EASTER WEEKEND

Paula (TOOKURRA BORDER COLLIES) and I made the trek south east to Mt Gambier for the easter long weekend of showing. It was good to catch up and do a little bit of winning in the ring between us- Kobi took BOB (21pt) at AM show on Sat - which was great! Tanami is now sitting on 87 points- not many to go before she gets her title. Cant wait! We also did a bit of sight seeing- Blue Lake, Cave garderns etc. The seven dogs between us behaved really well and it was a pleasure to play with Koda- Paula's 11 wk old Kobi grandson. It was also a good opportunity to meet other Border Breeders with a bigger than normal entry of borders.
