Jamie is a tremendous young dog who won his first trial at 11 months of age. To date he has won 28 Open trials including wins at Loweswater, Devonport, Carnwath, and in Sweden. He has also won at home in the Ettrick Valley hill trials where he has competed against 2006 International Supreme Champion Joe. Wins at home include Rangecleuch, Hillhead, Netherbrae, Netherhill, Burnside, Hillend, and Hayfield. On most of these courses, he has won multiple times.
Jamie has also placed (top 6) in another 50 Open trials, including a very good second place in the Broadgair Hill Double lift trial, and other placings at Debdon, Breviksnäs (Sweden), Yarrow, Cocklicks, New Cumnock, College Valley, Whitley Chapel, Potlaw, Devonport and he was 5th at the South of Sweden Club Championship. Jamie was an alternate at the 2008 World Sheepdog Trials.
Angie purchased Jamie from Bobby Dalziel in May 2009. It has not been an easy transition for Jamie going from a top class handler to Angie (!) but Jamie is managing! He is such a quick dog that your timing has to be spot on with him so it is taking some time to get used to that. We managed to get two placings together in trials in 2009 - the best being a second placing at the Myniddislywn trial on a full national course. Jamie replaced an injured Meg at the Welsh National but handler error saw a sub-par performance for Jamie. Perhaps we'll get our act together for the 2010 trial season, and if not, Jamie is a wonderful dog to have around. He is ever keen, always enthusiastic and has a superb temperament. He is a tremendous work dog who does not lack for skill in any area of his job.
Jamie is a saddleback border collie. We prefer to think of him as a fine animal who is darned good at his job, and has proven himself on the trial field many times!
Jamie is now available at stud. We also have a limited supply of A.I. semen available. Please contact Angie for details at 2angiecan@gmail.com.
