Hello, I'm Marina, and welcome to my website. My partner and I live in a small village in Oxfordshire, are both animal lovers and have always enjoyed having pets.
In 2001 our lives changed when we bought our first pedigree Border Collie from a breeder. Her kennel name is Tarrynden Aces High and I named her "Acia". She's a magnificent pet, great company and has enriched our lives so much that we decided to expand the family.
Two years later we bought a male dog, Arniston Independence Day or "Arnie". He was born on July 4th and is the most loving and affectionate dog I have ever met. Whilst both being pedigree animals from a line of show champions, they are both perfect pets.
Both have been obedience trained and "Acia" enjoys her agility training that we give her in our garden. Since then we have started to breed with Acia having one litter in 2004 and another in early 2006.
"Acia"s daughter "Alice" gave birth to her first litter in August 2006 - please see link to litters page.
But whilst we enjoy breeding we also pay great attention to ensure that all of our dogs go to good caring homes.
All of our dogs are Kennel Club registered, hip scored, eye tested, TNS tested, and all extremely well cared for with a good home and lots of love, country walks and occasional holidays. I do not have TNS carriers in my line.

"Arnie" was born on July 4th - American Independence Day - hence the name. He started competing as a showdog at the age of three and has now qualified for Crufts in two successive years. Arnie comes from a long line of show champions including Caristan Moet Chandon (father), Miraje the Storm Lord (grandfather) and Caristan Cointreau (grandmother).
He has a wonderful loving temperament. Not at all aggressive. An outstanding pet. Very obedient and always willing to please.

"Alice" was born on July 10th, 2004 and also comes from a line of show champions including Miraje the Storm Lord (grandfather) and Mobella Winter Glory (grandmother).
Alice is keen on the active duties of chasing a ball and stick and also loves "Flyball" and Agility.
She had her first litter in August 2006 - six lovely boys - sired by "Arnie". I now have a second litter of three boys, also sired by "Arnie".
