Trad at home

Trad was Runner Up Best of Breed to my Ch LochWind Arts Degree at the Perth Royal Show 2002, when owned by Sue Henley. This was under collie specialist Mr Horatio Pizzorno.

Trad was rarely seen after gaining his Australian Championship. Used only  once or twice in Australia.  Bred to the tri bitch, Vedamea Black Saphire, Trad produced  Ch Arranbrae USA Connection.

I purchased Trad in winter 2005. It took some months to get him ready to be seen in public again.

I entered him in only four shows.

12th Feb 2006  Best In Group. B&DDC

25th Feb 2006 Challenge Dog. HK&TC

6th Mar 2006 BOB.  The Western Classic.

14th Jul 2006 CC & RUBOB. The Winter Festival

The beautiful Trad proved all he needed to in those four shows. He was retired.

On the 3rd June 2006, Mia whelped the “Ex” litter which was  comprised of seven puppies. These pups were DNA clear eyed.
Ch LochWind Exclusive  who easily attained the 100 points for his title by 8 months of age, was ranked number one Collie Puppy in Australia, by Dogzonline Pointscore 29.4.2007 shown by Jane Armatys, International judge and breed specialist, of Keamaree Collies.

The Ex litter contained some spectacular puppies that were never shown. I had made the decision to stop showing at that time. So all bar two were sterilised and pet homed.

In April 2006 Trad went to live with collie Dallas, now owned by my friend Suzanne Darke in Chidlow.

Finally, Trad lived out his life in luxury with Suzanne and friend Dallas, as his beautiful spirit so richly deserved.

RIP Traddy Trousers, my beautiful boy. Thanks for the memories. 1998 to 2009.

Trad enjoying retirement.
