Description
Posted this Because I know my Sylvia will love this. Sylvia had 15years of breeding and showing ROUGH COLLIES. It took most of those years to produce a show quality dog.
Hannah was the last of around 12 Rough Collies that Sylvia owned, she lost Hannah back in 2005. I took the picture not many months before she passed on.
Hannah's Grandma, Gemma whom Sylvia had most success with won a Reserved Challenge Certificate (you need 3 CC's from 3 different judges to become a champion)
Sylvia still has a great interest in collecting anything to do with Rough Collies, paintings, prints, fine art statues and she has spent hours tracing back Pedigrees. She often says she misses her dogs so this is for her.
