We are Alan and Helen Hards who currently reside in Newark and have done since the year  2000. We lived for 30 years in the Highlands of Scotland.
Our involvement in Bearded Collies started in 1996 when looking for a new dog to do working trials. Contact was made with Denise Barley who kindly sold us a bitch Runival Runespell( Corrie) at the same time, Denise introduced Helen to dog showing and needless to say, Corrie was high jacked to the the showing scene.
Denise bred another litter 6 months later, from which we purchased Runival Loch Na Keal( Ross) and Runival Loch Ba ( Skye). Sadly Ross passed away at the untimely age of 5, but Skye went on to become our foundation bitch. In 1998 we obtained our affix of Braemoray, and in 2000, having tired of travelling the long distance to the shows from Inverness we relocated to Newark. In 2001 Skye produced our first litter from which we kept Braemoray Benvannoch (Isla).
In 2003 Skye produced her second litter, this time we kept a dog, Braemoray Summer Sunrise (Archie) who has gone on to become our first champion.

In 2007 we had back one of Archie's sisters by the name of Sorrel (Braemoray Summer Dream at Mizzentop) on loan and she produced a litter. This time we kept a bitch who we named Rowan (Braemoray Isle of Gigha) she has been shown throughout the 2008 year and have delighted with her results.

Rowan continued her winning ways and in May 2011 gained her title becoming our second home bred champion.
