Nahrof Story

NAHROF STORY

Since its establishment in 1989, our kennel has endeavoured to produce Border Collies which excel in type, soundness and temperament while still maintaining the breed’s natural tractability and desire to work – whether that “work” involves the show, herding or performance arenas.

Nahrof Border Collies are being actively and successfully campaigned in show and obedience rings both in Australia and internationally and a growing number have also proved that, although separated from their ‘working’ ancestors by many generations, they have not lost their natural ability to herd.

Our foundation bitches were Gotrah Celtic Brie CD TDX (1986-2003) and Aust Ch Kantalpa Tuxn Tailz (1988-2001) and the success of our kennel has been based on progeny bred from these two great (very much missed) Borders.

To date, the honour roll for Borders carrying the Nahrof Prefix includes:

	37 Show Champions (41 Show titles) who together have won over
	100 Best Exhibit in Show awards (All Breeds/Specialities/Royals)
	230 Best Exhibit in Group awards including 6 Royal Groups and include Champions in AMERICA, FINLAND, ITALY, JAPAN, UK, ESTONIA
	9 Home Bred BEST IN SHOW winners
	5 Grand Champions (currently the breed record)
	3 Obedience Champions including
	1 Dual Champion (Show / Obedience)
	1 Dual Champion (Obedience / Tracking)
	1 Triple Champion (Show / Obedience / Tracking)
	1 Working Trial Champion (USA)
	Numerous other obedience, agility, endurance and herding titles

Our stud dogs & breeding bitches are x-rayed and hip scored under an approved scheme and since 1993 all litters have been eye tested.

During the past decade, we have shared an exciting journey with our Borders, from the whelping box to the winners podium, and through them, we have met many wonderful people both here in Australia and overseas. We look forward to more of the same success and enjoyment in the years to come.
