Description
Eddie is a dog that “takes his work seriously.” A good outrunning dog with a lot of balance, he’s a good listener who wants to be a team player. Last year, he won the Double Lift Final at the Frio Sheepdog Classic, beating his dad, Finn—who Faansie is also running here at Soldier Hollow.
Faansie is originally from South Africa, where he was one of South Africa’s dominant handlers. He is now one of North America’s leading handlers—a handler greatly respected throughout the world. Faansie and his family came to the United States in December 2014 and are now living in Kentucky. Faansie travels all over the U.S. giving lessons and clinics and competing with his fine dogs. Faansie was the 2022 Meeker Champion and Reserve Champion with his dogs Jack and Finn, both running here at Soldier Hollow. In addition to raising, training, and selling border collies, the Bassons also raise and sell border terriers.
