Skye, the Rough Collie goes herding!

Skye is a lovely Rough Collie that has been coming out for the last couple of months. She is quite talented and loves to herd. She goes both directions, balances and rates her stock. She is quite keen and looks forward to her herding sessions. I asked Mike to send me a brief bio so I could post it.

###################################################################
Skye is a purebred Rough Collie, registered with the AKC and owned by Mike Vorkapich. She is one inch under the breed standard so does not compete in Conformation events. Instead, she competes in Agility, Obedience and now Herding.





Skye has earned her Novice Standard and Novice Jumpers titles in AKC agility. She also competes in NADAC Agility.

Skye's parents are Rainybank's Aurora Borealis AX, AXJ, RE and Ch. McMaur's the Eliminator. Rainybank Collies are proven performance dogs and have earned many titles in Agility. Skye is the only one that has ever done herding and she seems to really like it. It appears to come naturally to her.
