Bess' Pedigree

Bess is by Ken Arrenadale's Mac out of David Henry's Beryl.  She is very stylish, a tremendous natural outrunner with pace, power and superb stock sense.  She was the 2005 Virginia Border Collie Association's (VBCA) Open Ranch Champion and is now very succesful in Open.  Bess has lines back to Longton's Tweed, ##Longton's Bess, #Bwlch Taff, Tom Wilson's Imp. Roy and McPherson's Tweed. 

Hips: Cornell rated excellent. Eyes clear and CEA DNA tested Normal.    

Pups from the first cross with Tweed are keen and working well (see Gabe on Upcoming Stars page, Charlie Hurt's Lou and Victoria Wilcox's Russell).
