Blake was handled to Best of Breed at the CCA by Debbie Falk and was later campaigned on the East Coast by Tom Coen.

(Ch. Gambit's Trick Of Light, ROM x Aurealis Ambience)
Ch. Tartanside Brocade, ROM
Emma was acquired from John Buddie of Tartanside Collie when we were looking for a beautiful, well-bred and typey bitch to add to Aurealis Collies. Emma was the product of two exquisite and undeniable producers- Ch. Southland's Bowen Island, ROM x Ch. Tartanside Foolproof, ROM. With her parents and beautiful littermates, Emma was a born producer. Her most iconic offspring include: GCHG Aurealis Endeavour, ROM 2x CCA AOM, GCHS Aurealis Coldplay CCA BOS, AOM and GCHB Aurealis I Am Whimsical CCA BOS.

GCh. Aurealis Perfect Storm
Landon was a standout from the beginning. Exuding beautiful expression and body lines, he was destined to be special. Landon's specials career was short and we believe he would have done many great things as a show dog and a producer if given more time. We lost Landon quickly to a virus that swept our kennel in 2014. Landon's passing has been one of our biggest devastations in dogs. We are thankful to still have him in our pedigrees through his daughter, Aurealis Bedazzled.

MBISS
Ch. Aurealis Bronze Glory
-
Winner of 10+ BISS
Sunny was the littermate brother to Blueprint and was equally as outstanding. Sunny had numerous hard to get virtues, a light and lean head paired with a flat and filled skull. Sadly, we never got puppies from this exquisite dog.

Aurealis Always Treasured
-
2000 CCA Open Sable Bitch Class Winner
Tiara is still one of our favorite bitches of all time. She was beautiful in every way and is our mental image of what a Collie bitch should be. Tiara won a top quality Open Sable Bitch Class at the 2000 CCA handled by Tom Coen. Tiara had 8 Major Reserves and was unfortunately never finished as time slipped away. Tiara's full littermate sister, Aurealis Fantasy Diamond, can be found in many pedigrees of the Countryview Collies.

GCH. Deorsa's Mother Of Dragon's
2017 Collie Club of Canada National Specialty Best of Breed
Daenerys came from our first Smooth litter in over 30 years which consisted of 5 Smooth Champions. At a young age, Daenerys won the 2017 CCC National Specialty from the BBE class under Judge Carole Stanley of Afterhours. Daenerys was bred by Deborah Falk, Julianna Falk, Kathleen George and Shauna George and was owned by Kathleen and Shauna. Daenerys tragically passed away in 2020 at only 4 years old. This beautiful girl certainly had a bright future ahead of her.

Ch. Gentry's Aurealis Di Amore
Zoe impressed us from the very beginning, winning multiple specialty majors and finished by going WB/BOW/BOV/BOB over specials at the PNWCC under Judge Phyllis Autrey. Though never specialed, Zoe excelled in the whelping box. Her dam was a full littermate to the beautiful Ch. Fantasy's Rising Dragon, ROM - 2010 CCA Best Of Breed.
(Ch. Fantasy's Night Odyssey x Fantasy's Gentry's Magic Moment)
MBISS
Ch. Lochlaren's Lyric Of Aurealis
Lyric was spectacular and her pedigree is nothing short of iconic and pristine. Sire Silverscreen and dam Theme Song were half siblings, both were sired by Ch. Countryview Motion Picture, who sired only two litters in the U.S.A before making his way to Japan. Lyric played a vital part in our breeding program and when bred to Tartanside Preview, ROM gave us Ch. Aurealis Bronze Legend and Aurealis Always Treasured. Almost all of our Collies go back to Lyric and her offspring.

(Tartanside Preview, ROM x Ch. Lochlaren's Lyric Of Aurealis)
Aurealis Bedazzled
Taylor was exceptional and though she never finished, she made it up in the whelping box. She is the dam of one of our top producers Ch. Aurealis Rumor Has It, ROM, BISS GCHB Aurealis Zandria's Winning Colors and Ch. Aurealis Glitteratti, to name a few.

Ch. Harbor-Lite Aurealis Allure
Paige was certainly a testament to her beautiful sire, Silverscreen. Being one of his best daughters, she personified everything a Collie should be, being beautiful and intelligent.

Ch. Aurealis Savannah
Savannah was the first home-bred Champion of Aurealis Collies. Her dam was our foundation bitch and first dog registered under the Aurealis prefix.

Aurealis Silverscreen.
