We brought a few young girls and our special dog to show off to the fancy, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with how they represented our program! Here’s a quick summary of the dogs we took—and our kennel’s successes!

🧊Caffeine” Ceilidh’s Iced Coffee
– co-owned with Tez Bryars
🥉 3rd in Rough 9–12 Sable & White

Caffeine did everything right! She tried her hardest and truly sparkled in the ring—Taylor brought out the very best in her.

🧹Bibi” Ceilidh’s Wych Hunt
– co-bred and owned with Collies of Wych
Rough 9–12 Sable & White

This small but mighty girl had the time of her life! A natural show-off, she revels in the attention—and it might be the only time she’s not living up to her nickname, “bad girl Bibi.” She improves every time she steps in the ring and already has a devoted fan club.

🙄Satire” Ceilidh’s Tell Me About It
Rough American Bred

Satire truly made the most of herself in the ring! Cathy groomed her to perfection, and Taylor presented her beautifully—she just floated across the ring.

🪻Cailín” Ceilidh’s Heathered Horizom
Smooth 9–12

We were so proud of this girl! She handled the bustle of a crowded national ring with class, and received lovely compliments from ringside.

🗡️Cullain” GCH Ceilidh’s Celtic Legend
🏅 Award of Merit

Cullain already had his own post (we’re still over the moon), but we can’t help gushing a little more. He showed up and gave it his all—always smiling, never letting down, and carrying that trademark twinkle in his eye.

🎸 “Jessie” GCHG Moonwind Finding Neverland

We have the privilege of co-owning this rockstar, and he killed it as usual—making it all the way to the final cut! He looked fabulous and showed like a dream. His owners are also the craziest, most amazing people—we’re so lucky to be part of his team!


Beyond the dogs we brought ourselves, we were also thrilled to see success in dogs we bred! From the breeding of CH Val Hi’s Ace of Spades × CH Aryggeth I’m a Little Old Fashioned@Ceilidhs —co-bred with Aryggeth Collies:

🧸 “Teddy” (AKC pending) CH New River’s Aryggeth Let Freedom Ring
🥇 Winner’s Dog – Rough 12–18 Class
Owned by Elizabeth Lily of New River Collies

🏹 “Archie” Aryggeth’s Salty Dog
🥈 Reserve Winner’s Dog – Rough American Bred Class
Owned by Marilyn Power of Val Hi Collies

🚨 “Siren” Camloch Temptress
🥇 1st – Rough 12–18 Class
Owned by Krista and David Hansen of Camloch Collies

We had an incredible time—even though we were only there for a day and a half of the show! It was such a joy catching up with everyone we had the chance to visit. We’re already looking forward to the next national we’re able to attend!
