Jesse is retired from showing and breeding and living a life of comfort.
We are thrilled to present our boy, Jesse, by the exceptionally handsome Hottie and out of the truly lovely Ava! Jesse is from a co-bred and born litter at Bellaclan Border Collies in Canada. He went to Wildblue in Colorado as a puppy back from the breeding. While in Colorado, Jesse finished his AKC Championship just after turning 11 months old earning several majors, including a Best of Breed over specials from the 9-12 month puppy class. Our thanks to Deanne Veselka of Wildblue Border Collies for letting Jesse join us at Emerald.
Jesse is a really friendly boy with an endless amount of enthusiasm for life. He loves the freedom to run and explore. Jesse's newly found love for toys gives him the zoomies, sending him - and his chosen toy - on crazy paths covering several acres.

Vella is from our Viz and Tulla. Vella is a very sweet girl that likes to put herself anywhere the action is. Her motor is always running, ready to shift into high gear on a moments notice. And, she tops that off with an endurance factor that can go all day long.
Vella is a nicely built girl with good angles, lovely neck, a nice head that is not overdone, and dark brown eyes.
Vella started off her show career with a bang at only 3 months old, by taking RESERVE BEST IN SHOW puppy on Saturday and also RESERVE BEST IN SHOW puppy on Sunday at the International All Breed Canine Association show. What an honor! To say the least we were tickled pink! Vella will resume her showing again after she matures more.

Who could ask for more than Viva?! She is a lovely, nicely built bitch - very nice angles and substance - with smooth head down - tail down movement and good reach. Viva did well in the conformation show ring, but her show career ended after a broken toe left her with a very slight limp.
This girl certainly lives up to her name, Party Girl. Viva is full of gusto and lives life like there is no tomorrow. It's a fun quality she passes on to her kids. Viva makes sure she is involved in "everything" that is going on. She is very opinionated and has a bossy, drivey, "I'm the fastest - I'm the best at everything" attitude that the other dogs don't question. She is very even tempered and a true joy to have around!

We are so excited that Laura Shaw of Bellaclan Border Collies of Canada has sent this very lovely blue girl to join our Emerald Border Collies family. Tavey's 'call name' (Tah-vee) comes from the legendary Tavernier Blue (pronounced Tah-vurn-YAY), the large blue diamond from which the Hope Diamond was cut.
Tavey is keenly aware of everything that goes on here and makes sure she is not left out of anything! Tavey is Pat's shadow and makes sure he does...every...single...chore. If he misses one, she stands and waits for him to come back and complete it. Tavey is our residential 'piglet', as she would prefer to be wet and dirty, rather than looking gorgeous and smelling of lavender.

Jersey is owned by our daughter, Alison (and family). He is sired by Ty and out of the pretty red and white "Cocoa", both from Wildblue Border Collies.
Jersey is a happy, bright, and energetic dog with beautiful floating movement. He is great with kids and more than willing to spend time out to the farm and chase Viva up and down all of the huge snow piles or playing in the sprinkler.
Jersey earned his AKC Championship in four weekends of showing, with 3 major 5 point wins and a total of 17 points. He also earned his Grand Championship with ease and has 59 points if he decides to pursue his Bronze Grand. Wow, go Jersey!!

Vessa is a cute little girl who is quite the thinker, very focused and puts her "all" into everything she does. She loves playing games, Frisbee and ball in particular, but will go along with anything. Vessa has a sweet personality but unfortunately has quite a snobby side so she isn't real keen about being around strangers and other dogs.

Romeo comes to us from our neighbors to the north, Bellaclan Border Collies in Canada. This handsome guy is the son of Jackson, who boasts some very impressive credentials, and the darling Dime, who is a cute little slate sable bitch.
Romeo has a big, confident, in-charge personality with a very pleasant disposition. His enthusiasm for activities knows no bounds. Romeo loves to play Frisbee and just about any other game. He happy all of the time and is one of those dogs that is so easy to love and fun to be around.
A persistent limp sent us to the vet, only to find out that Romeo has a condition called Osteochondritis Dissecans (OCD), where part of the smooth cartilage of the joint can grow abnormally and develop 'flaps' causing pain. To say we were disappointed is an understatement!! Romeo appears to be doing fine as he has matured, showing minimal signs of pain or discomfort.
