MEET THE BREEDS 2010

Photos and article by Jackie Caruso, CCA CT DD

Thanks to the dedicated members of Tri County Collie Breeders Association (TCCBA) and Hartford- Springfield Collie Club (HSCC) who mobilized quickly to respond to the request from AKC to bring Collies to the Meet the Breeds 2010 at the Javits Center in New York City on October 16 and 17. The Collie was very well represented and showcased at this event.

Breed Table


The breed was represented by TCCBA members Jackie Caruso, Pat Holmes and Elvys Maldonado with CH Devinwood Ramble On "Gaby" and HSCC members Judy Virchow and Helen Campbell with CH Tisbury's Love You Like the Devil "Miley" and CH Provenhill Tisbury Sambouca "Lindsey".

The dogs had a wonderful day meeting and greeting people and making friends all day.
The AKC did a spectacular job of showcasing the breeds and making sure that the clubs had representatives there to educate the public. The Cat Fancier Association of America was also in attendance and there was a beautiful display of cats. There were vendors and demonstrations and the event was first class all the way.

The collie, as always, was one of the most popular booths to visit. Gaby , Miley and Lindsey were wonderful ambassadors for the collie and we gave out hundreds of copies of "The Collie as a Family Pet" from the CCA website which is a wonderful description of our breed and all aspects of living with our breed. We all answered questions all day long and many people came away with a genuine interest and respect for our breed because there is no better way to learn about our breed than interacting with a collie.


"Miley" was a great ambassador for the collie
at the booth.

We will be there next year to showcase our wonderful breed and will coordinate with the clubs in the area to make sure we have representation for our breed. In these days of anti dog legislation and sentiment, it is important for all dog fanciers to give back to the breed and the sport. It was a great day and an event that all cat and dog fanciers should attend.

Our thanks again to the members who attended and shared their dogs and showed the public what a wonderful breed the collie is!
