Rokatisha's Border Collies

6 February

I have changed the frontpage of our website from a springtime picture to a winter picture. I was going too fast. But we are also very happy with this kind of weather. Underneath a picture of mother Floss and daughter Lass who are equally tall at this moment. And I have changed the page of Lass. The text is changed, I have brought Mottled to the colour of Lass as she is getting more and more spots, and I have enclosed her pedigree.

2 February

We have started !!!

Yesterday Lass became 10 months old. A nice age to start Herding. Of course she has been with the sheep before but now we will start to really train her and regularly. It's so exciting to start !!! Esther, who has Nash (Litter 2011, Jim x Floss) the brother of Lass, has been so kind to take pictures. And of course she has also been with the sheep with Nash.

30 January

This morning Bert and Denver (Litter 2011, Jim x Floss) unexpectedly came by. This was a nice surprise. Of course I made pictures.

19 January

It has been 4 years already since we had our 2nd litter (Rose x Tweed). The litter with Sem, Jessie, Tika, Brum, Jason, Jess, Imme and Floss. We want to congratulate everybody !!!

Of course this also means that our Floss is now 4 years old. She has grown up from the puppy of 8 weeks on the picture underneath to a dog after our own heart !!!

2 January

Yes, finally an English version of our website. When I saw that a quarter of our visitors in December were from abroad, I really thought it was about time. And now it's here ! Please have some consideration for my English !

And again a picture of our Lass. She is 9 months old already. And also one of Lass playing with Sientje, her big girlfriend.

2012 !!!

A new year has started. A year in which we will begin to train Herding with Lass. Who of us we don't know yet. A year in which Wim hopes to start trialling with Cytie. Always so exciting ! A year in which we hope that Floss gets her last promotionpoint to get in the Qualification/Open Class. It would be really nice for us if we can compete with both mother Rose and daughter Floss in the Open Class. But of course father Tweed from Ellen and Serge van der Zweep is also in that Class. And a year in which we hope to breed another litter with Floss in the Autumn. All very nice plans but above all we plan to enjoy life with our dogs !!!

We wish everybody a healthy, happy and sportive 2012 !!!
