My working team past and present.
These are my current and past working border collies. While I appreciate the attributes of the many herding breeds, border collies are my heart breed. This breed never ceases to amaze me with their intelligence, athleticism, and desire to learn. Each of my dogs brings different strengths and weakness to the field. They have taught me so much, I constantly strive to become a better trainer/handler.
