After attending my first Janice DeMello seminar in Alaska in 1995, I knew I wanted a Hob Nob border collie. I was amazed at their relationship with Janice, and their will to work and to please. While living in the panhandle of Florida, I had several opportunities to watch Wendy Pape's Surf running in Agility. I was so impressed by this handsome, amazing dog, that I then knew I wanted a Scheme puppy!  Many military moves, and rescue Border collies later, the timing was right for me to get a Hob Nob puppy from Janice. We had finally settled in Las Vegas, and I had room and time for another addition to train. Imagine how excited I was to find out Swizzle had been bred to Scheme and there were puppies on the way!!!  That had to be the world’s longest gestation. It seemed like I waited forever. Once the “six-pack” were on the ground, days were spent looking at weights and pictures on the website, loving them all and wondering which would be mine…Well, I got the best puppy of that litter, or of any litter- Hob Nob Perfect Copy-“Ditto”, so named because he looks just like his father, Scheme. Ditto is everything I asked for and more. Janice added lots more options to this dog than I knew were available!  He is smart, handsome, and sweet and will do anything I ask with gusto. From a nap at my feet, to playing ball, to diving into the pool for hours on end, herding our sheep, running agility, scaring away peacocks, Ditto is always ready for action.

I can’t thank Janice enough for sending me this party in a black and white suit. I am awed by the dogs she breeds, and honored to own and love one like Ditto.  MaryKay Grahn, NV
