About us
Our Story...
We are a Family Business Built on Experience, Love & Real Results
Our raw feeding journey began over 20 years ago with Bob, our first Border Collie, who struggled with severe skin problems caused by a wheat allergy. After switching him to a natural raw diet, everything changed — his skin cleared, his energy returned, and his quality of life transformed.
From that day forward, every CollieFlowers dog has been raised on a balanced raw diet, giving them the vitality, performance, and health they need to excel in both daily life and competitive sports.
We are deeply involved in the world of dog sport and train across multiple disciplines, but agility is our true passion. We proudly compete across the country and continually see how proper nutrition supports strength, focus, stamina, and recovery.
Who are we?

Alongside her judging and competitive work, Sharon has extensive experience in maintaining the health, fitness, and overall condition of sports dogs.

Sharon remains passionate about demonstrating that—you really can teach an old dog new tricks.
Mark Bush has a lifetime of hands‑on experience in farming and animal care, working with animals of all kinds. He spent three decades as the Farm Manager at a local high school, leading daily farm operations and supporting agricultural education. His sheepdog, Bob was by his side throughout, helping with livestock management and teaching him even more about the incredible instincts and abilities of working dogs.
Growing up around farms shaped both skills and passion, giving a deep understanding of animal behaviour, welfare, and practical husbandry. Whether working with livestock, caring for working dogs, or supporting young people in agricultural learning, he’s always been driven by a commitment to calm, confident, and compassionate animal handling, bringing experienced, reliable, and welfare‑focused support across a variety of settings.
Outside of farm life, Mark also enjoyed success in dog agility, achieving a Grade 7, the highest level in the sport, reflecting years of talent, training, discipline, and teamwork.
