Paris was the only bitch from Yeoville's inaugural litter, sired by Glentress Epic Reaction and from Yeoville's foundation bitch Aust Ch Rhonabwy Magic Gemma ADM JDM SPDX GD SD ET FM. As a puppy, she was very quick to learn any task, cute as a button, with lovely dark eyes and a cheeky expression, showing much promise in mind and body which over time she has truly fulfilled. She has matured into a lovely girl, being positive and outgoing in her nature, keen to adapt and learn any task. This is demonstrated by her titles in a variety of disciplines, including conformation, agility, jumping, flyball, musical freestyle and endurance so far. Paris is vivacious, focused, economical and definitely knows what she wants in life!

 Paris achieved her Novice Jumping title on 1/7/06 with three first placings to her credit, and her Novice Agility trial on 31/3/07 (with a 2nd and two 1st places). She completed two agility games titles in 2006- Gamblers Dog and Strategic Pairs Dog (3 passes with Dash) obtained on 6/8/06 at the Victorian Canine Association State Agility and Jumping trials. Paris also achieved her first three flyball titles and became a Division 4 National Title holder in one weekend at the National Australian Flyball Championships recently held in Melbourne, March 2006.

Paris had a wonderful achievement at the 1st National Border Collie Specialty on 24/4/06 where she won the Novice Agility event with a clean, very fast round (27.8 seconds on a SCT of 56 seconds). She then went on to be awarded the Top Agility Dog for the event which is a huge achievement for such a young girl in an early agility career. After a significant break in agility (mostly to review some handling gliches!) Paris has only recently returned to the trial ring and completed her Novice Agility title, also qualifying as the Fastest Agility Round by a Border Collie at the Border Collie Club of Victoria's March 2007 trials.

Paris had a rather successful campaign at the 2007 National Agility Trials. In the Excellent Jumping class, she qualified in all three qualifying trials with two second places and one third. She also obtained her Excellent Jumping title in the process. Although the final didn't go our way, Paris enjoyed every second of her round (no guts no glory!), and it was the first time she or I qualified at a National Agility event, which was fabulous experience for us. She also placed sixth in Excellent Strategic Pairs with Gemma and twelfth in Novice Snooker which completed  her Snooker Dog title. The picture to the right shows "Paris intensity" at starting the Excellent Jumping final.

 Paris is also training in freestyle (feature picture on the above personality profile!), which she has shown quite a natural flair for. Whilst this sport is new in Australia, we entered and achieved our first qualifying pass and 3rd place in The Fall Video Competition run through the World Canine Freestyle Organisation (USA). Paris also topped her class for technical merit in her beginners category. We are proud to announce that Paris achieved her second pass in Musical Freestyle Beginners in the WCFO 2007 Spring Video Competition and placed first in her class of 19 international entries!

Paris kicked off her points career in conformation showing with bitch challenge at the Hamilton Ladies Kennel Club Championship show at the tender age of ten months, going on to win Best Puppy in Group 5 on that day. She was awarded reserve challenge at the Yarra Valley Kennel Club (18/12/04) in a full line up. She also achieved bitch challenge and RUBOB at the Greensborough Championship Show (23/4/05), where she showed in her true style- happy, outgoing, full of expression and pleased to get moving! Other awards include bitch challenge and RUBOB to Dash on 6/8/05, and a 25 point Best of Breed award at the County of Cumberland Championship Show in Sydney on 25/4/06. Paris was awarded a further challenge on 30/4/06 at the Heathcote Kennel Club Championship Show, then bitch challenge at the Cranbourne Dog Club Inc show on 18/6/06. She achieved a 15 point challenge at the Sunbury Canine Club on 7/11/06, and finished her title on 12/1/07 at the South Eastern Kennel Club Championship Show with a ten point challenge. Paris will now be focusing on freestyle and agility, and will be shown at special events.

Paris had her first litter on 21/7/07, producing seven beautifully marked, healthy black and white puppies. The sire of the litter was Aust & NZ CH NZ Tazman Trekker O Clan-Abby. She was a fabulous mum and it looks like all seven of her pups (4 males, 3 females), who have now gone off to start their own lives with their new families, will be trialled in some discipline, ranging from obedience, conformation, musical freestyle and agility. Hopefully they will all have a "Paris" attitude to work :) We have kept Prada (Yeoville Th Devil U Know) from the litter.
