Remee

This is UKC CH U-GRACH HTCH TC Oelamp's Remembrance HSAds HIAs HXAs HXBs MXF HRD-IIIs HTAD-IIIs HTD-IIIs RLF-IIIs, also known as Remee, shown here at 8 months old earning Winner's Bitch for her first two AKC Championship points. A month earlier, she won Best Female and Best of Breed at the 2001 UKC Premier show. During that weekend, she earned 95 of the 100 points she needed for her UKC Conformation Championship. At 16 months old, she won Best Of Opposite Sex at the Louisville Kennel Club, which was a Border Collie Supported Entry.

I hadn't planned to keep two puppies from this litter, but from the time she was four weeks old, every time I walked into the puppy room, Remee let out a bark and came to the edge of the box to greet me. So, she stayed.

Remee moved from the conformation ring to agility and herding and we had a great time training and showing together. We took things pretty slowly, but it paid off. She became more and more consistent in agility and her confidence grew in herding. We completed her UKC GRACH in 2007 and her AKC MACH on January 2, 2010. I also spent the last couple of years improving her driving skills in herding so we could be successful at the advanced herding level. Remee earned her HXAs title in April 2006 and finished both her AKC and AHBA Herding Championships in June 2008, making her my second AKC Dual Champion. In the spring of 2007, we began competing on the Advanced AKC B course and she won this class at the Border Collie Society of America National Specialty in 2007. She finished her Advanced B title in October, 2008.
