Hol's had to be retired this year due to arthritis in her front wrist joint. I had hoped to be able to retire her at Crufts this year but it wasn't to be. I miss not working her but she has adapted to retirement better than I thought she would & is enjoying (well as much as Holly could) her retirement.
Holly is a Working Sheepdog - the majority of Obedience dogs are. There are some extremely successful Border Collies in Ob though. Working sheepdogs tend to be from generations of obedience lines :-). She has many illustrious dogs in her line but one was Ob Ch Twisty of Challysfar who won the Crufts Ob Ch in 1988.
Super cute little girlie,very impressive well done to you both x
