Meet Our Border Collies
Honor
Gleneagles In K.C.'s Honor, FGDCH, TN-N, "Honor" DOB 8/15/97, AKA "Bubba Dude". Honor has been racing with Fur Fun since February of 2002. Honor was a core member of the A team for several years and helped Fur Fun reach a personal best time of 16.6 in 2006. Honor lives for flyball but also enjoys, swimming, tracking and is a certified assistance dog. He can be seen helping Cindy train her assistance dog clients and giving her presentations for Paws With A Cause where he demonstrates various tasks assistance dogs perform, including retrieving anything from coins and credit cards to heavy backpacks and alerting to a phone ringing. Honor also "says his prayers" and plays "sad dog". Honor does everything at full speed and has no regard for his body. And, whatever you do, don't try to get out the door without him. He will not be left at home if there is anything that he can do about it. Honor is also very much a 'mama's boy'. As a puppy, his breeder said that he never fussed until Cindy came to visit, then he barked like crazy until she picked him up. Cindy says he picked her, not the other way around. He's been her constant companion ever since. Honor is named after Cindy's first male Border Collie, K.C., who she lost shortly before Honor came home. Honor is loved by Cindy and Carl Tier and lives near State College, PA.
Shiner
Quicksilver First Light, OA, OAJ, FGDCH60K
Shiner (Shineroo, Shinosaur, Girlie-girl) is from Sprint’s last litter, born in August, 2002. She learned flyball incredibly easily and has run consistently sub-4-second times throughout her career. Her best time was a 3.75. She is a noteworthy agility dog, and an effortless disc dog as well. She has also produced some amazing flyball and agility performers. She specializes in reading Deb’s mind, and relies on that gift to succeed at all in agility, as Deb isn’t much help as a handler. Her favorite activity is organizing the Norman household and keeping visiting dogs in line.
Sky
Quicksilver No Passing Zone FGDCh. Fastest time 4.0. Sky is Rafe's first bc, and is also a Hustle / Winger son. He does everything - disc, agility herding. An all around kind of dog, ready to go when you say the word!
He still at 9 years old, runs 4.1-4.2 and gives it his all!
Ticker
ADCh Quicksilver Time Bomb, OA, AXJ, FGDCH80K
Ticker (Sticky-Ticki, Girlfriend) is Deb’s first border collie and her oldest dog. Born in March, 1997, she is a Sprint daughter, and started playing when she was just a year old. Her best times were in the 3.9s, and she still clocked them at the ago of 10. She is also a wonderful agility dog, and worked as a Therapy dog as well, playing fetch in retirement communities for several years. But her favorite game is Tickerball, played with a toy in the mouth and a ball batted around with the front paws. Other fave activity is monitoring cats – you really have to keep an eye on those creatures.
