I decided to re-do this site since my original index page has
been lost & since it has been so long since I have updated it.
There will be a link to the old site, if you like it better.

I'm adding a menu & a site index and hope that makes it easier
to get around.  To the left are links to the original pages.
As the new ones are completed, they will be added to the menu
on the right.  I am working on the index page this weekend.

Thanks for your patience - it looks a bit like a house under
construction...a mess.

I will also be re-working all of the other pages, too.  The content
will be the same with more pictures, a lot more information and
articles from some of the old books I have about Collies.

Childhood memories
of the Collie you grew up with
or the Collie next door...
You only have to meet a Collie
to love this fantastic breed.

The Collie temperament
and courage are tales told by
anyone who has owned the breed.

The extreme loyalty
to his family is legendary.
Collie intelligence is well-known.
Many stories can be told of Collies
rescuing their families.

The wonderful qualities that make
people choose this dog again and again.
Denim was disqualified  from his CCA Open White Dog class win.
I have received official notification.  AKC did not receive the 90 Day Extension
Request required to show him.  I did speak with AKC, and they did not receive the
request or payment for the extension, and there is no recourse or appeal, other
than disqualification of all  his wins.  I have to accept this as a 'LESSON LEARNED".
The very nice AKC rep told me that it is best to fax all extensions, and they are
posted within 24 hours.  I will also be sending all important correspondence
certified or Priority Mail from now on, just in case.  This sort of thing causes a lot
of extra work & the heartache of losing such a wonderful win at CCA, in this case.

I would like to thank everyone who sent congratulations, and I would like to
apologize to Rebecca especially, for the great deal of work she did to
prepare Denim for CCA.  Rebecca trained and groomed him, and everyone
told me that he looked really beautiful that day, and that she did a wonderful
job with him.  She took him to other shows to make sure he was
ready for CCA, and much, much more.

I would also like to thank Judge Bob Futh for choosing Denim.
