Youngsters Mercury and Buffy playing

My first love was for GSDs and now have Mother & Daughter black long haired ones. Buffy is shown here with collie puppy Mercury. They love to play together, Buffy is a big softy who loves everyone and loves to sit on folks' laps! Mercury is an import from Germany - I fell in love with his sire who lives in Belgium and the rest as they say is history. I drove/sailed over in January with the changes to the pet passport rules, Merc arrived here at just under 4 months old. He's of mostly australian lines and is genetically clear of all known and testable diseases. He'll be hip scored and eye tested when he's old enough. I have long wanted a blue collie and he is meeting and exceeding my expectations. I may do some showing and hope that he'll enjoy agility.

My dogs love to play in the garden and here are shelties Dizzy & Molly and collies Oswy and Merc playing with a ball. Oswy is now 9 years old but still very fit and loves to play. When we moved to this house which has wooden floors in the bedroom he loved to 'skate bed' flying from the lounge and 'riding' the bed around the bedroom... he was most upset when I put carpet under the bed and it wouldn't move! He loves to race up the stairs to pounce on everyone. A great advocate of keeping playing to stay young!

Lexie (Bottlesford Hope for Fun) is very intelligent, with strong working and show lines. Her pups will not be for the faint hearted, but ideal for those wanting to do everything with their collie - agility, obedience, working trials and or flyball. They may even be suitable for showing. Her parents are both clear of CEA TNS and CL so she is genetically clear of these diseases as both her parents have been fully tested. She is also tested clear for narrow-angled glaucoma. Her first litter are absolutely stunning - great temperaments, lovely looking and quick to learn. I kept Rosie from this litter.

Ski (Rancolie Blue Run) is very intelligent and very sensitive - his father is a world champion agility dog and he comes from strong working (herding, obedience and agility) lines as well as some fantastic show lines - see his pedigree. He is a striking merle. He is a CEA carrier.

Cody (Cody Fantastic) is a stunning red tri youngster from working (ISDS) lines. He is dual registered. His father's line have done a fair amount of showing - Kurgan. He is a CEA carrier and narrow-angled glaucoma clear.

Oswy (Bottlesford More Fun) is a big softy who loves agility.

Jed (Done for Fun of Valgray) was my first collie - a rescue from Cornwall. Very sadly I have lost Jed in January 2011 with cancer. He started the 'fun' theme as agility is meant to be 'for fun'. He's named after an event horse and has the affix of Valgray's rescue.

Instead of thinking of 'fun' names for my dogs I decided to incorporate it into my affix - Funfastquick a play on the words fun and fantastic.

My dogs enjoy the garden - they love to play, they also love walks in the adjacent fields. We also train and compete in agility which they adore.

I share my home with 2 British working lines (straight backed long haired) GSDs, 7 border collies and 4 shelties.

I have started breeding as part of my agility hobby, hopefully having fun with my dogs and breeding some good agility lines. I don't currently show any dogs although may do so with young Mercury.

I started agility with my second GSD and now have a fabulous black working lines long haired GSD, Sophie, and her daughter, Buffy.

Three of my collies are show/working lines with Blue Aberdoon, Brooksbid Country Classic and Int Sup Ch Spot in my bitch's pedigree. All my collies are tri - Oswy and Lexie are black tri, Ski is blue merle tri and Cody, Rosie and Jorja are red tris. Cody is dual registered (ISDS and KC) and he is related to Oswy and Lexie, all having Int Sup Ch Spot in their pedigree.

Breaking the mould I now have a blue and white pup! Mercury although as his sire is tri he will carry the tri gene :-)

My merle dog, Ski, has a Sheltysham dam and an agility world champion for a sire (Woodsorrel Spectre). He has excellent lines although a CEA carrier. He has the well known agility sire Batavia's Cap in his pedigree and also the well known Sadghyl Pip as well as some excellent show champions like Kathmick Griff, Cluff of Mobella, Lethans Hopeful Flame, Viber Travelling Matt and many others

Lexie and Cody had 8 red tri babies on 20th February 2009 and I have kept the last pup to be born, Rosie - Funfastquick Red Rose. They had 6 pups this June (3 red and 3 black tri). Rosie now has a daughter, Jorja.

Recently I have ventured into shelties, my first, Dizzy isn't suitable for showing due to pricked ears. She has had two litters. I also have Molly (Mohnesee/Nethercroft) and I hope that she will have pups at some point.

My dogs are all house dogs and we travel around the country during the summer at agility shows. Oswy qualified for the national Pedigree Pairs final at Stoneleigh twice and the Dog Vegas Novice dog final held at Winterton, Scunthorpe. Despite having two years of illhealth Oswy is now working at G6

Cody has taken a lot of training but is now showing great promise, as is Rosie and Dizzy.
