"Angel"
OFA Excellent
Eyes CERFed clear Angel came to us when we spoke to Russell McCord
who said he had a dog we just had to see. He called her the hollywood
dog. Angel is a split faced, black and white female with a
blue eye. She is named after the lyrics in the song from Phantom
of the Opera-Angel of the night. Her personality is as striking
as her face. She is a love to all people with a drive to work, typical
of the American working Border Collie.
Angel entered her first conformation show with her first love, Alan,
at the end of the lead. It was the first conformation show for both
of them. She was in the 9-12 month puppy class. Since Alan taught
her to stack in 15 minutes, it wasnt much of a stretch for
her to pull off a 5 point major her first time out and reserve the
next day. We finished her championship with limited showing and
she became the first CHX in the state of Texas.
In between
shows, she earned multiple herding titles. She has a lot of eye
and bite when you need it. She puts that loving temperament into
her puppies as well as stock sense.
Angel has produced
litters from Russell McCord's Sam and our own Spur. All the puppies
started showing stock interest by 6 to 8 weeks and talent by 9 weeks.
Several of these puppies are currently working on cattle ranches
or competition of some kind. They have shown excellent working ability,
talent, sound temperament and overall delightful disposition!
Be watching for Angel puppies to hit the show and trial circuit
soon.
