Too Hot To Handle ("Ash")
Ash is one of Lorraine's red tri Border
Collie's born in October 1999, Ash started competing at Shrewsbury in May 2001, and qualified as a Senior in July 2001 and
Advanced in August 2003. She has competed in the CSJ final, Pedigree Pairs and Crufts 2002 in mini/maxi pairs with Rod's Gizzy. She won the 2004 Easter Celebration Gamblers Final.
Ash loves agility and thinks that all the other collies are
hers to look after. You will see her most evenings at training chomping on a
squeaky ball! Ash is a very consistent dog she is often used to help Lorraine
demonstrate difficult manoeuvres to the handlers in training.

Agility at Scunthorpe in 2006. She is a lean, mean, Speed Machine!
