Ceilidh Collies

Facebook post from 4/14/25: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16SmvYHPWe/

We’ve finally had a little time to breathe after our whirlwind of traveling! I’ll make a bigger post soon about the 2025 CCA Nationals, but for now, we just have to share how excited and proud we are of our boy—Cullain, GCH Ceilidh’s Celtic Legend!

We entered Cullain at the very last minute—literally on the day entries closed—with no idea how ready he really was. We were at another show at the time and hadn’t even been thinking about bringing him. Once we got home, we gave him a good grooming, evaluated his condition, and decided he was more than ready to make an appearance at Nationals after three years of just hanging out.

And wow, are we floored by this dog. We pulled him out of the backyard, and he came home with an Award of Merit and was one of the final three dogs under consideration. Not bad for a last-minute decision!

We absolutely adore this dog. He gave his all in the ring, and it’s clear he loves being a show dog—he thinks the world of his handler. Thank you, Taylor, for believing in him and convincing us to go for it!

No official photo yet, but we do have some lovely (non-official) ringsides to share.
