Finn had a ridiculously busy week at border collie nationals.

Tuesday he earned his HSBd title with a great run. He hadn't been on stock in a few months leading up to the trial, so I was doubly impressed with him.

Wednesday and Thursday he had a total of 5 runs in agility. No Qs (I made some critical handling errors), but he was as awesome as ever.

Friday he finished his last Triple Q needed for his RACH, and just needs Master points to finish it! He also won his sweepstakes class, made the cut in best headpiece and best gait, and strutted his stuff in the Owner Handled Invitational and Rally Invitational!

Saturday he showed in best of breed, but his high point was his Open A run. I blew the Q because I wasn't loud enough, but he nailed every exercise despite a crazy environment. We also got to run a Crufts style heeling pattern which included positions that he'd never done before, like a moving sit. He did it perfectly, most of our points off were because I forgot my lefts and rights. Ooops.

He ended the weekend by charming people at the Stud Dog Social.

I believe he was the only dog to participate in the Janet Larson Versatility competition, Rally Invitational, and Owner Handled Invitational which is super cool.

My biggest win for the weekend was looking at the photos of us in the ring and realizing how far I've come as a handler in the past two years.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us and helped Finn and myself along the way, David, Pepe, Dawn Marie, Beth, Joan, Joy, Paula, and many others. I never would've dreamed that this would be my once in a lifetime dog, but I'm sure glad he is and that we have a community who loves him as much as I do.

Here's to many more Qs, titles, rosettes, and fun Buddy!

We are excited to announce our planned litter for Winter 2024/2025!

Finn is a dog that needs no introduction, with a career spanning across over half a dozen sports and numerous accolades. He has been awarded three of the four versatility awards given by the Border Collie Society of America, is a multi owner handled group placer, and has several High Combines and High Triples.

He is a happy, pleasant dog with no vices. He gets along well with others and is a perfect babysitter and playmate for puppies.

You can find his health testing here:

Carly is a promising young girl who has proven herself to be quite versatile, even at her young age. She earned the Versatility award from the Border Collie Society of America at under two years of age. She has titles in several different sports as well as lots of “for fun” titles. She is currently preparing for her CD, which we hope to earn next summer. She also has a few singles towards her AKC Championship, which we will pursue again next year as time allows.

She is incredibly outgoing, both to people and dogs. She has no issue with being taken to new places and loves to go pretty much anywhere. Carly wakes up on the right side of the bed every day and is always in a great mood.

You can find her health testing here:

We are taking inquiries on this litter, primarily for those wanting males. Puppies are placed based on the home with the best fit, not by position on the waitlist. I am expecting these puppies to be pleasant, easy pets and sport dogs. Inquiries can be sent to [email protected] or through private message on Facebook.

Finn and I rallied up for the first time in a while this weekend, and took a trip to Denton and Azle, Texas.

We earned Triple Qs #16-18 as well as more Master and RACH points! Thank you to the Dallas Fort Worth Labrador Retriever Club and the Basset Hound Club of Greater Ft. Worth for holding such lovely trials!

We are thrilled to announce that Carly's CHIC is official!

A CHIC number means the dog has been tested to at least the minimum standards set by the breed club. As you can see, we do several more tests that aren't required, but we do feel that they are beneficial to our dogs and the breed.

After giving them a thorough test, we are excited to share how much we love our One Stray Hair brushes! We've been using them at least weekly since mid June, and they have withstood the use and abuse that comes with border collies.

Each of the oval brushes comes in two sizes, perfect to have one in your grooming back and one in the ring.

Our current favorite is the wood pin brush. It works tangles out gently, no pain or breakage!
