   13 years ago we added a beautiful Black and White male Border Collie to our family. His name was Moystonhill Midnite Fire (Coop). He was the start of our addiction to the Border Collie breed.
Coop was a fantastic puppy and grew into the most intelligent dog you could ever meet. Fate was to set in though, and Coop only lived to 2 years old due to a hit run driver out on his morning run with his Dad.
We had fallen so much in love with his temperament that we had already ordered another puppy from the same breeder and were due to get him a few short weeks after Coop's death. Moystonhill Ducati (Topper) was Coop's nephew and he joined our family and helped heal the grief of losing his uncle. Topper passed away on the 22nd November 2005 and was 9 1/4 years old, a Border Collie with a personality that astounded!!. He is greatly missed every day. Neither of these boys were ever used for breeding. The start of Jordyalan Kennels was all due to the love we had for the family members that they became, so a few years later we started our journey. Berringama Wandas Coco (Coco) our beautiful foundation bitch was first to arrive, she produced the loveliest litters we could ever have asked for during her breeding years. We also added a Blue and White male Bert to our family, he is our stud dog here at Jordyalan Kennels. Now our new chocolate bitch Elsa has arrived, she is to become our kennels new Dam for the future. We are hoping to add some more colour to our kennels if possible, without ever jeopordising our beautiful temperaments of course. For The Entire Story On

 July News Hello Border Collie Friends, Welcome to July!! Wow where has that time gone??. Already Bert & Belle's beautiful babies have left home and gone to live with their new forever families. It was really hard to say good-bye to this litter as they were just so perfect and totally adorable. Our Elsa is growing up so fast too, we now have a full blown teenager on our hands!! she is testing us all out to see if she can be boss of the house. Fortunately for me my husband Tony is the boss of the dogs at our house (they walk all over me, I am sure they must think that I am just another canine living in the house). The latest Jordyalan news for July is that our new store is opening in a few days!!

On a personal note my health at the moment has taken a massive dive (for those who do not know I have a Muscle Disease called Mitochondrial Cytopathy, which is under the Muscular Dystrophy umbrella) the pain is the main problem, and as it is a non- treatable, non- curable disease we just treat the symptoms as they arise (I rattle from the drugs I have to take!!). I am house bound and using my electric wheelchair at the moment and sleeping more hours than you would ever want to know!!. At least if I am feeling up to getting up, I can go onto my computer and share with my web friends my web-site and adorable dog family. They are what keeps me going (that and my family).

Our Story started in April 1995, this was when I added a beautiful Black and White male Border Collie puppy to my family. His name was Coop,and he was the start of my addiction to the Border Collie breed. I had fallen so much in love with Coop's temperament that I had already ordered another puppy from the same breeder before the accident happened. So we decided as a family that we just had to still take him, especially since he was from the same bloodlines and we called him Topper. Topper was Coop's nephew and he joined our family helping heal the grief of losing his uncle, making it just a little bit easier to get through. So as time passed and our Topper matured and he turned into such an adorable dog, it only made me realize even more that what I really wanted to do with my life was to start breeding and showing Border Collies. Yet another curve ball came though in 1999 when I was diagnosed with Mitochondrial Cytopathy (a Muscular Dystrophy). This is a non curable, and non treatable muscle disease, so my life as I knew it was gone forever. As my disease progressed and my marriage collapsed because of it, my children and I knew that if I was ever going to fulfill my dreams I was going to have to do it on my own. But fate once again stepped in, and in early 2004 a wonderful new man entered my life and we married that September. Even though with him knowing fully well what the future would hold for me with my disease, he made it very clear that we would get through it together and my dreams could still come true. So as my birthday present in 2004, I was given an adorable female black/white Border Collie puppy from my new husband, and I called her Our beautiful Topper passed away on the 22nd November 2005, and was nine and a quarter years old. He was absolutely a Border Collie with a personality that astounded everyone!!. He is so greatly missed every single day. We then purchased a Blue/white male Border Collie called Bert in late 2005, who is our stud dog here at Jordyalan. He sired two of In December 2007 even though I know I am getting worse, we decided to get a new Dam for our kennel now that Now in 2008 as the severe muscle pain and lethargy is progressing at a fast rate, and my mobility has been severely affected. I can sit back in my wheelchair at any outing or event, and watch my husband or friend running my dogs around at an obedience trial or a dog show. And I can still feel just as involved as ever, even if someone else has to be my legs!! I truly feel blessed to have been able to fulfill my dreams, despite having such a severe disability.
