My journey with rough collies started at the age of nine, when my mother, who also grew up with collies, bought me my first puppy called Twinkle, named after her mother called Star. Twinkle was my best friend as I was an only child. We did everything together, from walks in the bush (woods) to shopping at Roselands Shopping Centre when dogs were allowed in shopping centres on leads. We had so much fun together shopping, playing in the bush, roly-poly down hills together and long walks everywhere. I saved up for my second collie when I was 17; her name was Tasha. Another great friend. Her nickname was tripod as she was run over by a brick truck and her toes were crushed. I took her to a top surgeon in North Sydney, Dr Black. He took her right front leg off and shaped it into her rib cage so there was no excess flab or limb hanging. It looked wonderful. Tasha lived until the ripe old age of 12. Having moved to England, settled after travelling and the boys wanting a dog, I thought now was a good time. I looked for two years for a puppy that I liked, that was healthy and had strong breeding. My son Alex and I were going to do dog agility with our new puppy Sasha, and for fun we went to a few local fêtes and dog shows and that is how we got hooked on dog showing. My younger son also showed both dogs, Sasha and Ruby. He did very well; he was a natural, very calm and relaxed. Dominic has won several trophies both in breed classes and Junior Handling. We are very proud of Dominic, Ruby and Sasha.

Good honest s/w who has a balanced head with sweet eye and expression and flat skull with ears on top. Long neck and good shoulders into firm topline although I found her slightly longer in loin than those above. Good tail set and carriage and she has enough bone for size. She put it all together on the move with super reach and drive from good angulation and well let down hocks.

Photos above April 2017 Crystal Palace CA 8/4/17 - Judge Ian Crowther Jr - 1st, BOB, PPG3 and PG3 Pastoral Group: A distinct, notable depth of quality present today. I appreciated it. 3rd in Group: Hanson's Ingledene Ebony Lace. Rough Collie. Always a pleasure to judge a sound and true moving example of this breed. Quality Tri just turned a year today. Sweet expression from correct eye, balanced head and small ears. Pleasing, well blended conformation throughout. Good show condition though could lose a little weight for ideal. Impressed on the move. EAST OF ENGLAND - 8/7/2017 - 1st JB and 1st YB JB 1 Hanson's Ingledene Ebony Lace. Out of coat but at least she couldn't hide her lovely shape, feminine wedge shaped head, almond shaped eyes, with good ear placement, moderate arch of neck on well placed shoulders, well sprung rib with slight rise over loin, well rounded croup, with good rear angulations, correct amount of bone, won this class on her steady easy gait. YB 1 Hanson's Ingledene Ebony Lace. Winner of Junior. Guildford and DCS 8/12/2018 - 1st Open, BOB O (5,1) 1. Hanson's Bel J Ch Ingledene Ebony Lace. This statuesque two and a half years tri bitch is not small but has great poise and balance with an almost regal air, fitting the general appearance section of the standard to a tee. At first glance I thought she was going to be lacking in stop but hands on proved otherwise and it is perfectly acceptable. Super length of muzzle to skull proportions, the flattest skull of the entry, clean cheeks, well rounded muzzle and lovely chin. Almond eye, well set and dark enough. Lovely ears, well set, used all the time and perfectly balancing the head, all combining to give that queenly look. Super length of neck with arch flows into a beautifully angulated front and matching angles at the rear. Height to length proportions are perfect and there is a lovely flow over her topline, gently rising over the loin and falling sweetly away over the croup to a long tail, low set hocks and good feet. Mature in body with good infill of chest which is of good depth and broad behind the shoulders. In full coat which is flat and dense with a harsh outer coat and soft undercoat, jet black, bright tan and showily marked with white. There is quite simply nothing out of balance or proportion and the more she moves the better she goes, so freely, with real reach and drive but lightly and without effort. I could watch her all day and she could work all day too. In the challenge I preferred her underjaw, maturity in body and rear drive to the PG winner who just needs more time. For me she was a most worthy BOB and quite simply a super example of a Rough Collie. In my opinion she is Champion quality and I hope she gets her just deserts here in the UK.
