Storm went Best Puppy In Show 3 times at companion level as a youngster, and Best in Show at the Cam Vet fundraiser 2007. She has also aided me in winning show handling classes and has placed in both agility and working trials at open level.
In August 2007 she had a litter of puppies sired by the stunning orange roan: Worlewood Aint No Sunshine from which we kept Jack and Lily.
I bought Storm as a companion and took her to puppy classes which we both really enjoyed.I was encouraged to take obedience further with her, and during the summer of 2004 we entered our first companion obedience competition where, despite my inexperience, she did very well and so we have continued with obedience and currently compete in novice and 'A' at open/championship shows.She enjoys training and I feel it is a real pleasure to work her in such a collie-dominated sport.We have also begun training for working trials events (she was placed at her first trial), and recently started going to agility classes (she had a placed clear round at her second open show). Storm and I really enjoy both of these activities.She has already achieved so much more than I could have ever imagined and she is very special as the dog who introduced me to the obedience world and to working trials, won me out of the beginners obedience classes, and who gave me my first opportunity to compete at Crufts.She also made me very proud by becoming the mother of my very first litter.
She has gained many 1st places in obedience at companion level, and has also won at limit and open/championship obedience shows. 2006 was a fantastic year for us: She went from pre-beginners to being placed in test 'A', won 3x KCGCDS Special Pre-beginner Obedience Stakes Heats and won out of YKC Graduate (novice). She was retired from YKC obedience competition in 2007 after winning out of Intermediate and becoming Advanced only.
