These pups love cricket
Feilding in yard cricket is one of Gemma and Murray's favourite activities. They are pictured here with owner Peter Male from Bowral. Gemma, an adult Border Collie originally from a farm in Bundanoon, and our new addition, Murray the puppy, pic taken aged 15 weeks from breeder Ancrum Kennels, Bowral. I love my dogs and they love life and being part of our family. I am sure they both think they are just like us. Living in Bowral gives us the opportunity to live a life shared with many animals, which brings my family and I so much joy. When not playing together in our yard, they are rounding up our two cats, fielding for games of yard cricket or running with my kids while out playing or riding their bikes on the land near our home in Bowral.

When I was congratulating Peter, he also told me that Murray (Ancrum Bend In The Road) is Top of the Class at Puppy School and the whole family just love him so much. 'You show em Murray'.

Thank you Peter and family for being a wonderful and loving home for your Border Collies !!!

Ancrum Its In The Jeans - 'Levi'
an amazing 4th place
Border Collie Nationals - Canberra 6th, 7th and 8th March 2009
Judges Critique:    4th - Ancrum Its In The Jeans - R Wilson

This 3 month old B/W has considerable strength in head, Ok front and rear angles. Moved soundly just lacked the head pattern of those above at this stage in his development, hope he does not become to coarse as he matures.

Morgan got his Herding Instinct Certificate - and loved it !!
