Ch. Tamaron’s Arranbrae Tradition (Trad) is a blue litter brother to Anya. Trad was sold to Australia to breeder/judges Don and Sue Henley of Arranbrae Collies the day he was born! In order to not disappoint his new owners, Trad finished his Canadian Championship at the age of 7 months by taking the breed over the top collie in Canada. The day before he also took the breed then went on to take a Group 3rd in a very competitive Herding group under judge Joyce Hodgeson of New Zealand. What a way to finish!!
Trad is a very solid, beautifully marked blue merle. He has a full white color with white extending higher up his left leg than his right. He also has one blue eye and one dark brown. Trad has a perfect scissors bite, a full round muzzle and a wonderful underjaw. He has beautifully smooth sideskulls with no flaring at all and no depth. Trad is very well angulated both front and rear giving him incredible reach and drive. He has a long neck, arching slightly at the nape that he uses to his full potential! Trad moves around the ring the same as he does out in the field, proving he could go out and work all day with the sheep herders like his ancestors did. He loves to show off and have everybody notice him!
Trad is now happily residing with his owners, Sue and Don Henley of Arranbrae Collies in Australia and has now won his Australian championship! We are so pleased. He finished with another CC and BB over 40+ collies and was runner up in a group of 190! What a way to finish!
Judge James Reynolds has this to say: “If it matters to you ma’am, this dog is the only one here with what I consider to be a correct head”. He won his class of 8 the first day out and his class of 5 the second, his very first time in the ring in Australia. In his third show in a field of competition which includes the State’s current top winning Collies, Trad rose above the male classes and recorded a win known as Best Dog Open Show , under Borzoi/Collie specialist, Mr. Andrew Beattie. Trad went on to win Runner Up Best of Breed at the show, as well as Best Intermediate in Show.
