The service and the day experience was fantastic. This was a birthday present for my partner and was money well spent. Thankyou

The Collie dog experience with Vickie & her trusty well trained dogs & sheep was a fabulous way to spend a morning and gain great insight into the breed. We had a most enjoyable time and Vickie was marvelous - we would highly recommend.
