"Jessie" Wayside Red Hot UD - My first border collie, my soul mate and best friend. Jessie, sadly lost to cancer at 9 years of age, was the beginning of my love affair with Border Collies. Jessie is the dam of Jan De Mellow's great "Trivet" OTCH Hob Nob By The Wayside.

"Christie" - CH Park Ave's Crystal Clown CD. Christie was my first Sheltie and my first conformation champion. She was my foundation bitch, a specialty winning, champion producer. Champion offspring: CH Macdega Park Avenue and CH Cindahope Crystal and Gold, both of these bitches also produced breed champions. Two of Westminster's recent winners trace to Christie!

"Luke" - CH Park Avenue Captive Illusion UD - The best boy anyone could ever want! Everyone loved Lukie! "Luke" thrilled me by placing at the Nationals with me handling from the very competitive 9-12 class! He is the sire of numerous champions and pointed offspring. He also has some super agility kids. Check out "Taz" on "DogPatch". Locally, watch out for son Shane and grandson Scoop.

"Chigger" - Hob Nob Under My Skin UD, NA, FDX - Chigger lived the good life...cookies, swimming, running, and getting patted! A member of the "Party Hardy" crowd she endured sugery for cancer and did well for quite a while! Just a word of advice; be careful with naming your dogs..."Chigger" gave me poison ivy twice!

The photos below are of Chigger at a flyball tournament at age 11 1/2 - after removal of most of the right side of her jaw due to cancer.

"Parker" - CH Sequoyahpark (formerly Korella) Storm Warning AAD, MX, MXJ - My latest puppy from Denmark. Very sweet and responsive, "Parker" finished his NA title with a first place and highest scoring Novice dog and got his first open leg with a first place and highest scoring Open dog. He has 5 double Q's. He just finished his AAD with 1st place in Fryeburg, Maine in August 2004. "Parker" has already shown promise on sheep! His sire is Int. Fin. & Est. CH Borderframe Perths Glory from Finland - DOB 10.1.1998, eyes clear, hip score A. "Pyry" competes in agility class 3. Parker's dam is Aust. & DK. CH KBHV 99 Korella Royal Cascade - Copenhagen Winner 1999 + Group 3 from Australia now living in Denmark. Unfortunately, upon Opthomalic examination by two board certified diplomates of the American College of Vetinary Opthomolgists, Parker has been diagnosed with chorodial hypoplasia in both eyes, and coloboma in his left eye and has been neutered. Somehow this was missed in his eye exam in Denmark. Parker now lives as Prince Parker with his handmaiden Elicia in NH. Totally spoiled living the life of an only dog with nothing to do but be loved and to love as he so believes he is entitled to.

The 1st photo below is "Parker" at almost 7 months old. The middle photo is "Parker's" major in CT. The 3rd photo from left is "Parker" at 14months old.
