Landon was a special puppy right from the start. He was so outgoing,energetic and so FULL of himself!!! His little tree trunk legs carried him fast, no matter where he was going. Just like his beautiful sire, Landon has a break in his collar on the show side which I find so striking. He has an absolutely correct front with his head set ahead of his front legs, just like it should be. His shoulder layback is incredible with is consistent with his long, reaching stride. Landon has a gorgeous length of neck which is correctly arched and he really knows how to use it!! Landon has a very full, rounded muzzle which blends in very smoothly into his side skulls,full, correct dentition, scissors bite and extremely smooth zygomatic arches. His stop is just where it should be and his head is long and lean, showing no depth at all. Face on, he has an expression that is hard to find in a tri. It is very soft, inquisitive and pleasing. He truly fills my eye and my heart!He has a full white front as well which really shows off his front. He has a topline to die for which even at the age of 6 months was dead level. Landon has a wonderfully correctly angled rear which allows for the strong drive a collie needs and was bred for. He has a very long tail which he carries level from his back and which is ALWAYS wagging!!! He has a huge side gait, a beautiful front coming at you and a strong rear going away from you. I am so excited about this puppy- he will bring great things to Tamaron and we can’t wait!!
Landon started his show career with a bang when, at 6 1/2 months he travelled with Buddy, Carol and I 11.5 hours each way to Cloverdale to the Collie Club of BC Specialty and 2 all-breed shows. The first day, under Mr L. Silva, a judge from Brazil, Landon was WD, BW and BP. The next day under Mr. W. Chan, a judge from Malaysia, he was RWD and BP. Later that day, Landon was entered in the Puppy Sweeps being judged by Marie Markovich of Marko Collies in Washington. Even though he was up against collies up to 18 months of age, and some of them Champions, Landon was chosen by Marie as her Best Puppy in Sweeps! Right after completion of the sweeps, the Collie Club of BC Specialty started, judged by the legendary Sue Symington of Carnwath Collies. As the day went on, in the end, Sue chose Buddy as her Best of Breed dog and Landon as her Best Puppy in Breed! We then had to compete agaisnt the smooth best Puppy in Breed winner and it was Landon who Sue chose as her Best Puppy in Specialty!!!!! She also chose Buddy as her Best in Specialty winner. What a great end to a great day!! Look for Landon at the ASSCA Specialty in Feb 2005 and also in Oklahoma City at the CCA in March!
Landon was retired from the show/breeding aspects of Tamaron Collies in 2009 and is living with Jerry and Della Dumalski of Saskatchewan, Canada. Landon is a very lucky dog to be with Jerry and Della!
