Our goal at Hidden Orchard Farm is to produce attractive, smart, companionable old-time collies like the farm dogs of yesteryear -- dogs whose instinct and drive is balanced by good temperaments and sensible natures. In bygone centuries, every farm needed a smart, hard-working dog to guard the home, help manage the stock, ward off vermin and predators, and serve as a companion to the farmer and his family. The same qualities found in the well-rounded farm dogs of the past help make Hidden Orchard's old-time collies perfectly suited for the farms, homesteads, and families of today.
