Twist!! What a wonderful dog Twist is!! Twist has the most wonderful temperament with a shining personality & he just loves to please. Twist loves to play especially with his ball & if it weren't for my health problem's causing us to give them up he'd have excelled in agility & flyball, he has the most tremendous scope!! Twist is every bit the Mummy's boy who loves his cuddles & having his tummy tickled :o)

Twist is siring some truly wonderful puppies that are excelling in the show ring, obedience, flyball, agility & heelwork to music as well as making fabulous companions.

Twist has had a fantastic show career with countless 1st places including Best Puppy In Breed, Best of Breeds & group places.

**On 12th November 2006, Twist was awarded the prestigious title of Border Collie Club of Great Britain PUPPY OF THE YEAR 2006!!**

Also in 2006 Twist was Midland Border Collie Clubs "Top Puppy Dog"!!

2007 was another great year, 2008 even better, several 1st places which included Twist being awarded his stud book number thus qualifying him for Crufts for life!!

At Bath Championship show in May 2008, Twist was awarded the RDCC!! Even better at the BCC of Wales first Champ Show in Aug 2008, Twist was awarded the DCC followed by RBIS!! The year ended on a high when at the Scottish BCC Twist took the DCC!! What a year it was for my wonderful boy!!

Unfortunately since then Twist hasn't been shown very much due to my health problem's but he still continues to do well when he is shown including winning his class at Crufts 2011!! I owe a great deal of thanks to Nick Grosvener for his expert handling of Twist.
