Arrival Story:
With Jack retired from showing due to his many health problems, I started looking for my next competition dog. I spoke to several Border Collie rescues and met some dogs, but none possessed the intense drive I was looking for, or if they did, had behavior problems that would make them inappropriate to bring as a demo dog for classes. I visited Southeast Border Collie Rescue for 3 hours, looking at dogs... and heard someone mentioning 4 week-old puppies. So I took a look at the parents of the puppies and fell in LOVE with the father, Charlie. Charlie embodied my dream dog, so I agreed to visit his pups. I took out the two available male pups and both were confident and already toy driven. I picked the pup who was a little more independent, firey, and attentive.

Bio:
Scorch is brilliant. He has had an illustrious Obedience and Rally career so far. He is enthusiasm personified and a pleasure to work with.
