Home of Flint aka Bordertrix Feelin' Groovy AWG (handled by Hayley)
Flint won into grade 7 in July 2023
Now competing in championship classes
Covid affected Flint's agility debut but, since July 2022, he has gone from grade 2 to 7 and is now a regular in championship classes across the UK. To keep him in tip-top condition he regularly attends hydro sessions, physiotherapy and a chiropractor.
He has qualified for lots of prestigious events along the way, won lots of league points counting towards finals. His rosette and trophy collection is very impressive.
Flint is offered at stud to approved and health tested girls of good temperament (strictly no merles). Please see our Stud Dog's Page for more information.
The last 6 months have been the worst for Bordertrix :(
On Friday 3rd January 2025 I had to say my last goodbye to Jazz. Only 2 weeks prior she had been diagnosed with a tumour in her bladder. We spent her last week enjoying the beaches in Norfolk, somewhere with lots of happy memories for us and we were determined to make the most of every minute.
I can't believe I have lost my Bazz and Joo duo, they were amazing girls and the house feels so empty without my black and whites.
I'm trying to focus on my plans for a positive future for the Bordertrix line, right now that is very difficult.
Bordertrix Carousel 14/09/2012 - 03/01/2025 Also know as; Jazz-a-bean, Bean, Jazzy-razzle and Jazz-a-mine
Less than six months apart we are also sad to announce the passing of Bordertrix Sensational AWS 14/02/2014 - 26/06/2024
Always the worst kind of news to share, the loss of our Boo on Wednesday 26th June 2024. She was such a powerful dog for most of her life and never showed any outward signs of how ill she was, even in the last few days. Just 2 weeks before she was given sleep she won a hoopers class in style and I shall cherish that rosette.
The heat wave the following week saw her struggle despite my best efforts to keep her cool and calm.
Everyone at home is still trying to find their place, Boo was in charge and there's no one to take over leadership.
We miss her so much, known as; Boopers, Booster, Boopey, Schmoops, Nutter and many more..........
Zenii has been busy competing at agility shows and hoopers!
Zenii has gained places in every hoopers show we've attended in the last year and I will strive to rely on her independence a little more this year.
We attended our first agility show at Ogilvie in January 2025 and managed a clear round, 5f and a silly elimination (pink walls are obviously not her thing - doh!)
More than anything she was doing her happy yip all the way round which is a big win for us. Fingers crossed we will continue to weave, get all our contacts and enjoy it too.
I am planning a second and final litter from Zenii at the end of 2025, see our Planned Litters Page for more information.

Introducing our new kid on the block - Rioja aka Lanaamay Sparks of Colour For Bordertrix
Rioja arrived so quickly, another 'meant to be' story. i still pinch myself that she's mine, our perfect little madam, she is very confident and an absolute credit to her breeder, Sharron.
After losing Boo so suddenly, my coping strategy is to have a plan forming for the future. Boo will never be replaced, I know from past experience that I dwell too much on what I could, should or didn't do to keep her with me longer. In Boo's case there was definitely nothing that would have saved her and I had already started grieving for her from the moment I knew how ill she was. Life was all about making every moment count - and we did that with oodles of fun!
Rioja is an absolute delight, already forming a great bond with
Zenii, they are inseparable now.
My aim is to take my time in cementing Rioja's foundations in hoopers and agility, she is already proving to be a great partner, being keen and fast to learn.
We are attending workshops with top handlers to keep me up-to-date with the best techniques and get her used to different environments. We will also attempt a bit of breed showing along the way, her conformation and movement are textbook, its just her enthusiasm that might need a little work - lol!
She has a temperament to die for, is fully DNA tested clear of all current conditions and will be hip scored after 12 months. All being well, I plan to breed her to our Flint 2026/2027.
