About
My first dog was an English Shepherd. When he passed away, I did research on intelligent dogs and found out about the Border Collie. I attended a sheepdog trial in 1998, as a spectator, and that was it for me! I purchased my first BC puppy, Rook, in March 1999 and have been devoted to these phenomenal dogs and the sport ever since. I have qualified for the USBCHA National Open and/or Nursery Finals since 2002.
