A lot  of words come to mind when I think of Liv...diva, brat, instigator, show off, smart, beautiful...but she also reminds me that we must always look for virtues.  Liv is the result of an 'oops' litter, a breeding I would never have done - smooth to smooth? All tricolors? I would have to be crazy.  Then Liv reminded me that life is for learning and to think outside the box, coat and color be *&!#ed.
 
Liv was not every judges cup of tea...but those who found her REALLY liked her! Judge Barb Linder found Liv in a big Open class for 2nd place at the Collie Club of America National. Shortly after at the Utah Collie Club and judge Marcia Bittner took her from the classes all the way to Best In Specialty.
 
After a change in direction in my breeding plans, Liv retired and spent her latter years loved by Yaskus family.
