Sooshine Border Collies

Sadly, Barrie has recently made the decision to retire Kay from trials. This is a disappointing decision as she is a very good nosework dog, but her career has been held back by her "sendaway" hang-up in competition and recently she showed signs of being stiff on some days, as well as starting to appear to be finding the jumps more demanding.  Rather than risk her health at such a young age (7 years) Barrie felt that she should live out the rest of her years in comfort rather than risk her ability to continue to enjoy life.

This is especially sad as she has really started to settle down in TD and shown signs of being more confident on the sendaway recently, despite losing a couple of tickets on this exercise, and we did have hopes of being able to gain her title, but it was not to be.

So, young man, Cesan, it's all up to you now !
