Hello and welcome to the Darahill Collies...

We are a small kennel, dedicated to the Health and Happiness of our lovely family of collies and puppies,
only producing a few litters to improve our blood lines.
It all started about 26 years ago, with the sables producing some show winning collies gaining CC and RCC's.
The sables then took a back seat for quite a while, then came along our beautiful blue merle bitch
LUSHA MONA LISA at DARAHILL. bought from Valerie Magee [Lusha] in 1994.

COTON DE TULEAR
[The Royal Dog of Madagascar]

Sometime last year, 2005, a little white dog came into our lives, Valerie having done some homework on the breed brought in
COTONKISS DANCING DOLL WITH DARAHILL

"Pebble's to her friends...She has brought Valerie a lot of love and joy, and joy for me to handle in the ring. Pebble being a natural show off, has done well in the ring so far winning RBB Birmingham National Champ Show and the Puppy Stakes [1st Day] Windsor 2006, also a few Best Pupies along the way.

A brief history of the Coton.
The Coton De Tulear is a very old breed originating on the Island of Madagascar, which lies in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Africa. Tulear is a Port City on the South Western coast of Madagascar.
The Coton is a small white dog, one of the "Bichon" family and cousin to the Maltese, Havanese, Lowchen, Bohognese and "Bichon Frise". They were introduced into metropolitan France from their land of origin by breeders and exhibitors in the 1960's and 70's.They are going from strength to strength in the UK. As from January 2006 the breed will be able to compete in Breed competition, there will be scheduled Coton De Tulear classes at several Championship and Open Shows during the year and the Coton will be seen competing for Group placements.
Ultimately in 2007 Coton De Tulears classes should be scheduled at Crufts and some of our European exhibitors will join us in competition.
