Niamh (pronounced neev) means ‘radiance’ or ‘brightness’ and what a shining start she’s had to her show career!  She has been consistently in the cards at Championship Shows and finished 2004 with Best Puppy in Show at West of England Border Collie Club Champ Show.  She also achieved a Best Puppy in Show at open show level and gained her Junior Warrant at 15 months.  On 11 September 2005, at Richmond Championship Show, she achieved her first CC and Best Of Breed!  In 2006 she gained 2 Reserve CCs.  At Crufts 2008 she went very well in a class of 21 and won!  She is definitely her mother’s daughter and part of her charm though, is her naughtiness and the fact that you never know quite how she’s going to ‘perform’.
