Ch Hamlock Do Ewe Want To Dance RN HSAs OA NAJ AOM is a lovely boy who has proved that he can excel at whatever is asked of him.  Striker won Best Opposite Sex at the BCSA National Puppy Sweepstakes in 2004 (his littermate, Sassy, won Best Puppy in Sweeps) and finished his Championship easily. Because he is busy with performance events he is rarely shown.  In 2008 he won an Award of Merit at the Kentuckiana Tartan Border Collie Club Specialty against stiff competition.  Another of Striker's littermates, BISS Ch Avatar's Crusader Of Bayshore ("Liam"), won Best of Breed at the 2006 BCSA National Specialty.

Striker has natural rate and balance on sheep.  He takes his flanks easily, stays wide and is careful to not run his sheep. In Rally and Agility he is very responsive to his handler.

Striker's pedigree combines lines from Australia and New Zealand, and includes some of the top producing dogs from both countries.

Striker's Hips are OFA Excellent and his elbows are normal. His eyes are CERF clear and his CEA, CL & TNS Genotype is pending.

BonniDune The Future Is Now is a combination of top Australian, British, New Zealand, and American show lines bred back to the ultimate working line of Dual International Supreme Champion Spot (ISDS # 161819). "Sheena" is 3/4 British and 1/4 Australasian lines. Her sire is DC Lydeardlea Angel In Disguise who was imported from Great Britain. "Joey" has won multiple Awards of Merit at Border Collie specialties. Her dam is our own Ch Tainsh New Dawn At BonniDune HSAs STDs, a daughter of DC Majestic Outlander CDX OTDs AOM AOE ROM.

Sheena has only been shown a few times because I've been waiting for her to mature. She seems to have found the fountain of youth, however, because whenever I have her out in public everyone asks how old my "puppy" is!

Sheena's multi-titled littermate, Blitz, won the 2005 BCSA National Specialty Puppy Sweepstakes and the 2006 BCSA National Specialty Performance Titled Match. Blitz is a breed champion and is well on his way toward his Master Agility Championship and his Herding Championship. Sheena's other littermates include Mac, who won a Best of Breed over specials for a 3-point major, and Risky, who earned his CD with placements out of Novice A, finished his CDX with style, has begun agility, and in herding won a High in Trial his first weekend out - all trained and shown by a junior handler.

Puppies from Sheena's first litter are now starting to tear up the herding trial field and the agility ring.

Sheena has fantastic angulation and she practically floats when she moves. She displays great promise on stock. Sheena is naturally wide, and has developed more "push" as her experience and confidence have grown. She is responsive to the slightest body movement and is by far the fastest dog I own.

Sheena is CEA and CL Genotype Normal/Clear by parentage. Her hips are OFA Good and her elbows are Normal.
