More Titles! our collies are more active than our website!

Wow, its been awhile since I updated this site. We have a Facebook group for High Country Collies that is regularly updated, and its not linked to this site, so I often forget to post here. Our Tri boy Levi is now a Canadian Grand Champion, and so is his daughter, Gemma! Both are working on their Bronze, with Levi halfway there and Gemma about a quarter of the way. She's out of coat right now, so we are doing performance sports with her instead of conformation.

Gemma (GCH High Country Catch Your Breath) is our first home bred champion from our first and so far only litter. She just titled in Sprinters, which is Fast Cat if you're in the US. Her top speed was 41 KPH! That's 25 1/2 MPH! This girl is FAST, and she loves to run! 

Gemma also received her Open title in Scent Detection, and she is already in Masters Exterior while completing her Excellent Interior and Containers. She's fast, efficient and very confident in this sport; a real easy dog to work with and read. Next week she goes for her herding instinct test, and then its off to her first barn hunt trial! There's so much you can do with your collies to keep them active and fulfilled!

On the health testing front, Gemma's OFA hips came back as Excellent and her elbows as Good. We plan to breed her on her next heat to a beautiful GCH Tri with excellent hips who also competes and excels in performance sports. Gemma is genetically clear for all testable diseases, so we are expecting a healthy and sound litter, with conformation prospects, performance prospects and pet home placements. 

​Levi is off to his next conformation show in July, with Gemma still growing coat for her August return to the ring. Here are very recent photos of Levi and Gemma doing what they love best.
