I am the extremely proud owner of Glasgowhill's Myth Buster and Canadian Champion Glagowhill's You Do Voo Doo. Not only did I fall in love with a puppy but I fell in love with a two year old as well after a wonderful visit at Sandi's home! When Voo Doo became available, I just had to have her in addition to little Myth! The two of them are now great companions with the Collie I already have and my family could not be happier with our Collies! We call them 'Three's Company" - two gals and a guy! It's a very happy household and the Collies make us laugh each and every day! Our trips to Kincardine to visit Sandi and her Collies were nothing but amazing! I have never seen so many happy, healthy Collies and thriving litters and proud, healthy and well cared for Moms! Sandi is very honest, is willing to answer your questions and is a true lover of this breed. Her work is amazing and I have already learned so much from her! We first seen Myth at five days old! We made additional trips to Kincardine, truly enjoyed these wonderful visits and were absolutely ecstatic when we learned that Myth was coming to our home! This boy is too beautiful for words and both he and Voo Doo came to live with us on December 27, 2009. This was a very exciting day that I will never forget! In all the years that I have had Collies, I find now that even my vet is very happy for me and truly excited. That says so much! He and I have been through alot together with this breed that I have truly loved for so many years. Sandi is my mentor and confidant and we enjoy many hours of 'Collie talk' together. I am so looking forward to what the future will bring as Sandi and I talk of things to come. Sandi is truly a breeder that welcomes 'newbies', she is always there for you, provides guidance and encourages you to make your own decisions. I consider myself very lucky to have found her! Sandi is making my dreams come true. Actually, I am still in amazement that the things I have wished for - for so many years - are now actually starting to happen! Anyone considering the purchase of a Glasgowhill Collie is most welcome to contact me and I encourage you to do so. My email address is irvinesm@rogers.com and you may call 705-487-2996 - you got my home number! Please leave a message for Sharon. If I not available, I will get back to you as soon as I can. I always enjoy talking about Collies! And please....be prepared for a long talk! There is nothing that provides more enjoyment than talking about our Collies!

My name is Vie Nystrom and we live in Hudson, Quebec. My husband Bill and I lost our beloved Lady in September 2008. Lady was a rescue and was the first Collie we ever had. She absolutely changed us from dog lovers to Collie lovers! When we found out she was terminal we couldn't imagine not having another Collie in our lives so we started looking for another rescue thinking it may take a while. It wasn't about price but wanting to give another wonderful dog a forever home. Thankfully because of wonderful breeders like Sandi who insist in their contracts that their dogs must be returned to them if for any reason they must be given up, we were unable to rescue a Collie from any local shelters! We also didn't want a puppy and female was our preference because of Lady. A local breeder here in Quebec told us he had heard that a top breeder in Ontario "Sandi" had a female 10 months old come back to her. We looked up Glasgowhill collies and were impressed by the references and the website as well as all the absolutely magnificent dogs she has produced. Then we saw the picture of "Rumour" aka ( Glasgowhill's State of Mind ) and it was love at first sight. Sandi interviewed us over the phone and we were very impressed by her knowledge and concern over what type of home her dog would be going to as well as her genuine sympathy over what we were going through. On our first weekend off we got in the car headed for Sandi's. May I say the drive ( 9 hours there and 9 back!) was worth every minute. Sandi felt like family from the minute we met her! It was hard to leave with just one Collie!! Rumour is everything we had come to expect from the breed and more. She's beautiful, smart, loving and a complete ham!! But thanks to Sandi we have a healthy and wonderfully tempered beautiful new family member. If you're considering a Collie and like us were lucky to find Sandi and Glasgowhill Collies you will not be dissappointed. Thanks Sandi!

Here at BlueCollar Collies,my small breeding program is dedicated to the preservation of the Collie as working stockdog.To be a part of that program,a dog must possess the instinct,intelligence,structural soundness,and biddable temperament necessary to work livestock every day.After several years of searching for the right outcross and complement for my tightly-linebred male,I chose Glasgowhill,for several reasons.Many of the Glasgowhill dogs come from lines noted for herding instinct.Kennel owner Sandi Hamilton employs a rigorous battery of health and genetic testing to ensure that the Collies she produces are sound,healthy representatives of the breed she loves,able to pass their outstanding quality on to future generations.All of the above,plus the "look"that I love,came to me in a puppy named Glasgowhill's Claim To Fame.At 21/2 years of age,"Alec" has already exceeded the expectations I had for him.With very limited trialing,he has earned his first AKC herding title,and 2 of the 3 legs needed for his second.Along the way,he has attracted attention and earned praise from some of the best-known handlers and trainers in the Collie herding world. Having been so pleased with Alec,when the time came for that special brood matron,I looked to Glasowhill again.I will be forever grateful to Sandi for allowing me the privilege of owning my once-in-a-lifetime perfect girl,Glasgowhill's Prima Donna.Both dogs came to me in excellent condition,with all necessary paperwork. Perhaps the best compliment I can give Sandi is to say that my Raff,aka Lochranza Lionheart PT,is currently standing at stud at Glasgowhill.For me,Raff is and always will be THE DOG.I would never allow him to stay with anyone in whom I did not have absolute confidence and trust.So,for anyone considering the purchase of a Glasgowhill Collie,I would be happy to prvide a referral.

We met Sandi and Jim by accident searching the internet for answers as to why our beloved sable/white rough collie "Ruffie" could have left us so soon. He was so very ill for the past year having cluster seizures and was diagnosed with having the MDR1 gene by Washington State University. When I first spoke to Sandi, she knew so much about this gene and took the time to speak to my husband and I in great detail about our Ruffie. We missed him so much and her kind words were sensitive, caring, and immediately we felt re-assured that we had done all we could to save him. I remember thinking to myself, we only just spoke a few moments , yet a friendship was developed that seemed like a lifetime ago. Sandi's true desire is for her collies to be strong and healthy...just what we were looking for! Someone who cared as much as we did about a member of the family.
We saw a picture of a tri-color rough collie on Sandi and Jim's website and fell in love at first sight. I am very pleased to say we are the proud parents of Glasgowhill's Winning Jacks ... aka "Jack". Jack is the epitome of health! When you lose someone like Ruffie who meant so much to us, you are amazed when this new pup enters your life

It is wonderful to know a breeder who cares more about the health of her collies than about how many champions she has. Oh yes, Sandi has champions, she has many, many, champions but also extremely healthy, happy and well tempered collies. The main health issue in collies is collie eye. Sandi, through her knowledge and breeding, is creating not only champions but she is producing normal eyed and normal eyed non carrier champions. This is nothing short of amazing. Sandi recently lost a very dear collie friend (Mick). Our deepest sympathies to Sandi and her family. Although Mick passed on quite young, he was lucky in the fact that he experienced what many animals never experience and that is love. Sandi trully loved Mick. Many animals never get to experience the love that Sandi has for her collies. If anyone wonders why Sandi has collies all over the world, just take a look at her Website. Sandi's collies are stunning! Sandi is amazing! Thank you Sandi for all that you have done to improve the majestic collie breed and for sharing your knowledge and accomplishments with us.

My name is Adrianna Rogers. I am a dog trainer in southern Ontario. I am pleased to say that I have one of Glasgowhill's collies in my home. As a trainer and pet owner, I have come across many dogs with issues, who poorly fit into their new homes or just dogs who unhealthy or flawed in some serious way. Sandi has made great strides in producing collies the way they should be. Healthy - first and foremost. Amongst breeders, she has distinguished herself in this area. No one is perfect, but Sandi will not knowingly breed a poor line and will stand behind her breeding's rather than fob off a client with downplaying a problem or blaming environment. Secondly, and as a trainer, the dogs that I have seen and my own beautiful Image, are mentally sound. I have rarely been so impressed with training and temperament of a group of animals as well as an individual dog. Sanid will only place a dog in a home that she feels is appropriate for her dog, and she does know her stuff. Her collies are the way collies should be. If more breeders were like her - it would be a different dog world indeed. If you are considering purchasing or breeding with one of Sandi's collies, I would be pleased to speak with you.

Tribute: I believe I meet Sandi through destiny. I had always wanted a Blue Merle Collie. At the time I meet Sandi, I already had a Sable. He is a poor example of the Collie standard, although he has many characteristics of a wonderful Collie pet. My daughter happened to be searching the internet one day, anxious herself to have another Collie in the house and came across Sandi's web site. We knew by looking at her Collies' they were truly beautiful representations of the breed. I don't remember exactly how we connected, but soon my husband and I were off to Canada to meet Sandi and the Collies.! That was a year ago. Since then I have a beautiful female Blue Merle Collie. Her name is "Ask and Receive". The name is appropriate, since I believe I met and have one of Sandi's Collies through a higher power then my own. Sometimes one can see the purpose of someone else's life and the gifts that they possess. Sandi's gift is breeding Collies that truly meet the Collie Standard. What makes her truly devine is the fact she shares her gift(s) with everyone who likes and loves Collies. I am truly blessed to know Sandi. She continues to offer me her guidance and friendship. Thank You Sandi!!!

We have a handsome boy named Blizz and I can tell you he had the best Mom in his most important puppy stage. If you get the chance to get one of Sandi puppy's it will be the best dog anyone could ever have.If you want to call us with questions just do so anytime but just a visit to Sandi home will answer all the questions will all the kindness she gives her Collie Dogs. When we go on long vacation Sandi takes care of our Collies she is part of our extended family. My phone number is 705-429-8114. Do hope you will enjoy your new puppy if you decide on a Collie from Sandi. Best Regards Pearl
*******************************************************
I would just like to begin by saying that you couldn't have found a better breeder. She is very open and honest, and willing to take the time to address any questions you may have about the breed itself, or a particular pet.
She is one of the few who takes her dogs' health as being of primary importance. So, you can be sure that you will not regret choosing her as a breeder. She is focused on the animals for their own sake, and ensures their well-being.
In looking for a collie, we were extremely particular, and spoke to numerous others before coming across Glasgowhill. There wasn't much debate, since her dogs clearly stood out. It is quite the distance for us to travel there, but, truly worth the trip.
When we finally brought home our sweet Jake, he was more than we could ask for. Intelligence, health, looks, personality- everything someone would want in a companion. He's now 15 months, and we are grateful for him each and every day.
In a matter of days, we will be picking up our second companion from her, and know that she will be just as wonderful.
Anyway's, I hope I have provided you with enough information that you may need. Please feel free to email me back if you have any other questions.

I don't own a Glasgowhills Collie, but I am very familiar with Sandi's pages and her breeding plans. I would recommend Glasgowhill to ANYONE who could possibly have the luxury of traveling to the kennel and seeing these dogs for themselves. I have followed five litters online. I would love to adopt ALL the pups in ALL litters. My sister is the more fortunate one in our family because she has TWO Glasgowhill Collies (Glasgowhill's Robbie Burns and Glasgowhill's Oliver Twist). I have 'met' Robbie and hope to 'meet' Oliver soon, since he is from one of the litters that my sister and I followed from conception! One can tell by looking at the pictures that ALL the pups are healthy and bred to standard. One can also tell by looking at the grown up dogs, that Sandi IS all about dogs, ESPECIALLY collies. Most unfortunately, this is NOT true for some alleged breeders that post on the internet. By the way, buying a pup, especially a purebred, online, is NOT recommended by any reputable person who is an animal lover. I would encourage a prospective client or buyer to 'follow' litters-regardless of where they come from. It is true that anyone can have a dog that has puppies, but the care and feeding of those puppies begins with the care and feeding of the grown dogs and ALL of Sandi's dogs get absolutely EXCELLENT care, from the time they are pups until the time that they go to 'forever homes'. Not only would I recommend Glasgowhill to anyone who was prepared to get a pup, but I would recommend two of the breeders who have also written references for this page. IF you are an animal lover, especially if you are a dog lover AND MOST ESPECIALLY, a collie lover, you definitely owe it to yourself to travel the distance to Kincardine! Sincerely, Jacqueline Bailey tex8@onr.com

Hello Fellow Collie Lover, I will start with Sandi herself, since she IS Glasgowhill Collies. Her warmth, honesty and integrity are her most outstanding virtues. Her willingness to help you through puppy times and later is well-known. She is willing to offer you her dog care knowledge whether you have a pet, an obedience or working dog, or a show dog. She has never hesitated to give an idea or tip to help you out. I have five Glasgowhill Collies, and am thrilled with them all. Temperament of them all is superb, and physically they are beautiful and conformationally correct. Sandi offers the best of her breeding efforts to you, and is knowledge and up front about her bloodline. In your quest for a Collie, Glasgowhill is a great place to end. The Collies are healthy and happy, with decades of quality behind them. I should mention that I co-own two of my Collies with Sandi, and the arrangement has been pleasant and hassle-free. Feel free to contact me and I will answer any questions that I can. Your friend in Collies, Peggy

Hello, I will try and be brief. Upon looking for a collie pup I spent close to an hour on the phone one night with Sandi at which point I decided I would not go with any other breeder. Her thorough knowledge and expertise came with a refreshing sense of integrity. Little did I know i was being interviewed as well as establishing a client relationship which is extremely important to Sandi. Now for the animal, her name is Julia she is now 8 months old. Her temperament can only be compared to Gandi, as we have not yet even heard her growl or get upset. She is extremely intelligent and breezed through obedience, health is excellent and quickly adopted us as her family. I would highly recommend Sandi and only Sandi for collie breed integrity whether your goal is show or adopt a friend. If we can be of further help to you do not hesitate to contact us.

Hi, My name is Darlene and I live in St. Thomas. A couple of years ago my W/F tri collie Schiloh passed to Rainbow Bridge. Had no intention of getting another. Looking through the Dogs in Canada book of course I was looking at the collies and came upon a picture of "Dude" He looked so much like my Schiloh I ended up going to the web site to see what was there. I checked many sites but didn't see anything that I liked and kept going back to the Glasgowhill site. I told Sandi about my loss and she understood that I wasn't ready for a new pup, but one picture of a w/f blue merle kept pulling me back to the site. Needless to say three weeks later my friend and I were on our 2 1/2 hour trip to pick up my boy. Not once have I had any regrets. Magic is truly magical. He is the perfect collie in temperament, conformation plus so much more. His love for my 3 year old grandson is uncanny. Never takes his eyes off him when they are outside. I have never seen Magic show teeth or growl when they are playing. He has turned into a handsome young two year old and know that I didn't make a mistake when I brought him home. He is very socialable with other dogs in the Park. His health is perfect. He is everything the Collie should be as I have had collies all my life. We have another Glasgowhill Collie in St. T. Julie fell in Love with my pictures of Magic and wanted one just like him (he is one of a kind) She got a female tri named Keeley. She is running true to the breeding of Glasgowhill. I would not hesitate to buy another Glasgowhill Collie and if I can give you any more info please e-mail at (dusti16@ execulink.com) and I will answer any questions you may have. Dar.

...Sandi's collies are top of the line in my opinion. We got our pup "Glasgowhill's She's a Keeper" (Keeper) from Sandi the Fall of '04. Keeper is our 6th collie over the years since the late 1970's. We don't show, just keep them as beloved pets and members of the family. Our older collie Skye needed a buddy and we needed some puppy ness. Sandi is always very up-front and forthright with her clients...she tell's it as she sees it and is very honest. We live about 10 minutes from Sandi and often drop Keeper off for overnight stays when we are traveling or for grooming. Keeper looks forward to those visits almost as much as I do. It gives Keeper a chance to run and play with some of her family and extended family in the huge outdoor fenced areas. Also, there's nothing I love more than being surrounded by collies and collie pups and when I need a fix, Sandi always welcomes me in for a visit. She keeps her collies in very clean environment at all times and when the mom's have their little ones they are always in the comfort of a cuddly spot in the house. She's also taken me with her to a dog show when I had said I'd love to experience one. She goes the extra mile for her clients and her collies I find. I know I can pick up the phone or send her an e-mail if I ever have any questions, concerns or need advice. I've attached a photo of Keeper and me when she was a pup on a visit at Sandi's and a picture of her last April...her coat is even fuller and more lovely now. If you go into Sandi's web site and look at Divine under the "girls", Divine Design and Keeper are sisters...as you can see Divine is now a champion. I am scrap booking an album on Keeper and did a lot of research on the Internet into her lineage...very impressive with lots of American and Canadian champions in her bloodline...even though Keeper isn't for showing, she's a beauty and very healthy ...I can't go for a walk without someone commenting on just how very beautiful she is. I agree. You can't go wrong with Sandi and her collies in my opinion. Hope this helps you in your decision. Cheryl and Bill Subject 1044 North Street, Kincardine, Ont.

Sandi is a fabulous breeder. She regards those who purchase her babies as life-long clients. When my Robbie (Glasgowhill's Robert Burns out of Tricounty Goldrush and Braemar's Twist of Fate) was new to us, I kept in regular contact regarding puppy-raising and collie"ness". Of course, that also means if through some disaster you are unable to keep your pup, Sandi will take care of that pup for you. Once you work with Sandi, there is a network out there. Sandi doesn't like her babies to "board" just anywhere, either. So, Sandi we Glasgowhill dog people help each other out, if we can. It's all about the dogs. When one works with Sandi, it is important to know it is ALWAYS ALL ABOUT THE DOGS.
She will let you know if you are wrong. She will let a vet, trainer, prospective client, existing client, any other breeder, or even a judge know when she believes them to be wrong, too. She will stand up for her dogs. She will help you learn to stand up for your dog, and do right by dogs in general. She will stand up for people who stand up for dogs. She doesn't offer the same protection to people who treat dogs as objects, an accessory, or as little humans. She loves dogs for what they are, and for what they can be and for what people and dogs together can do.
When I took my Robbie-boy for his first vet visit when we brought him home -- do that -- the vet was VERY IMPRESSED with the bone on Robbie, his easy, warm, spirit, his brains, his trusting nature, complete set of health papers, and that Sandi volunteered -- as she always does -- to discuss any matter with the vet. There are many weak, sick, unfortunate "collies" out there.There are defensive, dissembling, and well -- lying -- breeders out there. Their dogs show their breeders lack of character. Not Sandi's dogs. They are strong, happy, and ready for anything. They adore humans because of their careful breeding and early patterning.
Sandi's show wins probably come because she is relaxed about showing. She knows she makes beautiful dogs and she's been around the dog world long enough to know that there will always be another opportunity to win, so she does not compromise on her breeding program for the sake of a point or two here and there.
She's working diligently to build collie health and is active in a number of studies regarding collies.
She's a trainer. She's a groomer -- you'll be one, too -- and she'll walk you through it, for the sake of the dog! Her place is clean. Her dogs are in doggie-heaven, with all sorts of attention and love. You can call her anytime.
She is a great person. She is a great dog breeder. I value her respect and assistance. I listen to her. If that is the kind of breeder you want -- and that is the only kind of breeder you should want -- then get a dog from Sandi. She's definitely two thumbs up.
Sincerely, Victoria Cross

My wife, Shirley, and I have recently adopted an 8 week old Rough coated Sable Collie puppy, Abby (official name DoubleDare), from Sandi and Jim. We drove 7 and a half hours from Dorval (Montreal) to Kincardine on the shores of Lake Huron to get her three weekends ago. We arrived at the Hamilton's farm which had two fenced in corral areas for about 19 adult Collies and about 5 pups at the time. All the adults were truly magnificent examples of the four Collie types. Every one was friendly and well behaved. We were greeted by Sandi and Jim who warmly received us for over two hours into their spacious, surprisingly clean and orderly house where we were treated not only to a course in Collies and what puppies need but to a truly impressive parade of Collies of all ages and sizes! It was wonderful. Sandi is a master and an expert having raised champion Collies for 30 years and Jim is her cheerful, warm partner and "eminence grise" running the family farm business as the foundation for their successful breeding operation. We felt so fortunate to have chosen them from the many breeders we investigated through the internet, the CKC book and by telephone. Our pup comes from Canadian champion parents, a Sable dam and a Tricolor sire. And it shows. Not only in the beautiful physical shape and colors but also in the personality and calm disposition of our pup and all the Collies we saw at their place. Sandi is amazing in her intimate familiarity with each of the Collies and in her encyclopedic knowledge of the breed. When we went back on the Sunday morning to claim our little bundle of joy, I think I saw a tear in Sandi's eyes as she bid farewell to little "DeeDee" as she called our pup. We have had two dogs before this one and are humbly thankful that we got this one. Sandi chose us for this pup after learning about us and our previous Collie, Mollie. So her genius reaches into where she places her brood pups as well as in the breeding itself. We intend to give this dog the best we can in her home and training and health care as she grows to maturity. All paper work was complete and waiting for us when we arrived. Sandi had emailed us her pedigree before we agreed to buy the dog and there is no inbreeding whatsoever and she has successfully controlled for CEA in her operation. Her web site is regularly updated (she even posted a poem we gave her called a Dog's Prayer which is on her front page now.) Our vet, Dr. Bob Langill, was impressed with Abby when he saw her and believes we have an exemplary pet in her. At 11 weeks, our Abby is almost house broken and has successfully learned the "sit", "come", "How-do-you-do" (or give me your paw) and is starting to retrieve toys over and over again. She is calm in the presence of other dogs and is extraordinarily gentle with small children. Yet she has lots of energy and really gives us a work out during the day! We paid $700 for Abby on a non-breeding contract which was the going price but we did notice that other breeders are either not offering as much as the Hamilton's in terms of quality or the others ask a higher price, some as much as $1100.00 for a non breeding contract for Collies that might not even be as good at those of GlasgowHill's. So we highly recommend this breeder to you if you are considering adopting a Collie. You will NOT be disappointed. Please feel free to email us if you would like any other information. Yours truly Neill Graham and Shirley Taylor Dorval, Quebec ndgraham@sympatico.ca

My name is Darlene Kerr. I live in Saskatchewan Canada..and recently I sent one of my puppies to Sandi Hamilton. I am extremely fussy about who gets my puppies..but I was delighted to send one of my darlings to Sandi. Sandi is a very kind and very honest person. I have spoken with her many times..and found her to be very knowledgeable and very concerned re: health and soundness, temperaments, intelligence, beauty and proper care of this wonderful breed. Her breeding's are carefully planned, her puppies receive the BEST of care, she breeds to the standard and has produced many very beautiful dogs over the years. She does health testing on parents and on puppies..she believes, as I do..that a collie must be MORE then just beautiful..it must be strong and healthy and able to lead a GOOD, active LONG life. I will be getting a puppy from her later this year and I already KNOW my puppy will be not only beautiful, but a sound and healthy dog. If you are considering a Glasgowhill collie..then IMO you are considering one of the BEST! Whether you are seeking a show/breeding dog or a dog that will be primarily your best chum, you have found a very good, very reputable, honest, caring breeder in Sandi. I wish you the best for your future Glasgowhill collie..you will never be sorry you got one if you do decide to make a purchase. Sandi stands behind her dogs and is the kind of breeder who WANTS to keep in touch and who will always be as close as your phone or your computer should you require advise etc. Hope this helps you in making an informed decision.

Re reference for your puppies - we could not be happier with Flora, now almost one year old. She has a huge, beautiful coat, wonderful markings, perfect conformation and is as clever and funny as can be. We had no trouble with her at obedience school and everyone from the teacher to the vet to the groomer ask about where we got her. Everyone recognizes the GREAT breeding. She is a farm dog and is showing great promise here with our sheep flock. But she is also wonderfully social with other dogs and with everyone she meets. I never have to worry about her misbehaving. We would recommend that anyone buy a dog from Glasgowhill. Everything about the philosophy and the care is perfect. We certainly would go nowhere else after purchasing Flora. Also, Sandi has been really helpful with answering all my concerns and queries both before we got Flora and since. Barbara Barbara McLean E-mail Address barbara.mclean@sympatico.ca
