I'd like to add a special dedication to CH Millknock Moonstone ROM-P, Banner. At this National many of the dogs competing in herding, obedience, and agility were descendants or direct descendants. In herding alone his grand-kids earned 8 Qualifying scores, many through GCh Kelso's Moon Dancin' HSAs. Banner's direct offspring earned 9 herding qualifying scores. In Agility many of the top qualifiers were his kids, grand-kids or great grand-kids. Banner placed in the Bred by Exhibitor Class at the CCA in 1998 and won the Bred by Exhibitor Class at the CCA in 1999. He is our template for Collies that can do it all; conformation, performance and as producers. We miss Banner every day but his legacy lives on. 
Congratulations to Jim and Slater on their MACH 4 !!!!!
