Double J's Bright Gem, "Gemma"

I had high hopes for Daisy, rescued Standard Poodle.  We were going to do agility together.  Daisy had other ideas.  So, what was one to do?  Get a Border Collie!

Not any Border Collie would do.  I didn't want a high-strung, neurotic dog.  Even more important, this dog had to be able to be gentle with my 5 lb. Toy Poodles.  She had to be very affectionate and people-oriented.  And, of course, be a good agility candidate.  Gemma is all of that and more.  I can't even begin to describe what a phenomenal dog she is.  Her only limitation is ME, but we are on a journey together, learning about training, about agility, and just enjoying ourselves and the time we spend together.

There was no doubt she was the one for me.
