These were 6 of our 7 original Border Collies. We haven't located a picture of Zoey yet, but we will post it as
soon as we do. These were all registered with the AIBC.
This is Annabelle. She is on the top of this page because Anna was tops in our book. I never once heard her
growl. She was the ultimate Mother to all of the dogs. She could whip a wild pup into shape with her mere presence.
Anna was the daughter of Bear and Zelda. We named her Annabelle after Lucille Ball. Annabelle was a wild puppy,
but she outgrew all of that and was pure joy to live with.

This is Bear. He is a greatgreatgrandson of ##Wiston Cap. We bought Bear in 1986. He was the best Border
Collie anyone could ever hope for.

This is Tess on our farm in Asheville, NC. Tess was a granddaughter of Sagebrush Sage and her lines go back to
some great North Carolina working dogs on her mother's side. Tess carried the red gene. She produced both sheep
and cowdogs. She will always be in our hearts.
This is our Zelda. She was named after F. Scott Fitzgerald's wife, Zelda. Zelda was a fabulous loving dog.
She also carried the red gene. Zellie was a greatgranddaughter of Ada Karrasch's great trial dog, Nan. Her lines
also go back to McTier's #Ben. We are sure she is waiting for us over the rainbow bridge.

This is Benjamin Frank. He was named after my greatgreatgrandfather. We called him Ben. Ben was a chocolate
sable merle. He produced the greatest cowdogs!! His lines go back to the Kuykendall's Rock and Salt and Sue Noll's
dogs in Colorado.

This is Miss Kate. She was named after my greatgrandmother. Kate's lines go back to #Dryden Joe. She
was the ultimate house dog. Kate loved to play hide and seek and could talk in long sentences. She was the perfect
Border Collie.
I took this picture of Zoey the day our dear friend, Tommy, brought her to our farm in Winston-Salem. Zoey had
been bought as a puppy by a lady who was legally blind. She was killed in a car accident shortly thereafter, and Zoey
spent the first year of her life in a pen in the lady's sister's yard. The first thing that Zoey did when she got out
of the truck was run around the farm 55 times, as Jake, Tommy, and I counted. Then she treed our neighbor's cat.
Jake fell in love with her instantly. Zoey stayed with us from that moment on.
Sassy and Phoebe, waiting over the Rainbows Bridge
