Christina will be competing at the OEC with her lovely Border Collie
Eze (Legacy's Eze Ezekiel.) He will be 8 years old at the time of the OEC and
he competes at
Advanced level in both Heelwork to Music and Freestyle and also competes in agility. He
is duel registered ISDS (both his parents work sheep) and KC and arrived as an
extremely challenging and strong willed 8 week old puppy! After much hard work
he has blossomed into Christina’s dream Border Collie who she wouldn’t change
for the world. In 2013 he was part of the British Team at the OEC in Holland and
he then went on to compete in the Crufts 2014 Freestyle Finals. He's a real
sweetie to live with and has a delightful
personality.
Christina also shares her life with 2 other wonderful
dogs, Ru and Shai. Ru is a 7 year old Great Dane who Christina rescued when he
was 6 months old (this was the 3rd time that he had been re-homed.) He is an
absolute delight, being great fun to work with, very loving and a big baby! He
currently competes at Advanced level in Freestyle and Intermediate level in
Heelwork and is the only Great Dane in the UK to compete at HTM. He is
affectionately known as the ‘Dancing Dane’ when he performs as part of the Dog
Activities Display Team at Crufts. The newest member of the family is Shai, a 3
year rescue Border Collie who joined the family in February of last year. He’d
had no training before arriving and LOVES his training sessions in obedience,
agility and HTM. He has just started to compete in HTM and Christina has high
hopes for him in the future. He is also a very sweet (if somewhat enthusiastic!)
boy.
Christina's work and interests
include teaching the violin and piano, singing for events, running a Gospel
Choir and training dogs, and she lives with her supportive and encouraging
Husband, David.
Christina first started HTM 11 years ago with her Great Dane Caleb,
and her rescue German Shepherd Asaph. She will forever be indebted to her lovely
dogs for teaching her so much of what she has learnt, as well as the many people
who have helped her along the way.
