Meg was purchased in California as an 8-week-old pup and has developed into a very stylish, focused and strong bitch, who is showing good potential on the trials field. She is a daughter of Ted (ABCA 151779) and Lyn (ABCA 160030).
Meg did not run in the nurseries but started trialling in Open trials in 2008 where she won her first Open trial on the biggest hill course at Bobby Dalziel's place in Scotland!! She qualified for, and ran in, the Welsh National in 2008. She also qualified for the 2009 Welsh National but has been unable to compete since June due to injury. She has now recovered from this injury and will trial again in 2010. Prior to this, Meg has won two Open trials and placed (top 6) another 9 times.
Meg is a pleasure to work with as she is always keen, always giving 150% and ever wanting to please. She is full of work and has seemingly endless energy. Meg is a good outrunner, always looking for sheep as she goes. She loves to outrun, lift and fetch under no command. Meg is a very direct bitch walking straight on to any kind of sheep. She can move any sheep, even the most cantakerous! She has good pace and feel for her sheep. She's not always easy to handle because of her speed but that's more a function of the inexperience (and poor timing) of her handler! Meg has a terrific temperament and is bombproof around kids, other dogs, and loud noises. Nothing fazes her.
Meg is simply a terrific animal! From her first litter of pups we kept two pups - Kinloch Sioux and Kinloch Tina - and both have won Open trials in the UK. Sioux has won 6 trials and placed another 16 times in Open trials. Both seem to have inherited Meg's speed, outrunning abilities and fantastic temperament. In the US, a litter brother, Kinloch River, qualified for the 2009 USBCHA Nursery Finals. From her second litter, Kinloch Cian and Kinloch Steffi are shaping up nicely and may debut in the nurseries in 2010. Another brother, Kinloch Rhys, is showing tremendous abilities for a young dog.
