Tracey handling now, Ch. Clarion White Lightning at the CCofA in 2005.

Zues took  1st Place in the open white class and they were a crowd favorite.  Zeus is owned by my good friend Jeanie Driscoll whom together with, we have bred several beautiful champions .

I have always had a love of animals  that started when I was a child.   My oldest sister and I shared the same love and interest in dogs.  As teenagers, we  started training dogs and  soon joined the local dog  obedience club. We were hooked.   As soon as my sister was old enough to drive, we were off to the dog shows with mom riding along for the day.  My obedience dog was Ranger, a lovley German Shepherd dog who earned his CD.  In time, I decided I would like to try showing in the conformation ring.   I had long admired the collie and thought I would like to learn more about them  so, I bought my first collie and started studying.  

It's nearing 30 years later, I am still studying and learning from so many wonderful friends and mentors that I have met along the way.  

I have a wonderful family who shares their love for the dogs.   My husband and son have been great partners on the road or take up the slack while I'm away at the shows.  My daughters have been very active in the showring right along side me over the years.   Our Collies are a very important part of our family.
