Eowyn

July 2011: Eo qualifies for Crufts at her first champ show in the UK :)

Eowyn has joined us during our stay in the States, she is a lovely and lively girl, thank you Marty for giving her a great start in life, and thank you to Frank for letting me and Sue Large (Wizaland Border Collies) have her.

She came in, having just done two long trips across the States, and within minutes she was strolling around with all my dogs as if she'd always been here. Named Eowyn, the Shieldmaiden of Rohan in Lord of the Rings, she's confident, hardly anything phases her. She's very responsive to training, so we hope that she will have a go at obedience she comes to Britain as well as appearing in the conformation rings both in the US and in the UK. In 2009, she won her Sweeps class, as well as winning 12-18 Months Bitch at the BCSA National.

Her agility career was unfortunately cut short by her injuring her hind leg: she will not be doing any more agility (she only attended very few shows, but she Q'd in almost every run with very nice runs), but we are hoping that she will recover enough to be able to do some obedience. She really wants to please and very much enjoys any type of work / interaction that people give her.

Eo's greatest talent lies in herding: as a young puppy, she was ready to go! She has a lot of instinct and while she is naturally quite pushy, she's not interested in getting herself a free leg of lamb... She got her PT in June 2010, and it's all thanks to our instructor, Linda. Everyone who meets Eo, loves her — she's persuaded a number of people that they really want a Border Collie for their next dog. She's a smiley, easy going, girl, who really wants to please. If you do get to meet her somewhere, she loves cheese!

Eo gave us a beautiful litter of 5 puppies to Am Grand Ch Winpara Dragonfire, from which we have kept Buffy and Scheme in co-ownership. All the puppies are showing a lot of promise in all the sports they were chosen for, as well as conformation — Buffy finished her Am Ch at the age of 9 months and 2 days with 4 majors, having attended only 8 shows!
