ALL ABOUT CAPRIOARA
I am the breeder of the Caprioara Collies my name is Pat and sitting here with me are on my right is the tri girl Jet. On my left is the blue merle Captain. All my rough collies go back to these two, so together we three are the founders of the Caprioara collies
I have been breeding and showing Rough Collies for over 20 years now. I have had some success in the ring, but I show my dogs for fun, as both they and my self enjoy it. I now have a young lady Georgie Moore who has also been bitten by the showing bug, she shows both in the breed rings and also in the handling rings, she has had a lot of success in such a short time. Both Georgie and myself co-own some of the collies. the collies are great show offs, and enjoy being the centre of attention, but there favourite pastime is running and playing which they do most days, they really enjoy life.
This website is possible because of Catherine , she is the one who does the admin here at caprioara , she is the lady I share the farm with and Georgie older sister , without her this would not work. Catherine also owns cola who is on this website and she has been lucky to have 2 beautiful litters from her.
All my adults are DNA tested which we here at Caprioara feel is of the most importance, we do this to try and improve the health of our dogs. And we have used collies from other parts of the worlds to improve the genetic makeup of our collies. You will find the information on each dog on their own page.
Most of the pups are sold as pets and enjoy a variety of fun pursuits, like fly ball and agility. Puppies are always sold with a contract and to approved homes, as the home for my puppies is of the most importance. I do have a waiting list for pups so please if you're interested please contact us.
I also have stud dogs in the three colours again all have been DNA tested that you might like to use ,if this is the case please contact us and pedigrees will be sent on request.
So please take a look at our Caprioara mob and feel free to contact us , the collie family are fit for life and fit for function, they are the typical classic old fashioned type of yesteryear . All the dogs are loved to the moon and back, so come and look have a browse around our site we have a news/blog which will be updated weekly.
Caprioara how did I come up with that name
Years ago "during the war as uncle Albert used to say lol" I started breeding German Shepherds and so I needed a kennel name (Affix) I racked my brains for ages and couldn’t think of something unusual and what would stick in people's minds. I tried an anagram (look at me at me posh words) and after a lot of paper throwing into the bin I came up with it using my name Patricia and my birth sign Capricorn there for Caprioara, Barry (my other half) doesn't say Caprioara he calls if crappy dogs lol.
It is also Polish meaning of Deer which live mostly in woods which is very adapt really as we camp out most of the year around the shows and are used to living in caravans in the open spaces, so there you are the small story behind the Caprioara name

INTRODUCING O'MORDHA
I wish to introduce myself I am Catherine Moore and I am the big sister of Georgie who shows Patricia’s collies, and I am the one who does the admin here at caprioara.
I have been around animals all my life, I have had rabbits, birds , fish, pigs, horses , cats and dogs . I went to college to study animal care which I gained up too level three, but when uni was to much money for me and I needed a job I applied to do art and craft for a hour a day at my local care home , when i went for my interview I must of done something right as i walked away with a full time care job , after a 2 week of training I was put to work and a year on I become senior care , I loved the job but as you can guess its very hard work and stressfully.
I started my life with dogs at a very young age , my mum had a rough collie when I was young his name was Nookie (yes I have heard all the jokes) he was a very dark mahogany sable, it hit my mum hard when we sadly lost him. I had my own rough collie at the age of 15 his name was Bear another sable boy who sadly only lived until 9 years old , after losing him we waited a long while until we got another
All most 6 years ago we saw an advert for a blue rough collie puppy boy, after we had been searching for over two years to find one , so we travelled all the way from Wales to Essex to buy this boy, mum named him Pacer and that’s how we met Barry and Pat, we became friends with them and then after about a year we heard that pat was very ill she had spent a year in hospital suffering with cancer, she had had many rounds of chemo treatment and was in need of a quiet peaceful place to get better in, so we offered them to come and live with us including her dogs, we sort of adopted them, so for the past 4 years we have lived as one family.
Georgie wanted to start showing the dogs for Pat and I became involved , my partner Ant bought Cola from Pat for me as a gift, she is the one that has started my O'mordha line, So now I I have bought 2 more girls one tri and one sable so we will see what the future holds.
me and pat came up with this web site together and hope that you all like it.
O'mordha how did I come up with that name
To those who know me know my grandad was and still is my world , so when it came time for choosing a affix I wanted something that would honour him , i got thinking and i know my Grandad family come form Ireland and so set out to find a Irish Gaelic word, it was my mum that ask what Moore, my Grandad last name was in Irish Gaelic , when i looked it up it was O'mordha so I applied on the kennel club and got accepted so that the story behind my Affix.

ALL ABOUT OUR PUPPIES
We here take great pride in how we raise and nurture our puppies. I have been using the same methods for over 30 years and as the saying goes if it isn't broke don’t fix it . I know I use old fashioned ways but then I am an old girl.
Our pups are weaned roughly around 3 or 4 weeks old depends on how many in the litter, I use whole goats milk for them as this has lots of calcium which is needed. I feed raw as that is the same as in the wild "What not cooked I hear you say, well no as dogs are descended from the wolf and they don’t have cooked food" . I use raw mincemeat, raw tripe, raw chicken wings as well as scrambled eggs and rice pudding. I always add bone meal once a day and I give tinned puppy food with a complete biscuit , plus tins of sardines in oil to add variety so that all new owners have the choice of what to feed them and change whatever they wish.
For treats I use raw carrots ,cheese, cooked sausages and liver cake, sometimes I give store treats for puppies and also raw chicken wings or thighs. I always make sure they have clean fresh water that is a must.
I keep the puppies here longer than some do because I feel it is of the upmost importance that the little ones have a chance to mix and mingle with the adults dog so they can get the idea of how to be around them and used to some dogs snapping at them or pushing them away that is so once there out in the big wide world they speak doggy language.
All the pups are born in our home and stay in doors till there about 4 weeks old then they go outside for a few hrs a day increasing the time out as they get older. They always have access to their mums for as long as mum wants to be around them.
When the pups are ready to leave us here, they go with puppy packs
THE BREEDERS PRAYER
I knew from day one not every puppy could stay, preparing them for life took many hours of each day.
I love every minute watching them develop and thrive, helping them discover the world fills me with pride.
The weeks are numbered, never enough time, I worry , even though I know the puppies will be fine.
I trust YOU with this puppy and hope you understand, I handpicked you, and expect you to follow the plan.
Continue to provide new experiences each day, never stop training your puppy, and always include play.
I will never forget my puppies and will always be here, please provide them with the best, for the rest of there years.
No matter how long ago your baby was here , NOT staying in touch is my biggest fear.
