My Story:

I am 18 years old and animals are my passion! I study animal biology at University so that one day I can look after animals and get paid for it! I have had many pets, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, budgies, finches, fish, etc. But my main love are my dogs. I got my first dog when I was 12 (we currently had a family dog called Meg, she is 16 and still with us!) I had been asking for years and finally got her, she is a black and white border collie (my Mum loves border collies, she has had 5 dogs, 4 of which were borders) from a small farm who is not KC registered. Her name is Skye and I trained her up in Obedience, Flyball and Agility and competed with her, once I registered her as a working dog (Strange Lights in the Skye). She is an amazing dog with a lovely temprament and definitely my baby! It was August 2009 when I got my second dog for getting into University, she is a KC registered, blue merle cross tri border collie from Cumbria. Her name is Jazz (Holmelyne Enfys Jazz), she is currently still being trained in Obedience and Agility although, unlike Skye, her strengths are in Obedience. She is your typical collie (ABSOLUTE NUTS) but sooo friendly, I doubt I have ever met such a happy pup!

Although I compete with my dogs occasionally, I just do it as fun for me and my dogs, I feel it's important that my border collies are challenged! But don't get me wrong, on the rainy days I'd rather stay cuddled up in bed rather than go to training but they love it!

Thats all :).
