Breeze worked her first obedience round in May 2006, winning her class, the KCGCDS Special Pre-Beginner obedience stakes, and qualifying for the semi-finals at Discover Dogs, 2006. She placed 4th in the Final of this competition at Crufts 2009 and has won in obedience at companion show level.
Her first working trial competition was the Wessex WTC members progress tests. She achieved pre-CD and gained 1st place in her class.
She has been lightly shown at open level and has been placed favourably at most shows attended having gained Pastoral Group 2, Best Of Breeds, Reserve Best Of Breeds and Best Puppy awards. She has also won in breed and handling classes at championship level, and attended Crufts in 2006 and 2007 in the YKC senior handling class. At Companion show level she has been awarded Best In Show and was also the Fivejays 'Best Novelty Dog of the Year 2006'.
Here is her judges critique (Mrs S. Ader) from Bournemouth Champ. Show 2007 where she won out of novice (show): Novice bitch. 8 entries, 0 absent
1) Collier. Rosmarinus Rainmaiden of Pepperbox, Pretty feminine head, good body shape with clean outline, moved really well.
She showed great promise for flyball in the few lessons we attended but unfortunately due to other commitments I was unable to continue with her training.
During the summer of 2005 I finally felt I was in a position to take on a Border Collie, a breed of dog I had always hoped that some day I would be able to own.
