Welcome to our website!

We live in the village of Fulbourn, situated on the Cambs, Essex, Suffolk border. We are a daughter/mother team, (I am Karen and Mum is Teresa) I do the shows -- while she is more in the background but very much of support.

2007 was a special year as it marked my having been involved with collies for 30 years. It all started when I was 5 years old and Mum and Dad brought home our first Working Sheepdog pup, a golden and white bitch, from a local sheep farmer.

In due course other WSDs arrived. I consider myself to have been very fortunate to have them around me for pretty much all my life. I now cannot imagine ever living without them.

Mum's Great Grandfather once farmed near Haydon Bridge, close to Hadrian's wall- Real Border country. My Grandmother (Mum's mum) was from the Republic of Ireland, from a small village called Carlingford, situated on the edge of beautiful Carlingford Loch, in County Louth and surrounded by the Mountains of Mourn. Our Uncle Billy worked collies on small flocks of sheep and cattle as did his son.

In the late 90's I decided to move away from Working Sheepdogs and began looking for my first Kennel Club registered BC. In 1999 Leo arrived. The affix KAELEON was registered with the Kennel Club in 2003 and is an anagram made from a few letters from both my christian name and my middle name 'Louise' -- it also seemed uncanny, but so very appropriate, that each time the letters were rearranged it contained Leo's name. So KAELEON was applied for and agreed by the KC as my first (and only) choice -- meant to be perhaps. Mum and I plan to apply for her to share the affix with me in the near future.

My other love is horses and I have a special place in my heart for now my long-gone Welsh B x C ride-drive mare whom I shared many happy teenage years with until she passed away when I was 18. I no longer keep horses but still get to ride occasionally.

We are members of the Midlands Border Collie Club. I am also a member of the Ely and District Dog Training Club and Redgates Agility Club. A special thank you to Alan and Janet Humphrey's of Ely and District for all their help and support and for introducing me to the world of competitive agility over 10 years ago back in 1998 -- and a big thank you to all that have been of support to us over the years - you know who you are.

We hope you enjoy you visit
