Gunner was our first great smooth. Sent up to visit by his owner, Ramana Boulter of Crossheart Collies, California, he set records in Canada by taking two all breed Best In Shows and became the #7 Herding Dog, #1 smooth for 1986. He is the first smooth to ever place in the top ten Herding Dogs. Gunner was also #3 smooth in the US in 1985. He spent his time between both houses, and will always hold a special place in our hearts.

(Am Can Ch Gambit's Restless State ex Am Can Ch Tallywood Th'Spirit Sings)
Aura amazed us throughout her life. As a puppy she was #1 bitch in Canada, shown only a few times to win groups, specialties and Best Puppy in Shows. Her first US major was won the day before the CCA National from the 6-9 class over a huge entry, and she never looked back. She ended her puppy career by going Best in Sweeps, Best Opposite and Best Puppy at the Canadian National, and in 1996 came back as an adult to win Best In Specialty.

More importantly she gave us two amazing daughters to carry on with - Am.Can.Ch.Tallywood Rainforest Radiant ROMX and Am.Can.Ch.Tallywood Transcendence.

He lived with Wendy Reekie of Fonehill Collies, and sired many beautiful puppies for her, too. Cayman sadly passed away due to liver cancer at a young age. His legacy carries on at Tallywood, Fonehill and Windcrest.
