In years gone by…. Well before DNA testing was available. I can remember buying huge poster size pieces of paper from the local Newsagency and writing down, pedigrees on these with different colour, pencils, and highlighters, trying to calculate what may or may not happen in a potential litter !! as I look today and think about years gone by how far we have come in Genetic Testing I’d be happy to hear any comments or experiences that you have in years gone by … and it’s amazing how far we have come !

It’s exciting times here, as we are awaiting the arrival of puppies from our gorgeous Sienna and very handsome Maverick !! Both parents have been fully DNA tested with excellent results and both parents have been Penn hip scored and have hip scores below the breed average.
I’m so excited for the arrival of these pups in mid December, as I look at the pedigree it’s full of some outstanding and top winning dogs! Thankyou Aleksandra for making this beautiful advertisement!
As always enquiries are welcome about our puppies, dogs or the breed in general.

It’s throw back Thursday again !!

This time we go back to 1994…

Last week so many of you liked hearing about my first dog Sasha and how the history of how the “Sashdan” name developed. Today I thought I’d share this photo, this was a very proud moment, these were the very first trophy’s and sashes that Sasha and I won together in obedience, I was just 17 years old …. it’s fair to say this was the moment that I was certain I wanted to compete with my dogs in the future !! I went straight home and after taking photos, these Sashes were hung on the wall above my bed head and the trophy’s sat on my bedside table. Where I could look at them everyday and dream of bigger things 🙂

Yesterday the weather was beautiful and warm so I took full advantage and bathed and groomed the dogs….. gosh I love this young dog so much, such a stylish dog and beautiful mover.

This throw back Thursday takes me back to 1993 !!

I was just 16 years old in this photo and while purebred border collies had already been in my family for a couple of generations with my dad and my grandfather and I grew up around them, Sasha was my very first dog, I trained her and together we competed in Obedience Trials where she earnt several titles and won many awards.
A fun fact.....the first 4 letters of Sasha's name are the first 4 letters of our prefix today "Sashdan"
This was Sasha back in 1993 having a bath in the laundry sink, before the days of the hydrobath and dryers came along, How things have changed since then !!
