| I fell in love with the Border Collie breed while I was working for a veterinary hospital as a veterinary technician/receptionist. There weren't too many Border Collies that came into the hospital, but the ones that did stood out above all the other breeds. Those Border Collies were the most intelligent dogs I had ever seen, and I've seen a lot of breeds. I was hooked, so I set out on a mission to find out everything I possibly could about this fascinating breed. The more I researched, the more I fell in love with them. Then I set out to find a knowledgeable and reputable breeder. After many months searching, I found RiverRun Border Collies and it just so happened they had puppies available. We brought our new puppy home and what can I say, our household has not seen a dull moment since. That was February 2000, when it all started. We now have 2 wonderful Border Collies and I cannot say enough great things about them and how much enjoyment these 2 intelligent, fun, loving, high energy girls have brought into our lives. I am also a member of the Kentuckiana Tartan Border Collie Club. |
| My daughter, Kayla is a junior handler that entered her first AKC show when she was 12 years old. Kayla is the one that does all the handling and most of the grooming at the shows, I'm just the show mom. I am very proud of Kayla, she has won some very large junior classes and has also won Best Junior Handler. She has put each and every point on our dogs and that includes 5 major wins between both dogs. Kayla now is handling dogs for other people and is doing very well. She not only shows AKC conformation but belongs to our local dog 4H group. There she participates in agility, obedience and showmanship competitions where she has done extremely well including Reserve Grand Champion Showman along with many 1st places. Kayla also belongs to a livestock 4H group where she raises and shows suffolk market lambs. In 2001 she won the coveted award of Grand Champion Lamb. She also has won many 1st places in showmanship with her lambs. Kayla also has 2 horses that she shows in 4H and open horse shows. She won the Western Pleasure Reserve Grand Champion award in 2005 and also many 1st places. Kayla is a very competitive show person and it shows. In addition to her involvement with animals, Kayla earned her black belt in TaeKwonDo and took a first place at a TaeKwonDo competition which qualified her for the Nationals. To top it off Kayla sings like an angel. She takes pride in her accomplishments and truly shines in and out of that show ring. |
