He is 33 pounds and at last measure he was 21 inches. He is very emotional and also very competetive.  Can't Thanks enough! Im so glad I came across your website that day last year! "  Patty
Synergy has a very bright future as an agility competitor. I just love Syn and am sure she is going to be an amazing agility dog. But the best thing about her is that she is soooo easy to live with. She is not a spazzy BC at all. But when it is time to work (play) she is ready. Synergy can be seen at: http://bonker.homestead.com/index_syn.html
HNH On a Power Tripp has got a great home with Kathy Hunter.  Tripp is a member of the TNG flyball team.  He has a great future ahead of him.

I am just thrilled with Tripp! He’s loving and sweet but is also a true competitor who has the drive and athletic structure I was looking for in a sport dog. I can’t wait to start competing with him! ~ Kathy

Ali and Lilly II

Lilly is owned and loved by Ali.  Lily is her best friend and true live long companion!!

Flare resides with us.  She is our up and coming star!  Like all of her brothers and sisters - she is extremely loving and sweet, but willing to work and give you all of her athletic ability and intelligence anytime she is asked - always with a smile on her face.  Flare runs on our Fur in a Blur flyball team.
Lil Splash of Sunshine (Lily)

Lily is also and up and coming flyball and agility star.  She is just like her mother!  A focused driven worker - who is always willing to do what ever you ask of her with lots of zest. Lily has already debuted in the flyball ring running on our Fur in a Blur team posting a fastest time of 3.87!! 
Some words of Love expressed by owners of our previous litters:

Porsche/Risk litter -

"Wynd is full of attitude, I love it. And at agility practice she was going over 6" jumps all by herself, just cuz. I love her already, she is sooooo cudly lots of kisses and hugs to give lol, and then she turns around and wants to play with toys. Oh and she is potty trained, got on it right from the time she walked in the door and after 4 days she was perfect, she even whines when she has to go out. ~ Meaghan.


Abbey/Tripp litter - 

Synergy is just over 18” tall….. the wicket rocks on her. She just had a growth spurt last month. I measured her in the beginning of Sept and she was well under the wicket, well last weekend it rocked. That’s OK !! I do love her so. She is the sweetest dog. She is just so loving.. I LOVE IT!!! I have started training Syn a little more at my moms. I lowered my dogwalk and Aframe and have her ZOOMING across it. Holy cow does she run fast over the dogwalk. I haven’t decided what I am going to do with her contacts yet… make her stop or try for a running contact/ For a petite dog, she sure has a LONG STRIDE> WOOHOOO. I just love her structure. She is put together so well. She is very balanced, with LONG legs ! I Love long legs. 

Tripp is just so incredible. I love this dog!! He sounds a lot like Syn in personality. He is very driven and focused when we’re playing or “working” but he’s not over the top or neurotic in any sense of the word like other performance BCs I’ve been around. He settles very well and actually sleeps in his crate even at flyball tournaments. But when I take him out to tug at ringside, he clicks into work mode in a flash and starts lunging and going nuts! He growls and tugs and thrashes about, but all I have to do is say “Okay, let’s get ready” and he drops the tug, spins into position, and waits for his next command! He’s just amazing. I’ve never had a dog like this! Of course, he’s my first BC though! He too has a lot of herding instinct and I can’t wait to get him on sheep. I am just thrilled with Tripp! He's loving and sweet but is also a true competitor who has the drive and athletic structure I was looking for in a sport dog. I can't wait to start competing with him!

And yet some other happy puppy owners....

HNH Ace - formerly Maestro - is going to be living with Kathy and Bill Allen - experienced herding and obedience trainers and instructors. We are looking forward to hearing great things about him. Ace is an Abbey grandson.

"Thought you might like to see Jake as he is approaching his second birthday. Jake loves the snow. Jake just came into the room and laid his head on my lap, he is such a loving puppy. Jake and Coyote Joe (nine month old Maine Coon Kitten, almost fourteen pounds) get along so good, we call them the twins, as they are always together. When Jake is on a walk and someone is coming toward us, Jake gets on the ground in the position to herd. People just go on and on about how we have "trained" him. I finally stopped telling them about his breed, and just smile and say he was easy to train. Jake is a very smart puppy as you know, you cannot say words like "walk or ride" around him. We spell the words out, but I now believe Jake is learning what the letters mean. I know I don't have to tell you about him, as you have lived with them a lot longer than we have. We enjoy Jake very much and can't think of life without him. Thank you again for a fine puppy." ~ Cindy ~

"I cannot thank you enough for sending her (“Yaffa” - a type of orange – a very sweet orange for a very sweet dog) out here. The service, and courtesy you and your husband showed to us was beyond amazing. I know if anyone is interested in getting a Border Collie, you and Tim are the first people I am recommending." ~ Mick Huska ~
