I am Di Chaplin and live in the West Midlands with my family of Border Collies.
Apart from Quirk, Broon and Rumpus all are either Canen, bred by Shirley Bell, or their offspring whom I have bred under my affix of Diagemtas.

Josh was the first of my Canen line and I was so pleased I went back for Reba, Fenix, Kada, Boo and Spook. Although they all have their own characteristics the one thing they all have in common is their good temperaments and their willingness to learn.

I occasionally have puppies for sale so if you are interested either check puppies page or if you would like to be added to my mailing list please contact with a few details of yourself and activities you propose for your pup. Just walking is not enough as although they need exercise they also need stimulation to keep their minds active. Priority will be given to active homes.

All puppies I breed are dual registered and parents are health tested. Details of my dogs are on their individual pages. They are raised in the house to get them used to the hustle and bustle of everyday life and have lots of different visitors giving them cuddles  so they get used to being handled. Every pup is handled with love and affection daily from the day they are born until the day they leave.

Because they are bred from strong working lines pups are best suited to active homes as they do not make good couch potatoes. I have the welfare and happiness of both the dog and owner to consider as a bored dog is one who will find his own enjoyment doing something that I am sure the owner would not like. I do politely turn people away if I think that they could not offer a pup a suitably active life as I want both pup and owner to have a happy and permanent relationship.
