Glentress Kennels was established in 1978. Prior to breeding Border Collies, we bred and showed Australian Cattle dogs.  It was Christmas 1978, when Santa left Rullion Flare under the tree for Debbie. This delightful 'package' started the 'Adams' girls on the enjoyable journey of showing and breeding Border Collies. Rullion Flare was our first Australian Champion at the tender age of fourteen months.  Flare was the foundation bitch of Glentress Kennels.  She produced lovely progeny with great conformation and sound temperaments especially when Epsom, Checkmate and Rullion lines were combined.  These lines produced our lovely sire Australian Champion Glentress Rex "Randy".  (See Tributes)

All breeding stock have been DNA tested for CL, CEA, DNA Parentage tested and hip and elbow x-rayed.
