2012 Sweepstakes Judge

Noel Sieh Fuller
Lookout Border Collies, Nebraska

I am honored to be a part of the KTBCC Specialty show-thank you so much for the opportunity to put my hands on so many nice dogs!! To introduce myself, I have had a border collie in my life for 12 years and cannot imagine life without one at my side. Currently, I share my home with a handful of border collies that come from different backgrounds yet share very similar traits. My husband and I also have Parson Russell Terriers.

As a child I gained a lifetime of experience in the horse show ring riding many different breeds in many different disciplines. Starting off in hunter/jumpers, and then to Dressage which was my main focus. I was also able to experience the western disciplines along the way. This experience was my foundation in understanding that correct conformation and a successful performance go hand in hand. As I transitioned from horses into the world of dogs, I have used this foundation to better understand sound structure and its importance in a dog successfully doing what it was bred to do. “Form to Function”

Together my dogs and I are currently training in Obedience, Rally, Herding, Agility, Conformation and Earth Dog events. While I am proud of my accomplishments, I am more proud of the puppies that I have produced that have gone on to be champions in the ring as well as those who simply excel at being a favorite family pet. I am a BCSA member, and have been involved with border collie rescue through the years as well.

Thanks again for the opportunity to be part of your event!
