MAMA BEETZ - Born February 13th 2018 - She was the first Sexy Beast Border Collie to touch the earth, and captured our hearts.
We see her great grandma Meg, grandma Thistle, and mother Rhumb in her. So deeply sweet, intense with her work, and keen about everything in life.

He is sweet, loving, and intense in his work. He inherited his incredible physical prowess from Rhumb, and is versatile in his skills - from intricate heeling patterns to disc freestyle to herding. He is amazing.

FRANNY, my teacher, my muse. 2000 - 2013
Franny never competed in any sport, but she trained for them all. She never had the desire to compete, she loved being with our family or in the mountains, it was that simple. Her heart was in the mountains, hiking, trail running, and rolling around in high elevation meadows.
