I want to introduce my 2 babies. Shadow is a tri coloured working sheepdog Border Collie X. I had him from a puppy and he is now 9. Sadly he has PRA and is almost blind and likely to become totally blind. He also has mild hip dysplasia and Cauda Equina (fusing vertebra). He is my little man and has seen my through some tough times in my life. Poppy is 21 months old black and white KC reg Border Collie. She is the softest thing ever and likes to spend time on your lap, cuddled up next to you or on your feet!! I show her and am trying to qualify for Crufts 2012 although my lack of experience is not helping us. She is also training for agility which she really enjoys and is good at. Our trainer thinks she will be really good once she is competing so I am looking forward to being ready although I don't want to rush her! Both dogs come out riding with me. Shadow has adapted really well with his lack of sight and most people would not realise how blind he is. I also show him in veteran classes at fun/ companion shows and he normally does quite well!!

Shadow about 5 years ago after winning best dog in show at a fun show at a horse show:
