Our first homebred puppy, Skye is our little diamond, a happy little lady who gives the best cuddles and is always looking for mischief. Her Kennel Club name is very apt as Skye is quite fearless in her approach to most things which has made her an excellent agility dog to date. She is always asking for more training - indoors and out - with anyone gullable enough to fall for her constant nagging look.

Skye is going to attend as many agility shows as possible this season to help Hayley qualify for the YKC Events at Crufts 2010. We are excited about campaigning her and will keep our results page updated.

Due to being attacked at her first agility class by three working sheepdogs, Skye is understandably quite wary of dogs she doesn't know.

She was the third born in Sunnie's first litter and I knew that she'd be the one for me as soon as I saw her. She was the smallest and has always had to fight hard to get what she's wanted, this has made her a confident, go-geddit kinda pup! (Not always a good thing)!

A complete wish come true for me and my girls we are expecting big things from this little lady. Be it agility, flyball or breed showing, somehow our dream is to go to Crufts as a competitor.

We made our dream a reality and qualified Skye for Crufts 2008, see our Page dedicated to the day we made it to the most prestigious Dog Show on earth >>

Both Monty and Jake belong to close friends of ours and visit regularly (to be put in their place by 'Little Sister'). During their 14th week we all started Puppy Training Classes. All three pups did really well considering the distractions. Skye behaved impeccably and impressed the Trainer for one so young. I must admit she is incredibly easy to train and picks things up straight away. She thrives on one-to-one attention - just as well she has her Mum, Aunty Tips and two children to choose from!

Hayley handles Skye in the Junior Handling Classes and is placed at nearly every Show we attend. I have recently allowed Hayley to handle Skye in the breed classes and they are usually placed.

We have decided to concentrate on her agility training for now, so flyball will have to wait a while.

In her spare time Hayley and Sally-Anne have been teaching her Heelwork to Music moves; roll over, twist, turn, perch, through, creep, bow......... Oh, I'm exhausted!! Just as well the border collie brain needs stimulation!!

See Skye's son from her first litter born 27/01/2010 - Sire is Bekkis Virutoso.
