Mackie is from the second litter sired by my boy Ren, out of the lovely Verity. He approaches the show ring with a reasonable sense of maturity and a dash of hilarity. He thoroughly enjoys the buzz of the environment, the social aspect and tries hard to be the best show dog he can be. Mackie’s main sport is herding. He has huge talent and his approach to herding is like everything else in life, full on! Handling him on course can at times be a bit like driving a Ferrari on slicks in the wet, but his maturity is starting to shine through (finally) and his biddable nature is helping us get some very cool passes. This year Mackie has achieved the highest Herding accomplishment for any Rough or Smooth Collie in ANKC Herding, gaining his **Herding Intermediate A Course Sheep** title. He is also the only Collie to hold this title in Australia. He is already working on his Intermediate A Course Duck title, with two passes gripped in his paws so far, one to go. To add further to his talents, he got his **Herding Novice B Course Duck** title in September. Another first for Collies. Training for Advanced level on both courses/stock types is well underway, but we will likely hold back from attempting that until 2026.
