Ir. Ch. Kilfinan Farmers Girl (Tess) 1CC 4 RCC's

(Ch. Kilfinan Farmers Boy x Ir. Ch. Kilfinan Country Girl)

Tess is a sweet , cheeky , sensitive girl who takes no messing from her kennel mates. Typically she follows in the footsteps of her maternal line and has a dominant character , particularly with her male relatives. She doesn't suffer fools gladly! Tess delighted us in 2002 when she was awarded the RCC from Puppy at the Bearded Collie Club Ch.Show from Charlotte Sandberg of the world famous Farmarens kennel.
Tess accompanied us on many a happy trip to Ireland with her brother Scottie (Ir. Ch. Kilfinan Country Rover) and gained her title and a few Group placings , the highlight being a Group 1 and BIS 4 , She has recently been very successful in Veteran Stakes and went Best Veteran in Show at Eastern Bearded Collie Ch Show 2011. She resents being called a veteran as she can outrun our youngsters any day in the woods at the back of the house!
