Starside Border Collies and Chinese Crested Dogs

Some of the gang

Hi my name is Pat and I share my home with my husband Peter and our son Andrew , 11 border collies and 3 chinese cresteds. Our daughter Stephanie has already fled the nest and lives with our son-in-law Dave and grandaughters Mariah and Piper. My eldest son James has also left home to live with his wife Sarah and their baby Jacob.

I have always had dogs ( for as long as I can remember anyway). I first really noticed Border Collies when my sons started playing rugby and a lady used to work her 4 borders on the playing fields. It looked easy!.So when it came time for another dog my first choice was a border collie and I've never looked back since.

I met Jean Entwistle of Beesting Border Collies at obedience and she introduced me to the world of dog showing.I ordered a blue and white bitch puppy (Beesting Jezabell from Starside) and then started the constant round of ring-craft and puppy training......I'm still learning and always will be!

I have border collies in most of the main colours including ee-red and merles .My passion for coloured border collies is as keen as for correct conformation , temperment and health.There is no point in having the most wonderful blue dog or bitch that is a poor example of the breed

I sometimes have puppies available to approved homes

Chinese Crested's

Well what can I say about these bundles of fun ....
I first spotted a chinese crested dog at the LKA one year and asked just what it was!!.Little did I know that I would be completely and utterly enamoured by this breed .I was ( and still am) fascinated by them .

I got my first Crestie in 2005.Bred by Dita Kilsby .CoCo ( Tamarsh Love Story )has started this passion for these little dogs..On 26/07/2007 CoCo safely delivered my first litter of Chinese Crested puppies.
I then found Bliss ( Hitmonchan Meliisa From Starside) and her grandaughter(Neffa( Kenmileven Draco at Starside )

I rarely show the Cresties .On the odd occasions I have they Have done well.Neffa won the junior class at her first show and took best puppy in breed as well
