• A new guest came here to being part of my pack for a while, it is a Tally daughter, aged nearly 12 weeks: Ebony of Bron Yr Aur, born in an excellent Hungarian kennel, which prefers the english lines. Ebony is an outstanding little, black bitch, full of life, sparkles in her eyes, very outgoing, good nerves, curious and calm, but also funny and a clown as her Daddy.
  She is beautifully angulated, has got a lovely headshape, good bones and an enormous movement. She will be my guest until the right co-owner will be found, because she is far too good for not to being shown.

• New photos of Jayden Lee at the age of 5 months and Indigo Blue from Germany, aged 18 months.

• Firewall Just Secure OGB and his owner Petra gained the title Styrian Champion in Agility, highest grade!!!
  What a "WOW" on their very first start in class 3, winning the Styrian Championship, I'm so proud of you both!

• In the Hungarian Kennel "Bron Yr Aur" a litter, sired by our Tally, was born: 5 boys and 2 girls, all black and white and healthy. The puppies are quite dark but with lovely markings. We are sure they will make their way in the showring as in sports, some boys are still available. It would be great to have the one or other son of Tally here in Austria, because they really look good and promising. Please keep informed on the Bron Yr Aur website or contact me or his breeder Kati or the bitches owner Reka.

• It has been three really busy months for me, my dogs (especially the maiden mum "Grace") and my offspring, Tally, has produced a lovely litter near Vienna and mated a lovely bitch. So here are the news as following:
• Tally mated the beautiful bitch Casablanca of Bron Yr Aur,  which is living with Reka Dekei in Hungary. She seems to be in whelp, this litter will be born around 4th of September. The breeder is looking for a really good home for a co-ownership!
  We expect lovely Border Collie puppies in black/white, which should be well made for working and especcially for the showring.
  Keep informed at "Bron Yr Aur"-kennels: http://www.freeweb.hu/bron-yr-aur/e_e.html

• Tallys litter out of Sparkling Guy's Alis Volat Propriis - "Lucy" produced 6 lovely puppies, 4/2, 1/1 chocolate/white. They're 9 weeks old now and are leaving their first home. I'm wishing lovely families and a fantastic life!
