JLm Harold CBCA 10311
Harold is a 13 year old, tri-colored male. He is an Open level trial dog on sheep and has won or placed highly in several trials over his career, including being a Calgary Stampede finalist. He is my main competition partner.
More information:
Harold is our pride and joy! He is a line-bred pup from the crossing of Sky to Marvin that we kept from our 2012 fall litter. He is the last pup of Sky and our beloved Marvin. Harold has a great temperament with people and is a spitting image of his father Marvin. The combination of Marvin's talent and tremendous heart with Sky's excellent feel for stock proved to be a great crossing. Harold has an excellent eye and feel for his sheep and is always in the right place at the right time. After a successful Nursery year and excellent showing at the 2015 Calgary Stampede where he came 4th out of 60 dogs on the 2nd day, Harold has become my top Open competitor. Harold also can work cattle well. He has produced pups that have gone on to be both successful as sheep and cattle dogs.

More Information
Rip is very special to us. He is a son of our great Harold. Rip's mother Kip is a very well bred female coming from strong cattle lines. She is sired by CKF Mac who goes back to hall of fame JR Red. One of the best cattle dog producing sires out there. Kip's dam side goes back to Montgomery's great dog Ben and Gonnet's Ettrick Meg. Rip is biddable but tough. He has a good temperament and is becoming a very good trial dog. Rip has a beautiful outrun and natural lift. He reads his sheep very well, and can handle even the most difficult sheep, from nervous ewes with fresh lambs to tough rams. He is a beautiful, big boned, rough coated dog with an unforgettable ear set, LOL. Sadly Rip proved to be sterile and will never sire a litter, but he makes up for it in his ability as a competition dog and my best friend. He is truly one of a kind.
Rip received a clear DNA panel from Paw Print Genetics. He is clear for CEA, TNS, I-GS, Multidrug resistance, CL, and Sensory Neuropathy.
JLM Eeva CBCA 14663
Eeva is a 8 year old tri-colored female. She had a very successful first trial year as a yearling competing in a couple Nursery and Pro-Novice level classes. Unfortunately due to COVID-19, competitions for 2020 were cancelled and Eeva missed running her Nursery year.
More Information
Eeva is a very special girl that we kept from our breeding of Abby to Harold late 2017. Abby required an emergency c-section for this litter of 9 pups, and the moment I was brought in to the ICU to see all 9 live pups swimming around in the incubator, I fell in love with Eeva. She was the tiniest of the bunch, with this unique ying-yang swirl over her face and head. She was the feistiest of them all and at that moment I knew she was my pup. When her eyes popped open at two weeks old, her bright blue eyes were more than a surprise ! I decided to name her Eeva, my little Alien. Eeva not only is my very special girl, but she is proving to be a very talented dog to train. She is hot-headed and has a short fuse when she doesn't understand something so she takes patience to train, but she is the perfect blend of her parents Harold and Abby. She is a beautiful outrunner and has a really good eye for balance. She has an excellent trial future ahead of her.
Eeva has a clear DNA panel through parentage. Significance for breeding : Eeva can be mated to any male and never produce pups Affected with any of the 7 testable diseases by PawPrint Genetics.
Eeva has had her hips OFA certified and her hips were rated GOOD.
Abby CBCA 11050
Abby is a 12 year old, black and white female. She is now retired from competition due to injury, but in her prime was one of my main Open trial dogs. Abby had 3 litters of pups in her career and is now retired from breeding. She is a loving member of our family and still works sheep here at home.

Abby came to us from Manitoba. She not only brought some excellent genetics to our breeding program, she has become a great Open trial competitor for me. Her sire, Del'Mar Skeet comes from very good breeding, carrying two international supreme champions in his pedigree. Abby's mother Nell can be traced back to 3 time US National Champion, Berhow's Nick. Abby is a sweet and calm minded female that makes everyone who meets her fall in love with her. On her sheep she is a big outrunner, has beautiful balance, is very stock smart, and is the type of dog that I love to work with. Abby is the mother to our Eeva.
Abby has been Optigen DNA tested clear for CEA with genetics rated Normal.

Even as a very young dog, JLM William, aka. "Bill", has been exceptional. Not only stunningly handsome, he is an absolute gentleman, a lover of all people, beautifully put together, athletic, intelligent, the easiest dog to ever train, and will do anything he is asked.

He is a dog that will do anything for me, from the trial field, to dealing with tough ewes with fresh lambs, to being a lead dog in our sled dog team. Bill has proven he can do anything and is proudly stepping into his father Harold's shoes as being the keystone of JLM Border Collies.
