Meet the Border Collies

Border Collies have always been in my family since I can remember, but I had to wait until 1976 when I persuaded my parents to buy me a pup.  Solo joined us from a less than ideal start (a puppy farm!) but we were indeed fortunate, she was healthy, good tempered, and lived a long and happy life.  

As the breed was not recognised by the KC you could not show border collies, but instead I spent every spare minute of the day teaching Solo obedience, and we competed together at open level, winning a Beginners class.  When the breed was recognised I decide to buy a registered bitch, Jocund Fay, (Fly) and to show her along side the family Pyreneans, with which we already had showing and breeding success.  Fly joined us, and proved to be a very versatile bitch, but just grew a little too tall to have regular success in the show ring, so retired from exhibition to enjoy her agility and flyball pursuits. 

One dog which I admired in the show ring was Sh Ch Viber Travelling Matt from Corinlea, so when the opportunity came to buy a bitch puppy sired by "Trav" from Romellva I jumped at the choice, and the cheeky Romellva Soda Water with Elbereth (Soda) joined us, I guess the rest they say 'is history'!
