About Highland Moor
Caryn Conner
Hello! I'm Caryn, the breeder behind Highland Moor Kennel located in the Charleston/Huntington Area of WV. With a foundation of love, care, and purpose, our breeding program is a result of thoughtful decisions at every step. I meticulously consider various factors when selecting dogs, ensuring that each puppy inherits the best qualities from both parents. I take pride in the quality of our puppies and are confident that they will bring as much joy to your life as our dogs have brought to ours!
My Story
I got into breeding because of my deep love for Rough Collies and a strong desire to contribute to preserving and improving the breed. After adopting my first Rough Collie, I quickly became fascinated by their temperament, intelligence, and beauty. As I spent more time with Collies, I realized there was a need for responsible breeders who prioritize health, genetics, and sound temperaments. This inspired me to start my breeding program with a focus on these values. I’ve worked hard to learn about canine genetics, health testing, and proper care to ensure that each litter I produce is not only healthy but also set up for success in their new homes. It’s been an incredibly rewarding journey, and I’m excited to continue growing my program and making a positive impact on the breed.
At Highland Moor Kennel, my breeding program is built on a foundation of health, genetics, and responsible preservation of the Rough Collie breed. What sets my program apart is my commitment to thorough health testing, careful pedigree research, and ongoing education in canine genetics and nutrition. I prioritize producing well-tempered, structurally sound, and healthy puppies that will thrive in their new homes, whether as beloved companions or in performance and show settings. Beyond breeding, I’m dedicated to lifelong breeder support for my puppy families, ensuring they have the resources and guidance needed to raise happy, well-adjusted dogs. I also believe in ethical breeding practices and advocate for responsible ownership to help keep this incredible breed thriving for generations to come.
