Riley arrived in England a few days before Crufts 2008.Crufts was obviously his first show, and we were delighted when he took 2nd place in a very strong Open Dog class. Since then he has had a fantastic year in the show ring.
At Crufts this being his first show, Riley and Eric, bonded well considering they only met on the morning of the show.
Riley since then has had a brilliant years showing, he now has 20 CC'S to date, and 5 Res.C.C''s and is Top Dog for the Border Collie Club of G.B. He has been placed Group 1 [Windsor] Group 2, Group 3 and Group 4 twice.
He has also had Best In Show, at West of England Border Collie Open Show.
So far in 2009 Riley has gone on to take the CC at the Border Collie Club and Southern Border Collie Club Champ show.
