TAMARON COLLIES
Tamaron Collies now has 61 champions. Our latest homebred champion , Ch Tamaron's Island Breeze (Breeze, daughter of Landon),
finished at 10 months with 6 breed wins.
We are a family operation established in 1988 under the direction of Trudy Taphorn. Located 3/4 hour's drive northwest of Edmonton (Alberta, Canada), Tamaron was named Top Breeder of Rough Collies in Canada in 1992, 1999, and 2000. To date, our Collies have garnered 61 homebred champions, including the 1996 CCC National (BOS in Specialty, BW and BP), 1997 CCC National (Best in Specialty), 2004 CCC National (WB), and the 2006 CCC National (BW and BP in Specialty), 2 international titles, 1 multi Specialty winning Australian Champion, 11 obedience titles, 4 Herding Instinct titles, and 6 co-bred champions. We hope this web site helps to answer your questions about us and our dogs. We have tried to provide information specific to us, as well as to the breed to help out those not familiar with Rough and Smooth Collies.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Monday, March 24:
After 24 hours of pretty much straight driving, I am home from the CCA in Wisconsin! The long drive to and from was worth every single minute as I did unbelievably well there! I took 3 dogs and either won or placed in the classes with all three! First up was Kennedy (Ch. Tamaron The Real Deal) who was in the 12-18 month class in smooth dogs. He won the class and was then one of three pulled for consideration for Winners out of a total of 46 males. Judging by the number of handlers, breeders and judges who told me after that he was a stunning male, I felt like I had gone Winners anyway! The recognition he got from my peers was truly amazing.
Next up was Blush (Tamaron's Caught in the Act) who was in the 12-18 month rough bitch class. It was a huge clas of 24 and when all was said and done, Blush WON THE CLASS!!!! She showed like a veteran and never let me down. After the show 2 weeks before the National when she wouldn't put all 4 feet on the ground at one time, I couldn't believe how she showed. What an exciting win that was!!!!!!
Then, on Friday, I showed Jasmine (Ch. Blossom Hill Tamaron's Promise) in the Open Sable rough bitch calss where out of a huge entry of 27, she placed 4th!!!!!!
At some point during the Foundation dinner on Thursday night, Kennedy decided he was jealous of Blush's 1st place ribbon so he took it down and tried to destroy it! He left the other one alone so I guess he thought he would eat hers and leave his intact! Thanks to Gabe and Luisa Diaz who saved the ribbon from total destruction! Must be a case of sibling rivalry!!!
Kelly Anthony came with me and I was so glad she was there to watch the Tamaron dogs do so well at the National. I think she thought it was worth the long drive, too! We are already planning for Springfield next year!!! Labels: CCA in Wisconsin
