The puppy I kept from Willow’s 3rd and final litter, Bliss began her show career at 6 months, winning Minor Puppy Bitch at South Wales Championship Show, qualifying her for both Puppy of The Year and Crufts 2005. Only in the ring for the latter half of 2004, she was nonetheless awarded Puppy of The Year for both the West of England and The Midlands Border Collie Clubs, and for Midlands, she was 2nd Top Show Bitch and 3rd Top Overall Border Collie.
Still in Junior, she won 3 classes and Best Bitch at Wessex Border Collie Club Show, in June 2005, then won Yearling Bitch at The Three Counties Championship Show and was awarded her Junior Warrant and Stud Book Number by the Kennel Club, which qualifies her for Crufts for life.
Bliss by name, she is Bliss by nature. Pretty as a picture, she went Best Puppy in Show at 3 Companion Dog Shows and she's clever too - just for fun, we entered Pre-Beginners Obedience at MBCC and had to run off for 1st place! Bliss got her Gold KC Good Citizen Award at 15 months.
In April 06 she produced 9 beautiful B&W pups to Sh Ch Caristan Moet Chandon JW and I just had to keep Fizz (see Foxbarton Lady Chandon JW ShCM). Back in the ring by October, she won the Germal Trophy and Best of Breed at Beckenham and at both Crufts 2007 and 2008, she gained 2nd place under breed specialists Judith Gregory and Angela Gillespie respectively.
Bliss's second litter, also by Sh Ch Caristan Moet Chandon JW, arrived in August 2007. Two boy pups caught my eye, one of which was Blaze (Foxbarton Taittinger JW). Do look at his page - I've had such fun showing him for his owner, Val Hawker and he has done very well.
In June 2008, I started Working Trials training with Bliss. She was enjoying it so much that, just as a training exercise, she did her first Trial, eight weeks later - the CD Open Stake (Companion Dog) at Midlands Border Collie Club. She's such a quick learner, she got sufficient marks in all three sections to qualify for her Certificate of Merit. Just a month later she did her first Championship Working Trial and qualified again, this time to add the letters CDex (Companion Dog Excellent) to her name. I am so proud of her.
