Photos above taken March 2015 when Tilly was almost 10 years of age - Tilly has now retired from the show ring, preferring to stay at home on the sofa or more often than not, my bed. |

Ted joined us from the Chantique kennel in 2007 - thank you to Chan and Andre for our big 'bear'. Ted has had a successful show career and qualified for Crufts at his first show at the tender age of 6 months and one week. Thank you to all the judges who have thought so highly of Ted. See more of Ted on our Past and Retired page |

This brings me on to Tula, (shown left at 8 months and right at 12 months), who my father nicknamed
'wild child' or 'NG' (naughty girl). Tula has a huge personality and certainly keeps us on our toes, I am sure she is part human as she is constantly trying to tell me something!! Thank you to Jo Hodges for this precocious little girl. |

Loobylou at 8 months after winning MPB at Collie Club of Wales Championship Show - April 2015 - Thank you to Judge Mrs Val Geddes |
Lou loves to go to shows, I think purely because she doesn't like to be left behind at home, but is not a great fan of being 'in' the ring, unlike her mother

Thank you so much to Joan and Mae (Nithview) for our bundle of joy - 'Lottie', Tula's grand-daughter and niece to Loobylou. She is such a little poppet, very confident, and doesn't appear in any way fazed with her new surroundings. Below at 11 weeks |

Blown away to have received the above model at British Collie Club Championship Show March 2016. The model, made by Vic and Tim Griffiths is of three sitting Collies, one of each colour. Without my knowledge, the Rough and Smooth Collie exhibitors had been plotting a collection for some time in recognition for the work I do on Collielife and some of the other breed club websites, including publishing show results as they happen, which I couldn't do without the help of my roving reporters. Thank you everyone involved. |
Happy days.........Below photo taken March 2013 on a holiday in the Cotswolds From left - Ted aged 5, Tula just 12 months, Tilly 7 (almost 8) and in the front, Tara 9.5 years old. Unfortunately we had to say goodbye to Tara in March 2015 due to cancer. She was the 'Lady of the Manor' and very sadly missed. We lost Ted in October 2019 after a short, unexplained illness. We said our goodbyes to Champion Tilly in March 2020 just a few months short of her 15th birthday. |
