Hi! My name is Cheryl Yasenchack, and I would like to welcome you to Northern Light's Collies. I live on a small farmstead in central North Dakota with my daughter, Alyza, and my son, Gabe. Together, we enjoy the wide open spaces, clean air, and beautiful sunrises and sunsets of this spectacular state.

My love affair with collies began many years ago, when I was just a young girl playing on my cousin's farm. They had two beautiful collies, and I think each of us secretly believed that they were our own special 'Best Friends'. These collies were loving, gentle souls, and always ready to put up with our childish antics. Never a growl...never a nip...and certainly never a cross word!

They would endlessly follow us, patiently watching us and protecting us with their natural herding instinct. When they felt we had strayed too far from home into the endless acres of farmland, they would start barking nervously, and dancing around in circles, begging us to follow them back home. For some reason, we always took their advice.

Many years have passed since spending time on my cousin's farm, but I have never forgotten the special bond I felt for their collies, and I have remained in awe of this spectacular breed all these years.

Our goal at Northern Lights Collies is to produce collies that are sound in temperament and health, as well as possessing exquisite beauty. We don't provide people with a family pet...we provide them with a friend for life, which is what the collie truly is. This is a breed of dog that is unsurpassed in it's ability to love, and their compassion for their family. Their devotion and loyalty is unquestionable. They are gentle in nature, adaptable to most any environment, are accepting and caring of other pets, and are a wonderful companion. This is a truly exceptional breed and I would love the opportunity to share them with you!

With Warmest Regards,

Cheryl Yasenchack
