Cool is my first smooth, first merle and first blue eyed Border collie! She is super confident, bold and outgoing, but has a super goofy and sweet side too. I'm excited to begin our agility adventure together!
Shreddy is not related to any of my girls and comes from very accomplished parents. He is thoughtful, smart, sweet and very much an old soul. We are still figuring out how to work together. He is teaching me empathy and patience. Photo: Pixpups
Squid is retired from an amazing agility career! After winning the Speedstakes Finals at the US Open in 2019, this girl deserved retirement. I love everything about Squid! She is fast, driven and gives 200% in everything she does! She truly is my heart dog. Photo: Tanya Lee
I lost my sweet Flux to urethral cancer at the age of 7. Flux is a cousin to Squid and Mars and Grit's niece. She is was full of personality and loved people. She was not my fastest agility dog, but she took me to many final rounds. Thank you for those experiences and wonderful memories, Flux! Photo: PixPups
I lost my sweet Mars to metastatic lung cancer at the age of 10. She was Squid's full sister, but 3 years younger. Mars was driven and loved to work and play. She was faster and quicker than Squid on the agility field and a joy to run and live with! She made many finals rounds and stood on a lot of boxes. Thank you for always giving 200% in every run, Mars!
Grit was my first Border Collie and the aunt to Squid and Mars. She took me to the Cynosport Finals in Grand Prix and Steeplechase year after year. Grit and I traveled the US competing for a decade. She was a steady eddy on the agility field and a sweet heart to everyone she met. She truly was the perfect first Border collie!
Buca was my first agility dog. She came from intense field lines and was a difficult dog to live with. Her energy level was beyond high! She is the reason I found agility. It was clear hiking and obedience were not enough for such a brilliant and active dog. Buca was fast and furious on the agility field. She earned a spot in the US

She earned a spot in the USDAA Grand Prix Finals in 2004 and won the quarterfinals in 2006.
Ebbie was my second agility lab and came from the best field lines at the time. She was very fast, very bendy and did well competing her first two years. After that, she retired from agility due to the stressful environment of trials. She came out to try every few years, but spent most of life doing what she loved; hiking and dock diving.
