Hello and welcome.
I currently share my home and my life with 4 dogs.
Let me introduce them.
However first in memory of Dusty or Yeoman of Marduik if we wish to formal.
This was Dusty with Lisa, his favourite dancing partener.
Sadly in 2010 we had to say say goodbye to this wonderful collie.
He taught me and others so much and was a faithful friend to the very end.
Now in charge of the pack is Mr Chips. I found him as a young dog, hitchhiking on his own through the Belgian Ardennes. He is far too clever for me and limits his public appearances to displays of clicker training, although rumour has it he has discovered a latent talent for Frisbee.
Next is Chicka, bred by Monique, a friend of mine.
Chicka's mum is Yaris, she has competed in Advanced freestyle classes and Chicka's sister, Chivas has also reached Advanced level. What a talented family :)
Chicka is an absolute star and competes at Advanced level despite the obvious handicap of having me as a dance partner.
A couple of years ago we were giving a demo at a rescue centre and came home with Kookie.
He sees himself as more of an action hero but will occasionally compete, just for fun.
Last but not least:
IamJames of Xilver Highland
He was just a bundle of fluff but a year later he is growing into a handsome chap.
