A little bit about Kyntaf
My love for border collies began in 1986 when I managed to talk my parents into allowing me to have a border collie. And so “Tegan” Shezilson Coleraine UD came into my life. Although we had had other family dogs Tegan was the first dog I trained and despite me Tegan gained her CD, CDX and UD obedience titles. She was a strong minded young dog but loved to work and would do anything for me. To this day I still have obedience judges come up to me and comment on the little dark faced girl I had because they just loved her personality.
Five years later when I moved into my own home “Calan” Ch Khayoz Soul Searcher CDX ET came along. He was the dog to keep Tegan and I company, do obedience and maybe a bit of showing. Well what a surprise packet he was as he gained his Aust Champion Show title, CDX in obedience and his ET (Endurance title). He was a multi age in group/show winner and won four classes at Melbourne Royal as well as Puppy in Group. He had a great love for life and everything in it and was a very special dog who to this day is remembered by many in the dog world for his wonderful temperament and zest for life. Because of Tegan and Calan I became totally involved with border collies and all aspects of the dog world.
I have been lucky as although I only show occassionally I also had a lot of success with Ch Kyntaf BlessingNDisguise a multi in group winner who has passed on his quality to his children and has produced a Supreme Champion as well as about 10 champion titled progeny from a small number of litters. Through his progeny he is represented in the conformation ring/agility/obedience world. His daughter Ch Kyntaf ImaLittle Star went on to produce Ch Kyntaf Walk The Line and I am so proud to have 3 generations of Kyntaf champions.
