New Pics of the Collies...

[Spiritwind]

Paris is stunning!!! I understand about not having handling classes close by. We don't have any either. I take the dogs to Rural King, pet stores, and Lowes a lot. Gets them use to showing other places. I'm sure that will work with your gal.

I'm currently showing Australian Shepherds. The client dog is an Aussie as well. I've shown other breeds as well.

Thanks! I may be bred Paris later this year as well... she is almost 4 and never had a litter yet as I wanted to get her finished before she was bred... There is a CH rough tri male in NJ I'm hoping to breed her to, if I can get her up there....

Oh yeah.. I've been taking Amy in town with me... to petsmart types or just to take a ride in the car. I am actually currently doing Flyball classes with Paris, and I take Amy to them just to hang out on occassion... this place is about 35 minutes from my house... they have flyball, agility and obedience... no conf. classes... but its a good place to take the dogs to... years ago I did Agility with my first Collie, he loved it and was awesome!.... have thought about doing agility again...

Oh ok.. yeah, I knew you showed the Aussies, but didn't know if you showed any other breeds... I've had Collies for about 13 1/2 yrs now I think.. been showing them pretty much the whole time... in Conformation probalby the last 9yrs or so... but I've also done herding, obedience, agility... and now flyball.... the male that Kelsey was bred to (CH Apple Valley Shades of Blue, CGC) is a smooth blue merle...he is 7yrs old now, and lives with my mom in Ohio.. but when he was younger and I lived in Ohio, I did some herding with him, he was an AWESOME herding dog!! He loved it and was so good at it... and it came 100% natural to him... the first time he set foot in the field with the sheep it clicked and he was off... he was the most intense Collie herding I'd ever seen....

I primarily show Aussies right now, but I started out with Siberian Huskies 5 yrs ago. I've shown a lot of breeds though. From pugs to gordon setters. I pretty much show whatever is handed to me.

Ohh, I'm so glad I didnt miss this thread! Look at those pretty collie babies. You know I love them! I wish I could have brought them all home with me . Paris is a beauty and looks so much like her daddy . I hope Kelsey is doing well and I can't wait to see pictures of Zack's Grandpups!

Give all the Collies great big hugs from me!

P.S...If I knew anything about showing and had the money to do it I would be snatching Aiden from you in a heartbeat. He is so handsome!
