it is that certain dogs I have known will go to heaven,
and very, very few persons."

CH Tartanside Allegiance, ROM x CH Vennessee's Enchanted Crystal

 

Tiffany's Gallery

~ Tiffany's Pedigree ~


Tiffany has been patiently waiting her turn to be shown. She is the last of the CH Tartanside Allegiance x CH Vennessee's Enchanted Crystal kids that we have here at Spellbound Collies that we are campaigning from that litter; well, the last one that we own anyhow! There is a chance one or two other littermates may be campaigned at some point. Tiffany's littermates Lenox & Tiara are both finished champions. Tiffany 'officially' began her show career a few weeks ago in late May 2008 and already has several points including back-to-back WB/BW/BOV with a GROUP 4 placement from the classes. She is another one of Crystal's kids that we are so very proud of.

In 2004, having only been shown a handful of times she was awarded the very prestigous Best Outline win at Sunnybank on August 22, 2004. Tiffany handled like a real pro! From the time Tiffany was a tiny pup we were ooohing and aaahing over her beautiful bodylines. She is beautifully balanced - not overdone and we are very excited about the future with Tiffany here at Spellbound!

June 15, 2008 Update: Tiffany has been sitting home patiently waiting her turn. We are thrilled to announce that she had a great weekend. On Saturday June 14, 2008 she went WB/BW/BOV - Grand Traverse KC, MI. On Sunday June 15th she went WB/BW/BOV and a GROUP 4 Placement - Grand Traverse KC, MI!!!!



_______________

Tiffany's hips are OFA Good.

From the Collie Standard:

Neck
The neck is firm, clean, muscular, sinewy and heavily frilled. It is fairly long, carried up right with a slight arch at the nape and imparts a proud, upstanding appearance showing off the frill.

Body
The body is firm, hard and muscular, a trifle long in proportion to the height. The ribs are well-rounded behind the well-sloped shoulders and the chest is deep, extending to the elbows. The back is strong and level, supported by powerful hips and thighs and the croup is sloped to give a well-rounded finish. The loin is powerful and slightly arched. Noticeably fat dogs, or dogs in poor flesh, or with skin disease, or with no undercoat are out of condition and are moderately penalized accordingly.

Tail
The tail is moderately long, the bone reaching to the hock joint or below. It is carried low when the dog is quiet, the end having an upward twist or swirl. When gaited or when the dog is excited it is carried gaily but not over the back.

Coat
The well-fitting, proper-textured coat is the crowning glory of the rough variety of Collie. It is abundant except on the head and legs. The outer coat is straight and harsh to the touch. A soft, open outer coat or a curly outer coat, regardless of quantity is penalized. The undercoat, however, is soft, furry and so close together that it is difficult to see the skin when the hair is parted. The coat is very abundant on the mane and frill. The face or mask is smooth. The forelegs are smooth and well feathered to the back of the pasterns. The hind legs are smooth below the hock joints. Any feathering below the hocks is removed for the show ring. The hair on the tail is very profuse and on the hips it is long and bushy. The texture, quantity and the extent to which the coat "fits the dog" are important points.



"Buttercups in the sunshine look like little cups of gold.
Perhaps the Faeries come to drink the raindrops that they hold."
 ~Elizabeth T. Dillingham, "A Faery Song"
