Hello, I'm Marina, and welcome to my website. I live in a small village in Oxfordshire, have always been an animal lover and enjoyed having a variety of pets.
In 2001 my life changed when I bought my first pedigree Border Collie from a breeder. Her kennel name is Tarrynden Aces High and I named her "Acia". From the moment I caught site of her at about five weeks of age it was a life changing experience. I am now fully committed to the Border Collie breed through the joy of watching all of the dogs grow up and become part of the family. She's a magnificent pet, great company and has enriched my life so much that I decided to expand the family.
Two years later I bought a male dog, Arniston Independence Day or "Arnie" from Tina Fisher (Arniston). 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.
They have been obedience trained and "Acia" has enjoyed her agility training in the garden, although she is now enjoys amore sedentry pace to life as she reaches her autumn years. I started to breed with Acia having one litter in 2004 and another in early 2006.
"Acia"s daughter "Alice" whelped her first litter in August 2006 - please see link to litters page.
But whilst I enjoy breeding I also pay great attention to ensure that all of my dogs go to good caring homes.
All of the 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.
She has now had two beautiful litters and all the puppies have gone to good homes. I keep in regular contact with the new owners and request news and photographs for my pleasure and my family album!

"Bonnie" is our little star. Very energetic, fast and extremely playful. She always competes with "Alice" for the ball. Thankyou to Tina Fisher (Arniston) for this exceptional bitch.
"Bonnie" settled in well with our other dogs although she has a strong personality and this shines through in the pack.
"Bonnie" had her first litter - five puppies - in 2009, sired by "Arnie". All puppies found happy loving homes.

"Arnie" was born on July 4th - American Independence Day - hence the name. He started competing as a showdog at the age of three and 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. 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".
