Border Collies

Spitfire

Spitfire is aptly named, small, very fast, very clever and indefatigable. Unlike her namesake she is however very gentle, even tempered and submissive. Spitfire has a lovely line behind her, she is great grand daughter of our wonderful Cider, a grand daughter to the gorgeous Esther and a daughter of the exquisite Petra, her father is the Hercules - and Border Collies don't come better than that!

I was captivated by her sheer beauty; she was slimly built with a beautifully proportioned body and graceful curves just where they should be. In every way ..... she looked the dream of what one sought.
The Right Honourable The Lord Balfour of Inchyre, PC, MC, Under Secretary of State for Air, 1938-1944 writing of the Supamarine Spitfire

Spitfire has always stood out in a crowd, it is not just her unusual colouring but also her delightful habit of working her way into everyone's affections

Spitfire has grown from an irresistible baby into an irresistible adult. Spitfire is effusive and electric with energy, she never really stops and has an insatiable appetite for learning new skills whether it be agility, new heelwork to music moves or trick for the sake of tricks. Spitfire is clever, lovable and very sweet. Spitfire has passed her Bronze, Silver and Gold Kennel Club Good Citizens Dog Scheme tests.
