MEET THE COLLIES...
HARTSON LITTLE WOLF
aka 'Bagel'
Bagel is the youngest girl of the Hartson family. 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 has a wonderful work ethic without being over the top. She trains and competes in agility, where she shows great speed, focus, and power.
She 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 6 in KC Agility.
​
Bagel is 49.5cm and weighs 15kg.
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 5 in KC agility.
​
Rita is 49cm and weighs 14kg.
SMOOTH CRIMINAL KIDDRAGONS ON FIRE AT HARTSON
aka 'Spyder'
Spyder is the newest addition to the family. He joined us in January 2025 and came all the way from Hungary! He is the clumsiest, craziest, cuddliest boy ever. In terms of training, he is doing very well in agility so far and starting to build some speed with his skills. I'm very excited for our journey together.

PENNY FIZZ AT HARTSON
aka 'Bonnie'
Bonnie is a smooth 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, yet loves nothing more than a cuddle on the couch!
She does enjoy the fun of the sporting activities, however, her 'thing' seems to be canicross, and she adores going on a run through the sand dunes or woods.
​
Bonnie is 52cm and weighs 17.5kg.
Crossed rainbow bridge...
OLIVE SKYE AT HARTSON
aka 'Skye'
In January 2025 we lost Skye, the girl who sparked my love for dog sports and breeding. She truly was one of a kind, and we are all heartbroken to be without her.
I have decided to keep her write up on here as she was such a big part of our life, she will always live on in our hearts and I want to share just a few of her special achievements.
Skye was a beautiful tri blue merle smooth coated border collie, she was the most wonderful girl to own and enjoyed any canine sport she could have a go at. Some of her achievements included completing her bronze, silver and gold Kennel Club Good Citizen Awards by the time she was 1yo, she travelled the country performing in dog displays for 2yrs, and also competed at Crufts four times in her lifetime! She also reached grade 6 in kc agility, despite not starting to compete until 4 years old.
Skye excelled in so many activities and was always so willing to please, in our family we would regularly refer to her as the 'human dog' as she understood anything and everything you'd say, do or ask of her.​
