"A kiss is just a kiss"

 

Hob Nob Over The Rainbow aka 'Max'  is now living in Manhattan, KS and is dearly loved and adored by Dan & Philine this is what they have to say about Max..."We are absolutely amazed, astounded and extremely pleased with Max!  Between your outstanding upbringing the first 7 weeks and our intense attention to him since then, he is incredibly integrated into our family already and understands a great deal. He knows a number of commands, listens attentively when told not to chew on something, is wonderfully inquisitive about everything, can run up and down small slides at the playground, cooperates with bathing, has done a little swimming at the lake, climbed a boulder field, walked a balance  beam, gone through a tunnel (pipe at a construction site), walks a low teeter-totter, is perfectly house-clean and is expert at cuddling and licking our faces!  I'm sure I've left out some items, but he's really remarkable and we're thrilled to have him (and he's extremely happy here)! 
 

Hob Nob Sybil's Mind Game aka 'Sybil' is, in one word, Awesome !!!

She is exactly what we were hoping for.  Her personality is perfect.  She is happy, curious, playful, and attentive, and she meets each new adventure with incredible confidence.  Sybil's ability to learn new behaviors seems to be exceptional, and if that is not enough, she is also gorgeous!   Sybil has fit right into our doggie family and she loves watching our other dogs practice their agility.  Besides being loved by her Dad and Mom, Sybil will be in training for agility, obedience and possibly herding.  This little girl has exceeded our expectations. Thanks to Jan DeMello for giving us an exceptional line of Border Collies and to Sandi Andersen for investing the time and energy to raise a litter of perfect pups. Mark Bowerman, CO

 

<Hob Nob Smoke is now living with David & Deanna Kirshbaum in So. CA.  They will be taking lessons with Janice DeMello in obedience, agility and herding when he grows up some.  Smoke is a confident guy who took charge of his Daddy Scheme when they first met:>)

Hob Nob Moving Violation> aka 'Ticket' Thank you Jan and Kim for helping me decide to own my first ever male dog.  I just couldn't imagine life without my Ticket.  He just happens to be the happiest, well adjusted, not to mention good looking, dog I have ever owned. 

Once his owner learns how to handle his speed, his career in agility should prove to be quite awesome.  He can go from being a cuddly couch potato one minute to over drive the next, always looking for the next challenge.  His ability and desire to learn just amazes me, with that look on his face that says, "What's next?"  He truly is an delightful companion, thank you.

<Hob Nob Easy Rider 'Chopper' is the Border Collie that every new owner dreams of finding.  He is affectionate, personable, willing to please, eager to learn, curious, self confident, but not reckless and a very easy puppy to live with.

Before his first week with us was over, he was sitting on command, automatically sitting and making eye contact before going outside and going to 'potty' on command.  Within 24 hours of his arrival, he was friends with my cat Opie, and also with my 3 year old Belgian Malinois.

I know that he will be a challenge to train at times because of his determination, but I have no doubts that he is going to be an outstanding agility competitor and an awesome herding dog!  Welcome to Savoy, baby Chopper!  Jan Berger, MA

 

It's hard to sound original when describing my Scheming Herder - so I could just say "ditto" to what everyone else his written about his littermates ...but I won't.
Hob Nob Hits The High Note -  "Tenor" is  wonderful dog to live with!  The day I brought him home he was extremely attentive, had phenomenal eye contact and was practically housebroken.  He loves everyone he meets, both human and canine. 

 

 

 

As far as training, he's an absolute joy to train - willing to play any game any time, learning everything at warp speed.  He's an extremely self-confident pup that's ready for anything.  Sandi and Jan, thank you for breeding and
raising such an incredible litter. My little "boy" was certainly worth
traveling across the country for.  Ann Kaiser - Long Island, NY
