Welcome to  the home of
Nellie The Collie 
Nellie is a working Service Dog, and 
as such is an important aid to the mobility 
of her partner, Terry Thistlethwaite.

She is registered with both the
state of California and the
United States Service Dog Registry,
although neither of these certifications 
is required for a  Service Dog to 
maintain public access rights under
the federal Americans with Disabilities Act..

Nellie is also an educational and good will
ambassador for Service Dogs, for
purebred, show bred,  and purpose bred dogs, 
and for the wonderful Collie breed.

Part of Nellie's mission is to help establish
a non profit clearinghouse of information 
for those needing privately or owner trained 
Service Dog candidates,  qualified Service Dog
trainers, and breeders having suitable
candidate dogs or puppies to make available.
It is a documented fact that purpose bred dogs
excell in suitability for Service Dog work at 
a far greater percentage than do shelter dogs.

Nellie was bred by Cathy Squire of
 Littlefield Collies in New Jersey.
Her sire is Champion Tartanside Oliver Twist
and her dam is
Tartanside Littlefield Adorable.
Her AKC name is Littlefield Hot Wheels.
She comes from a long line of highly intelligent,
judiciously bred and lovingly raised Collies
proven to excel in numerous working venues
as well as in the competitive show ring as 
outstanding examples of the AKC breed 
standard of perfection.  Her illustrious pedigree
traces on both sides to Albert Payson Terhune's
noteworthy Collie, Champion Sunnybank Thane,
to the beautiful Parader Collies of Steve Field,
and of course to the original Collie from Ireland,
the grandfather of all Collies, Trefoil.

In December of 2018 we lost a dear friend
and  great champion of the Collie 
in Nellie's ever supportive breeder,
Cathy Squire. Before succumbing to   of 
the ravages of Western medicine, 
Cathy entrusted me with a true part of 
the Littlefield Collies legacy in the
beautiful form of her choice puppy
from her last litter.
With heartfelt appreciation and 
tears, I lovingly present
Nellie's great nephew,
Littlefield The Once Again Prince of Chekia. 
Princeton will carry the banner
of his legacy with the true grace
and nobility his heritage insures.
*Thank You Cathy.*
"And He will wipe out every tear from their eyes,
and death will be no more.  Neither will mourning
nor outcry, nor pain be any more.
The former things have passed away."
(Revelation 21:4)
