Currently I have three border collies, Beckett, Trey, and Callen.
Beckett was whelped in May, 2002. Her full name is V CHx U-CDX CH Quail Creek’s Quantum Leap UD OM1 HSAs. We earned our Utility Dog obedience title (UD) in August of 2009. It took 14 attempts to finish. Not too bad for my first Utility dog. We finished our UDX (Utility Dog Excellent) title on June 12, 2011. Beckett has also earned 3 OTCH points (Obedience Trial Champion).

Trey was whelped in February, 2006. Her full name is CH Quail Creek Imagine A Third One CDX HSAd HSBd. We are currently working on herding at the Advanced level. Trey finished her AKC championship on December 4, 2011, with three majors.
Trey finished her Companion Dog (CD) title on May 9, 2009 in three straight qualifying runs.
She finished her Companion Dog Excellent (CDX) title on November 17, 2011, with a few bumps in the journey but got it done all the same. She is now retired from obedience competitions to focus exclusively on herding.
Trey is an excellent herding dog with lots of instinct and intensity, coupled with fabulous biddability. Trey finished her HSAd title (started level arena ducks) on May 24, 2009, and also won two Reserve High in Trials.
Trey finished her HSBd title (started level big field ducks) at the BCSA National Specialty show (10/09) with three straight qualifying runs. She earned her first Intermediate B course qualifying run on November 5, 2011.
Trey had one litter of seven pups in April of 2008 and her second litter of eight was whelped in May of 2011.

My newest addition is Trey’s puppy from the 2011 litter – Callen.
She is Imagine The Event Horizon. She will be my next obedience dog since Beckett is now retired. I may or may not do herding with her, depending on several factors, my health being one of them. But she is already eager to play with me in the game of obedience.
