In 1996 I was blessed with my first Border Collie, MACH Comebye Nonstop Nina CDX, MAD. I have been spoiled ever since, she is still at 12 years old my best friend and mentor to what my life with dogs has been and still is. Nina opened doors for me not only in the competition ring but also media, entertainment and most importantly all the friends I have made because of her. Now her kids and grandkids carry the torch and keep me on this incredible journey.

I don't breed often only when I'm ready for my next dog but all the dogs have been CERF, OFA, BAER and CEA tested. I believe temperament is part of their health and as important as any other clearance.
