A (delayed) summary from Ceilidh at the OKC Summer Classic.
This was our first time attending this huge show, and we had a great time! We loved getting to meet new people and spend time with friends—sharing meals, laughter, and good conversation throughout the weekend.
Cailín – Ceilidh’s Heathered Horizon
Pumpkin – mjr ptd Ceilidh’s Bless the Reign, co-owned with Collies of Wych
(CH Ceilidh’s Dawn’s Early Light × CH Ceilidh’s Long Live the Queen)
Cailín and Pumpkin held their own in a show that was much larger and busier than we expected! After a rest day on Saturday, both girls hit their stride and showed like little pros by Sunday. Cailín earned a Bred-By Exhibitor ribbon, and Pumpkin added two more major reserves to her show record. We’re so proud of these young girls and excited to see how they continue to mature.
Trifle – CH Ceilidh’s Sweet Surprize
(GCH Ceilidh’s Legends of the Fall ROM × CH Kirkhaven N’ Ceilidh’s Irish Creme)
Trifle returned to the ring as a special for the first time in five years—and you’d never know she’d been away! Still just as exuberant and charming as ever, she made the most of every moment in the ring: taking in the sights, soaking up attention, and sneaking in her trademark bit of mischief. Trifle was awarded Select under judge Kim LeBlanc.
Nyssa – CH Ceilidh’s New Beginnings TKN CGCA CGCU
(GCH Ceilidh’s Legends of the Fall ROM × GCHB Ceilidh’s No Bounds ROM)
The highlight of our weekend was seeing Nyssa fly in all the way from Washington with ArabellaCollies to join us! She took Winners Bitch two of the shows, earning her (AKC pending) Championship title, and moved up on the final day to show like she belonged in the specials ring. Just for fun, she also picked up three more titles—CGC, CGCA, and CGCU—in her downtime! We were thrilled to see Nyssa in person for the first time since she was a baby puppy and even more excited to celebrate her new title with her. She’s developing beautifully, and we’re so thankful she’s with Remy—there couldn’t be a better home for this wild child.
Jessie – GCHG Moonwind Finding Neverland
(CanCH GCH Tallywood NeverLand × CH Aryggeth’s Iris ROM)
We also had the honor of sharing a ring with Jessie, who looked wonderful in the groups. Even in the midst of shedding season, he was in beautiful condition and represented the breed very well. We’re proud to co-own Jessie with Lisé, Anna, Karen O’Brien, Samantha Niemeck, and he is beautifully presented and conditioned by Cassidy Crockett. It’s always a treat to watch him shine and cheer him on from ringside. 
What a weekend! We’re so proud of all our dogs and deeply thankful to our friends and extended collie family for the support, fun, and camaraderie.
