A success story

 After last week I though a happy post would be in order. Some of you may recall me posting about one of my sisters who raises Rough Collies- she has been campaigning her male, Levi, and his daughter, Gemma this year, with great results. 

Levi, who is 2 years old, won 2 Best of Winners classes- he has matured into a lovely dog. Side note- that isn't my sister showing him, due to some health reasons she opted to hire professional handlers for the shows. 


Then Gemma, who is just 12 months old, has earned her Canadian Championship!

 So her registered name is now Ch. High Country Catch Your Breath. The Ch before the name denotes her status as a national champion. 

Congratulations, Sis, on your dedication to making these dogs the best they can be!


I have watched some of the shows, and the competition is tough! It's a lot of work preparing them for shows, not just daily but all the grooming right before the class. 


Well done!

Wow, that is pretty incredible. The grooming and work that goes into showing a dog is really a lot of hard work and a lot of love for dogs.

Congrats to your sister.
