My name is Steve Webb and I have owned rough collies since 1984. My first collie came from Ladypark lines and, although I didn’t realise its significance at the time, Ch Lochinvar of Ladypark featured prominently on his pedigree. Although he was never shown, I always felt that maybe he should have been. I have also owned German Shepherds from a young age, since 1971, coming from a family that bred them. I started showing relatively recently, initially with a German Shepherd in 2006, but mainly competing in Obedience and Agility with my current dog Tilus Shadow of Shadowpark, which I still do.

Having caught the bug, as many others do, I approached Val Geddes and the Ingledene Kennels, who kindly allowed me to have one of her dogs. Val has given me much support since I started showing with Ingledene All About Love, who is the grandson of Ch Ingledene Late Night Love, the bitch record CC holder. He qualified for Crufts at his very first show and has gained many high places at Championship shows ever since.
