Dogs currently at home: Six Rough Collies: Shelley, 14, Dillon 12, Chelsea 13, Gina, Tina and Willow, all 10. Other breeds you might consider: Would downsize to a Sheltie or Norfolk Terrier - both 'table' dogs! Beginning of show career: I was encouraged to show by Joan and Nobby Norman in the mid 70s after seeking their advice about a litter of puppies by a dog named Kim, which we inherited when his owners emigrated. Highlight of show career: 22 February 1987—winning Best in Show with ten month old Rambo under breed specialist Albert Wight. Other interests: Euchre, darts, gardening, music: Aerosmith, Guns 'n' Roses, Rolling Stones, and 'god' himself: Eric Clapton! Other comments/advice: Be true to yourself. Over the years we were lucky to own some very beautiful dogs. Anne was the brains behind our breeding—I just turned up at ringside and showed them. At the end of the day, win or lose, you go home with your pet, your friend, your companion. |
