE CRÈME CARAMEL JW

BHYLLSACRE LADY MADONNA J.W. 2 R.C.C's

In 2006, "Donna" achieved the Ladypark Points Trophy for the top winning puppy in the breed, plus a similar award from the "Our Dogs".

We hope to continue producing winning stock from these bloodlines, giving extra attention to temperament and soundness as well as beauty,providing Collies of correct size and construction. We also welcome genuine enquiries from people who simply just want a healthy loveable pet. But beautiful enough to draw admiring glances!!

We are pleased to announce that Bhyllsacre Lady Madonna is in whelp to Ch. Lin gwell Lone Piper.Puppies expected Crufts' week!

In 2003 we introduced a blue line to the kennel, namely
STOKEDALE SOLITAIRE AT BHYLLSACRE

After enjoying a successful puppy career, she retired for maternal duties.
On re-entering the ring she qualified for Crufts' show for the following year
and we were pleased when she won a very strong class.
We look forward to showing her later in the summer.

Bhyllsacre Midnite Dreamer [ Ch Lynmead Lust in the Dust x Stokedale Solitaire at Bhyllsacre} "This is our latest picture of Bhyllsacre Midnite Dreamer, who has matured well enough now to give her a few airings before she decides to change her present outfit [along with Lady Madonna] With just two forays into the showring, she has won her class on each occasion. Many thanks to Sue Phipps [Britich Collie June Open Show] and Tracy Wilkinson [National Working & Pastoral Breeds Ch Show] for recognising the qualities of this lovely bitch".

Here is a picture of our latest puppy, Bhyllsacre Creme Anglaise - or "Arran" as he is known to his friends. This picture was taken at 81/2 months of age.

Our stock and their descendants have achieved considerable success abroad, particularly in Russia, France, Spain,
Holland, Denmark, Sweden,Norway, New Zealand and Australia. In fact most places where good Collies are found!!

Wolverhampton's local newspaper, the "Express and Star", recently sent Reporters to interview Rene,
