Ella went to her very first show she handled it like a pro though she only took Reserve I was very impressed with how she handled things. It was a different sort of flooring ( held at a sports dome) the flooring was made of artifical turff, in which all 3 dogs have never been on, and I must say I am so proud of them not having an issue walking or gaiting on the turff! Though Ella did the "Puppy Wiggle" on the exam seeming to say (oh,yeah, he's coming to pet me...) She gated and showed beautifully.

Another sad day at Bluwave Collies as we said good-bye to our sweet little Grandma dog
Ashly who was 151/2. She raised 4 collies a dobie (who we lost last year) and a litter of puppies.Her little body just could not keep up anymore so we had to let her go. It's very hard loosing 2 dogs in a year. She is now happy free of pain and youthful once again. As she crossed the bridge to be with Logan,Brandy (our golden) and her other favorite person...My father inlaw who loved her as much as I did. Rest well sweet girl your work here is done, and what a great job you did.Please visit Ashly's memorial page.
