Kingsmark Collies.......Making a Difference in Collies
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Bonnie and Robyn were the collies that helped raise me. They were both very loving, gentle and wise. So, there was no question about what breed I would choose when my lifestyle permitted. I moved from Colorado to Flagstaff, Arizona in the early 1980's and soon began showing collies.
Anna Adragna of Velvet Valley Collies was my first mentor. Together, we appreciated glamour, style and type but it was KINGSMARK who later made me realize the above was nothing without health, vigor and soundness

Ch. Kingsmark Lord Starfield was a flashy tri male who was in the top ten, nationally. I had great hopes of breeding him and producing my own line and family but instead I placed an emphasis on showing. I was successful at training.

Fortunately, my breeder friends wanted to place their show puppies we me and others wanted me to special their champions. It was a great comliment to have Ch. Kilkerrian Calypso and a real turning point in the way I was showing dogs. It was also during this period John and I entered into a partnership with the collies and into a compatible relationship.

Ch. Foxbride Dare to Bare (pictured) and Ch. Beechtree West Rawhide were two smooth I finished before showing exclusively Kingsmark.

After fishing Ch. Kingsmark Right on Target I began looking for the perfect smooth. John and I agreed that Ch. Kingsmark Just a Glance Away would be bred to Ch. Blossom Hill Barely Bronze. A litter of five smooths were produced, Ch. Kingsmark Full Disclosure, Ch. Kingsmark No Short Cuts, Ch. Kingsmark Mrs. Peel, Ch. Kingsmark I'm a Believer and Kingsmark Inside Out
