22/06/2025

Yesterday I attended the Dogs Victoria Open Shows, I am absolutely thrilled with our results and the dogs performances
- BEST EXHIBIT IN WORKING DOG GROUP -
- BEST INTERMEDIATE IN GROUP -
-Best of Breed -
Sashdan Pure Gold - “Eddie”

- BEST MINOR PUPPY IN GROUP -
- Runner Up Best Of Breed -
Sashdan Walking On Sunshine - “Radley”

Thankyou to judge Clare Van Der Wold, for awarding my boys so highly, it’s always very special to be awarded by someone who is involved in and understands working dogs.
The difference in Eddie’s performance from last week to this week is incredible the work I’ve put into him is all coming together. For Radley this was his very first show, he’s the ultimate party boy, full of life and a huge exuberant personality, he got better and better as the day went on, showing that he is also one big moving puppy.
I’m very proud of these 2 boys, and I have been overwhelmed by the lovely comments and messages I have received about them both.
It was so nice to see lots of friends again some I hadn’t seen in years. Congratulations to everyone who enjoyed success over the weekend, it was a great day out

Over this past weekend I dusted off my show clothes and we went to 2 championship shows … after a long time playing in the garden, Eddie came out to play .. this was only his 3rd and 4th ever show and his very first all breeds shows im very proud .. this boy did ever so well and I’m overwhelmed by the comments and enquiries ever since. He’s such a special and beautiful boy and just adores me… anyone who knows border collies knows very well his huge success at the border collie national in 2024 at his very first show… Eddie has since been at home enjoying life and allowing to be a puppy growing up, I’m very pleased to say he was awarded Res cc at both shows at his first attempt!! The comments on his movement were greatly appreciated. Hes Still so young I can’t wait to see what the future holds. This gorgeous photo was taken of eddie outside the pavilion yesterday ! Thank you Ethan james for this beautiful photo

It’s flashback Friday !!
And this time we don’t need to go back very far at all.
Today we remember an incredibly special dog that I bred and one who needs very little introduction . The one and only “skip”
UK CH Sashdan High Hopes For Dykebar JW (exported Australia)
From the day he was born I said straight out he was going to be special and he more than exceeded that expectation ! Skip had the very special opportunity to travel to Scotland to live with our very good friend John Ritchie and be promoted to the highest level on the world wide stage, I still remember standing crying in my driveway when he left and I lost count of the amount to times over the years that I was told I was crazy to let such a dog go, In actual fact it was quiet the opposite, it was one of the best things I did, at the time I was promoting my other dogs and having a young family I couldn’t give skip the opportunity he deserved to shine in the show ring so I allowed him to travel and be with John, together they achieved so much, a Best in show Winner, A Runner up best in show winner, a
2 x reserve CC winner at Crufts, a multi green star winner in Ireland, a dog who’s name featured many times in the top dog awards. And above all he was John’s best mate and heart dog, the bond they shared was something that’s not seen everyday. What they achieved together has ensured skips name is permanently etched in history. It’s was an incredible journey to watch and be part of and I’ll always be forever greatful of the beautiful home skip was offered, the way he was loved and promoted and the friendship that we have, I could never have asked for more, skip got to live his best life, he had the chance to shine and he was never lost from me, his frozen semen came back to me here in Australia and over the years we’ve had his pups, and one day in the future we will have his pups again, Skip was sadly taken from us all before his time, today I remember this dog who is an absolute legend within our breed 💕💕

Yesterday Radley headed out to the local football, socialising, getting non stop pats, getting to eat potato cakes and hot chips, meeting lots of people and he met lots of dogs but the highlight of his day was seeing Sunny, they had the best day hanging out together !

Something I’ve been asked a lot about is the color variation in ee red border collies, ee red can range in shades of color from the very lightest of red, a wheaten or sandy colour, all the way through to a very dark rich red colour, all of these shades light or dark are correct and all are accepted in the border collie breed standard.
My dogs, Sienna -Sashdan You Are My Sunshine and Eddie - Sashdan Pure Gold, are often commented on how dark colored they are as ee reds, I took this photo the other night out walking on the left is Eddie whos very well known for his very rich red color and on the right is my puppy Radley - Sashdan Walkin on Sunshine, who is just 5 months old, radleys adult coat is just starting to come through and he’s showing that hes going to be even darker in color and will continue to darken with age ❤️ both Eddie and Radley are darker coloured ee reds

Still catching up on news over the last few weeks….and theres lots more to come !
Over the Easter break I dusted my show clothes off and I went to one show with Maverick -Sashdan Top Gun, he was the only dog that I had entered , for me this show was never about results…. Last year just weeks before the National BC show in Qld, Maverick underwent surgery to remove a significant lump from his side, this meant a large portion of his beautiful coat on his show side had to be clipped off and Maverick was unable to attend the national, Maverick recovered well from his surgery but his coat took a very long time to recover to its former beauty, I actually wondered if he would ever return to the show ring but we did it, slowly but surely and it’s now impossible to tell what Maverick has been through. I expected nothing and was just proud to have our boy back in tip top show condition, he was awarded the Res cc on the day, I was thrilled with this knowing just how far this dog has come. This photo was taken the night before the show. I throughly enjoyed the outing and was so excited to see so many friends again that I haven’t seen for a long time.
