MEET THE GIRLS...
OLIVE SKYE AT HARTSON
aka 'Skye'
Skye is a beautiful tri blue merle short coated border collie, she is a wonderful girl to own and enjoys any canine sport she can have a go at. Some things she has achieved so far are...completing her bronze, silver and gold Kennel Club Good Citizen Awards, she has travelled performing in dog displays for 2 years, and also competed at Crufts 2019, 2020, 2022, achieving a first place in an obedience class, just to name a few.
Skye has excelled in so many activities and surprises me with her intelligence every day, in our family we regularly refer to her as the 'human dog' as she seems to understand anything and everything you say, do or ask of her.​
Skye competes at grade 6 in KC agility.
​
Skye is 48cm and weighs 16kg.
SENORITA MISCHIEF AT HARTSON TDCH
aka 'Rita'
Rita has proven herself to be the most driven, enthusiastic and fun dog to work with.
Although she adores her obedience and trick training, Rita especially loves her agility. Unfortunately she was delayed on starting in competition during the summer of 2020 due to the pandemic, however, we could only take the positives from this and use it to thrive in her home training. She loves her work and will do everything at full speed.
Rita is highly intelligent and completed all of her Trick Dog Titles from Novice through to Champion in the space of a couple of months.
Rita competes at grade 4 (1 win off g5) in KC agility.
​
Rita is 49cm and weighs 14kg.
HARTSON LITTLE WOLF
aka 'Bagel'
The most recent addition to the Hartson family is Bagel. Being Rita's daughter she too has drive, intelligence and the extreme willingness to please. Besides agility, she loves to spend time on the stable yard with Sarah.
Bagel is my first dog to teach a running dog walk with, and it has been such a fun process! I love the way her brain works and her attitude to learning. We didn't start competing in agility runs until August 2023 but since then she is so very nearly grade 4 already. Bagel is a pleasure to live with, she loves nothing more than a cuddle on the couch, although personal space isn't exactly a thing in her book so she will quite often sit on you instead of next to you!
She competes at grade 3 in KC Agility.
​
Bagel is 49cm and weighs 17kg.
PENNY FIZZ AT HARTSON
aka 'Bonnie'
Bonnie is a short coated red merle border collie, she is enthusiastic and eager to learn, but is as happy to be training as she is chill out at home. She is a powerful dog with a big stride, and would love nothing more than a cuddle on the couch with someone, she is definitely the cuddliest, softest dog we have ever owned.
She does enjoy the fun of the activities, however, her 'thing' seems to be canicross, and what she adores most is to be going on a run with someone through the sand dunes or woods.
​
Bonnie is 52cm and weighs 18kg.
