About Rioja - Langamay Sparks of Colour For Bordertrix
Gold Fever of Dynamic Pleasure (sable & white) x Detania Golden Sunset Over Langamay (golden & white)
My little golden girl has been a perfect fit at Bordertrix, despite Flint being
less than impressed that another dog could possibly be cuter than him!
Rioja and Zenii are firm friends already and I will use this page to update her
life story as it unfolds.
​
I am excited for our journey ahead which will see us attempting breed
showing, hoopers and agility. This girl certainly has the spark and speed for
learning, she loves toys and treats so I will be using lots of reward based
training to ensure she remains happy and confident.

At 5 months Rioja had finally
learnt to stand still - for a few seconds anyway. We continued to work hard to ensure she didn't attempt to head butt the judge, and then she qualified for Crufts 2026 at the Midland Border Collie Club in March 2025!
​Crufts is fast approaching so we have entered a couple of open shows to remind her what she is doing.
Everything about this girl is everything I'd ever want in a border collie, she's looks stunning and has the drive and speed to be amazing at dog sports. Watch this space for updates on our progress together.For our most recent news, see our Bordertrix Border Collies page on Facebook. I have added lots of videos of our training so far; including hoopers and agility.
Rioja is amazing to train and picks things up super fast, also she's so affectionate and gives great cuddles - perfect pupp
She is now officially entered into her first breed show in February, I'm a little nervous because she just loves everyone and needs to say hello so keeping her focused will be challenging. Regardless, I know she is a great ambassador for the border collie breed, both in structure and temperament.
