I hope you enjoy browsing through my site, and please take time to look through the Sooshine shop where you will find lots of personalized border collie memorabilia and gift ideas. I plan to increase my products frequently so please keep checking back.

My dogs are first and foremost much loved companions, but I believe in an all round Border Collie, and my dogs enjoy competing in conformation, Working Trials or engaging in other outdoor activities. Each dog has a chance to do what it enjoys best and I have been fortunate enough to have competed in Obedience in the past and also managed to try my hand at herding when the opportunity has arisen.

I have only bred one Border Collie litter to date as I do not breed commercially, only breeding to fulfill my own requirements. However, my one and only 1999 litter of 8 puppies were a successful and healthy litter, and I still get updates from each of their owners. This litter enjoy good pet homes, some have competed in conformation, working trials, agility, flyball and obedience, as well as having proved their herding skills with both cattle and sheep. Two of this litter are still owned by myself, and have competed  at Crufts and other Championship shows with success, including several first places. My own Jedi, and sister Fen, owned by Gail Cartwright, have achieved their WDex qualifications in working trials to date.
