As it is the first day of 2012, it is only suitable to sum up the last events at Kensington Gate of 2011 and also to take a look at what lies ahead.
In September, Mackenzie and I attended a weekend course in tracking. She comes from a family of competing tracking dogs and this was quite evident as she showed a lot of talent and enthusiasm. I hope to continue to further her skills (or more importantly - mine!) in the near future.
In November, we had the great pleasure of entering the MyDog 2011 show - the biggest annual show held in Norway. A great number of Collies were entered and Mackenzie placed 3rd in open bitch. Judge was Michael Camac from Australia. Her litter sister N Ch KORAD Seamist Ice Blue went BOB. Kennel Seamist entered a breeder’s group (pictured) and won. Photo courtesy of Lill Ydse.

In December, we entered a show under judge Suncica Lazic. Mackenzie was awarded her first CAC/CC and went 2nd best bitch. Her sister was BOB even at this show. Mackenzie’s critique:
Prop. female, beautiful head, beautiful expr, exc ear position, good neck, exc topline and tail position. Good substance, good underline, good bone, par. position of legs, correct ang, good temp, free movement, coat good color and quality.
As for looking up and ahead, first of all, Kensington Gate Collies will be relocating in 2012 if things go according to plan. We have found a beautiful old farm by the ocean with ample space.
Mackenzie will likely be bred when she comes into season and we may be able to offer puppies this summer. Sire to be announced.
In other news, the Norwegian Collie Club election will be held in April and I am running for president. More about this in the near future.
