July 2009: We are going to enter Gala in her first herding trial (probably in September)!
Gala is exactly what I'd been waiting for — thank you, Sue! She has a lovely temperament, friendly but not pushy (until you let her lick you that is ... once she discoveres that that is an option, there's no stopping her). She's confident when encountering new things, she's very trainable and is absolutely gorgeous.
In 2006, we mainly focused on showing her in conformation, rather than overloading her with obedience and agility as well. In the breed ring, she qualified for Crufts many times as well as qualifying for Border Collie Puppy of the Year by winning Minor Puppy Bitch at her first big Champ show. Despite having dropped her coat by the time Puppy of the Year came around in November, she got through to the final in Minor Puppy Bitch. She has obtained her Junior Warrant and so is qualified for Crufts for life. She is a powerful mover, with a stunning side gait. In the US, she finished her championship very quickly (considering she had a puppy in between when she came and when she got her title!).
Gala has an incredible amount of potential in agility — she is now working Grade 4 back in the UK. My friend Amanda has videoed some of her runs (see below for links next to the results), you can see that she's fast and very easy to control. Thanks to Dave for his help with tightening up Gala's turns, let's see if it makes a difference when we return to the UK! As well as gaining her NA, she has two legs towards her NAJ title, we are however currently focusing on working her on sheep as neither Gala nor Aragorn are coping too well with the indoor agility venue surfaces in the US.
