Quinn
The mighty Quinn !
DOB: 24.12.2000
By: Ch Tartanside Capital Gain
From: Ch Tartanside Aliage ROM
Bred at Lochwynde Kennels by Jeanne Welch, Anne Woodcock & John Buddie.
I had dreamed of owning a Tartanside dog for such a long time. I was really excited to have the opportunity to buy this beautifully bred puppy.
I was also incredibly lucky to have “virtually” met Bob & Sheila Wortmann who own Sharob Colllies. They offered to keep Quinn for the six months it took to have his quarantine requirements carried out and then send him on to me.

Bob & Sheila had purchased Quinn’s litter sister Lochwynde Bodacious. These lovely people took Quinn to show training and raised him in their home as one of their own, giving him the best ever start in life.
In September 2001 I received a beautifully trained, super confident young man.
