Derby has definitely exceeded my expectations in the show ring notching up some lovely wins from such a young age. So far he is a multi Class In Group and Class In Show winner, winning Baby In Show at his first outing and gaining his first Challenge and Best of Breed from Puppy Class. Then, to my amazement, we won the Junior Dog class at the 1st Border Collie Nationals in April 2006, receiving a lovely critique from the judge Mrs Heather Turner from Scotland:

 “…very attractive head, alert expression, nice eye, good ears, good front, lovely neck and shoulders, good length to height ratio, nice strong rear, good croup and tail set, really excelled on the move, very sound dog, very promising.”

His first two introductions to sheep also look promising with him showing natural instinct.

He’s such a pleasure to own, even though he can be a handful! Derby’s a big, cuddly
teddy bear that just loves everyone.

We are very excited to announce that Derby has become our first home bred Australian Champion, at just over 2 years of age. He completed his title at the Murray Valley Kennel Club show on 8th July 2007 under Mr Lance Heilmann.
