A LITTLE HISTORY

        I was introduced into the wonderful world of showing through Jr Showmanship at the age of 12.  My first collie "Dixie" was such a good sport about the whole thing!  The door to conformation opened when I received my first smooth, Maverick, at 10 wks.  With the patience and support of my mother and grandmother, Maverick, Abbeyhill Roselyn Th' Gambler, became a champion in March 1999.  He finished owner/handled when I was 15.

My mother and I then  bred Maverick to CH Bo-Dandy's Kisses of Aryggeth.  We kept a nice sable smooth  named  Kane, Roselyn's Raisin' The Stakes.   Our next addition was BitO'Heaven Icon Of Roselyn, Raven, who quickly finished in Nov 2000. Kane finished thereafter in July 2002 as our first bred-by champion!

Kane was then bred to Raven and produced mjr pointed Roselyn's Cruel Intentions and our 2nd bred by Ch Roselyn's Mirror Image(who finished on my 19th birthday!).  They are now enjoying a well deserved retirement.  Maverick is with my grandmother. 
Raven and her puppies are with my mom (Roselyn Collies) and
Kane is here with us at Avondale.

After graduating high school in May of 2002, I had the opportunity to travel with professional handler Crystal Stoner.  Being able to travel with Crystal and see dogs up close I had only read about was such a wonderful and eye opening experience.  In addition to introducing me to so many new opportunities she also introduced me to my wonderful husband, Allen.
