Description
Tui is a 4-year old border collie, home bred by Amanda. Tui was the 2022 Reserve National Nursery Champion. While her mother, Dar (also running here), is a bit bossy, Tui “goes with the flow.”
Amanda was first introduced to border collies four decades ago when her sister, who had worked with border collies and sheep in England, brought a dog to help them with their sheep. As a 35+ year veteran of the sport, Amanda is one of the most respected competitors in the world and as an articulate voice for our sport. As always, she is a real threat to return to Soldier Hollow medal stand on Monday. She is a seven-time Canadian Champion, a two-time Soldier Hollow Gold Medalist and and Bronze Medalist, a four-time Meeker winner, a USBCHA National Champion, and USBCHA National Nursery Champion and Reserve Champion. She is hosting the prestigious Kingston Sheepdog Trial for the 27th time in 2025. Amanda was one of the primary founders of the Canadian Border Collie Association and served as President for many years. She has also served on the Boards of ABCA and USBCHA to the benefit of both organizations. She is the CEO of a Cardiac testing company, Home Cardiographics Inc. In her spare time, she is a gardener, both flowers and vegetables with heirloom tomatoes, a large peony collection and dahlias later in the season.
