Keryck has had a brilliant start to his show career. He was my first smooth collie, and I couldn't have asked for a better soulmate. There is nothing more he enjoys, than running around the forestry we live next to. He is brilliant with children, and he has become a mascot for the local welsh school. I have to go into assembly and tell the children each Monday what we have acheived at shows over the weekend. At just 3 years old he has acheived the following-

For the year 2003 -
Peterblue Trophy (SCCGB runner up to the most points gained throughout the year), to add to the runner up, best Junior he won in the previous year.
I hope he will continue to do as well as he has done so far. Also a very large thankyou to all the judges who have thought so highly of him. Thanks also to everyone who has supported us, and advice that has been given.
