Lots been happening in the last 6 months.

Bee won Reserve Challenge and Intermediate in Group and Max was runner up Neuter in Group at the Nowra show in April.

Bee achieved her Endurance title in Canberra and will be known as “Barrowburn Bee CCD RN ET”.

The opportunity in NSW was fun while it lasted but I’m back home in SA and have decided I can retire now and looking forward to the next adventure.

Dear followers. Due to an unexpected but exciting job offer, Cath is moving to NSW so all future breeding plans are currently on hold for a while.

The two young girls Bee and Meg are now training in the Nowra area although there are limited opportunities for showing or trialling due to the nature of the new job. Not a bad place to work though…

Some updates from the last couple of months to follow.

Meg’s first show today and she won, beating a lovely black and white girl and a lovely red girl. It was nice to see the colours in the class. She worked beautifully and stood for her examination like a pro.
She was 2nd of 3 in the afternoon show.

Very pleased with how calm she was. Bigger dogs and barking dogs. Lots of stuff going on. None of it worried her. Well done little Meg. Rhythm of Flight

I’ve just realised I haven’t introduced Meg (Barrowburn Rhythm of Flight). She is the new family member staying on from the last litter.

Someone is keen to be an agility dog when she grows up. Meg was fascinated by Susan Garrett’s weaving training.

Off she goes. First solo adventure across the country.

It’s a wrap. All Max/Silvy kids have gone to lovely homes. One beautiful girl will stay on for the next generation. These kids were a pleasure to raise with lovely temperaments from their parents, and their learning and socialisation enhanced by the Puppy Culture program.

Many thanks to Milangimbi Border Collies for partnering with Barrowburn to make this litter possible and to Tookurra for your continuing mentoring and guidance.

Congratulations to Bee for passing her third Rally Novice trial run yesterday at Southern Districts Kennel and Obedience Club. Dogs SA pending she will now be known as Barrowburn Bee CCD RN.

She’s still quite young at 21 months and all that thinking tired her out. 🥰
