My Dogs

Oracle  30/5/23

Meet the latest recruit!  Better known as Ori or Quell.

Quell came from Nataly Matthews in Waleswho takes part in sheepdog
trials very successfully!

She is from really good working lines and is little but feisty at just over 
8 weeks old!

I can't wait to get to know her better and start our journey together.

Jampa 'Soldaze Ad Infinitum' 8/9/20

Jampa (better known as Jam, jamoo!) is my powerful, strong minded
youngster.

He started competing in April 2022 and has won into grade 4, he has shown some very exciting potential and has a beautiful jump style.
2023 is looking very promising!

Kapow 'Lilhaze Spring Bash' 23/10/18

Powski, kap, happy dog!

Kapow is the sweetest of my dogs, although possibly the naughtiest!

She started competing in April 2021 and made the semi finals of the Starters Cup in August at KCI before progressing to the finals at the Excel centre in London.  

She has moved from grade 2 to grade 7 in 18 months and had her first championship class in Jan 2023

Kap started off lacking in confidence and we have worked hard to build this 

so is now using much more of her speed and skills in the ring.


Kali 'Kalyana Mitrata of Valgrays' - 26/8/11

Kali is my perpetual 'project' dog. She was rescued from Ireland and does not appreciate people and dogs that aren't in her little circle.

Despite having to work hard on managing her behaviour, she has been a very successful agility dog. She won into grade 7 (highest level of agility) in 2016 

and made a number of championship finals.

Kali retired from agility in 2021 due to arthritis but continues to live her
best life on the farm.

Quinn 26/8/09

Quinn doesn't have a 'posh' name because he decided early on that agility 

was not for him!

Instead he decided that he much preferred free running with myself or 

Gary and having the loveliest and calmest of natures is often used as a 

'stooge' dog to help dogs who are nervous or reactive.

Rainbow Bridge

Sodah 'Whizz Bang Pop' 7/11/06 - 22/12/2017

The 'original'!
Feisty, bolshy, brilliant, demanded her paws to be massaged, she was a small dog with a huge personality.

Sodah was challenging for first time proper owners, but she taught us so 

much and is sorely missed.
Sodah started at KC agility when she was 6, winning into grade 7 

within 2 years, making many finals.

Zeal 'Fellspirit Dream Big' 8/10/16 - 23/3/2020

I absolutely adore merles, they are a beautiful to look at and tend to be just 

that bit nutty.

Zeal was a very special dog who took a lot of patience to understand but did everything with enthusiasm, especially chasing after squirrels!

We lost him at the very beginning of the covid lockdowns.
Although he challenged me to become a better dog trainer, we developed
a very strong bond and I miss him every day

Ruby 'Littel Pearl Drop' 25/3/2007 - 31/10/2022

Ruby was our first collie and we rehomed her age 4 in 2011.
Although she came from an agility home, she was retired at 6 due to health issues and spent her years running, herding quinn and enjoyed being the matriarch of the home.

She absolutely stuck to the rule that merles are special and was a complete goofball of a dog.
We said goodbye to Ruby in October 2022 at just over 15 1/2 as she had
become very tired and we wanted her to keep her quality of life till the 
end.
The last of our merles, there remains an unfilled space in our home.
