This is HOLLY - a Border Collie - she came from a working farm -
Unknowingly - the year before she was born - we watched her
parents bringing in a large flock of sheep while the shepherd
leant on a fence just letting them get on with it.
She was the smallest of the litter - all of her siblings went to
Norway as working sheep dogs.
We collected her on Christmas Eve - hence her name.
She was so obedient from a puppy - mainly self taught.

The glorious “EMMA” who helped a disabled girl learn to talk.
Emma was a very well bred and gentle Lassie collie - to call her a “rough collie”
would have offended!
