Sad News

I had an email from my friend Chris to say her beautiful Border Collie Millie has died.

 Millie had a long life and when she was young won lots of awards in agility which started Chris on her passion. Chris has since gone on to win with her dog Raz and now is competing with Ruby.

RAZ, MILLIE, RUBY and ARCHIE

Raz



This is Raz he was eleven 16 September 2013. What a beautiful dog, what a great photo.

Raz belongs to my friend Chris, he is related in the distant past to a dog I used to have. It is nice to know that in some way she goes on.

When I say this I don't mean senseless breeding. I think intially my friend Kaye who breeds Border Collies was very sorry when the kennel club recoginised the breed, she thought it would ruin the breed. Well maybe we have some people who are after looks but Kaye is still looking for working dogs. Agility, one of the ways these dogs can work.

If you want to walk, train, play and be very involved in your dog, Border Collies are for you, if not foreget it. These dogs are high maintenance, if you are not prepared for the work, don't go there.
