Beckett (born 5/02) is my second border collie. She is my first breed champion, my first herding-titled dog, and my joy. She is very willing to please and learns new tasks easily. Beckett is out of Chic, an American-bred black and white bitch, and is by Rio Run Gill, a Welsh-bred tri-colored dog.
Beckett had her obedience Utility debut in Peoria, IL, on September 14, 2008. Unfortunately, we NQ'd on the very last jump, but I was very pleased with her effort. I see a UD after her name within the year!
Beckett and I earned our first Utility leg on November 16, 2008 with a first placement -- only our 4th time in the Utility ring! We were the only qualifiers out of 11 dogs. Beckett earned her 2nd Q on June 7, 2009, again with a first placement. We finally finished our UD title on August 9, 2009, out of the Utilty B class. It took us 14 tries to get those 3 legs. We also earned our first UDX leg on the same day.
Beckett earned her AKC Started A sheep title in just 3 weekends. Not too bad for a novice handler and a very eager dog. Beckett still 'plays' at herding but her herding career is unfortunately over.
Beckett is spayed.
