MY COLLIES OF TODAY


Ever since I was a child, I had always loved dogs, and my first dog was an Alsatian. My interest in Collies started with a book I read as a child, “Black Bob” which was a tale about a fictional working collie, and I still have this book today. As a teenager I worked as a kennel maid in the well known German Shepherd kennel of the Eveley Prefix, owned in partnership by Mrs Tidbold and Miss Lancaster. I was married in 1960 and my first two Rough Collies bitches were Crosstalks Ladybird and Heidja of Holmlands which were Ladypark breeding, and bred by Mrs Thompson. Heidja was mated to Ch Legend of Ladypark, owned by Miss Grey, who resided in Ripon.

In 1966 my Lestine Lochwinnoch, of Arcot fame, was mated to Ch Danvis Duffer. From this litter I retained a dog, Camanna Golden Sensation, but at 9 months of age, I sold him to Tom Purvis, he then won Best Of Breed at Crufts in 1968, and was made up as a Champion by Hazel Collins the same year, and so he became Champion Danvis Camanna Golden Sensation.

As well as the book “Black Bob”, I was also influenced into my love of Collies by returning two Collies to their owners, hoteliers of Middlesbrough The Collies, a tri colour and a sable and white, kept escaping. I obtained my prefix in 1967/68 , Camanna, from the nickname of my father inlaw, Cammy, and Anna - my name being Anne. I made up my first Champion in 1979, Arranbrook Summer Wind of Camanna, her three Challenge Certificates being awarded by Ena Clarke, Jill Oliver and Shirley Keith. My other Champions were Ch. Pied Piper of Aberhill at Rixown, Ch.Camanna Chicken George, Ch. Can This Be Me at Camanna, out of a sister to Chicken George, Ch. Arranbrook Weekend Miss at Camanna, Ch. Camanna The Craftworker, and Ch. Camanna Cindy Crawford. Camanna The Copyist has two CC’s, Camanna Carla Lane has 1 CC and One Reserve CC.


I first judged Rough Collies at an Open Show level in 1976 in Sunderland, and first awarded Challenge Certificates at Scottish Kennel Club in 1982. I have also judged many times in Italy and my first appointment at Breed Club Open Show level was at Northumberland & Durham Collie Club in 1979. My favourite dogs are Ch Pied Piper of Aberhill at Rixown, Ch. Chicken George, Ch. Camanna The Craftworker, Sangreat Sirocco, Ch. Brettonpark Whatziz Name, Lynway Sandknocker, and Arranbrook Sugar ‘n Spice at Rixown. Other favourite bitches have been Champion Mybern’s Mystery at Lynway, a tri colour bitch owned by the “Lynway Clark's) I have repeated the mating that produced Ch. Camanna Cindy Crawford and retained the only bitch in the litter.

3rd and crowning CC at Scottish Collie Club May 2013 - Judge Mrs. Wendy Smith

Judges critique - 'This sable bitch completely filled my eye, so correct for shape, elegant with a lovely neck arched and supporting her feminine one piece head moulded and refined of good length with a perfect stop, her muzzle smooth and clean with adequate chin and underjaw, a dark eye and topped with the neatest ears correctly placed on top of her well filled flat skull combined to create the desirable sweet alert expression. Her shoulder angulation is excellent with adequate depth of rib, her feminine sweeping bodylines covered by a profuse harsh textured coat, beautifully constructed with correct moderate bone short hocks and neat feet, all enabling her to float soundly around the ring with the correct front extension and rear drive. Delighted to award her crowning C.C'

- the same weekend Camanna Chasing Rainbows with Rahlissa JW gained her third and crowning CC at SKC.
