Washington and I both did our first conformation show together and he got his first point with AKC. I used to have a broken sliding vertebrae back for years and never did do the active things with our collies. A few years ago , I finally found a doctor that would risk the long complicated surgery to rebuild my back. I can stand up straight again and lost the weight from the in-activity fun eating. It has taken a few more years to get in better shape. So this is very special and fun to move around with the collies finally. Tercan Washington Of Honeytree
