Tippsy was born on 17th September 2003. Her father is Sh Ch Tonkory Palmerston at Fayken and her mother is International and Irish Ch Sankenali Going for Gold. Bred by Maureen Murtagh in Ireland.

Her puppy career was outstanding, resulting in her becoming the top Border Collie bitch puppy in the UK during 2004. She gained her Junior Warrant title at just 11 months of age and at just 13 months of age Tipsy won the Bitch CC at Driffield Championship Show. November 2005 Tippsy won her 2nd CC and this time went Best in Show at the Scottish Border Collie Club Championship Show. Her next show was Crufts 2006 where she won the limit bitch class and then immediately followed that with the CC and BIS at the Border Collie Club of GB Championship Show. Shortly after this club show success Tippsy won the CC and then BIS at the East Anglian Border Collie Club Championship Show and the CC at Blackpool Championship Show.

Having gained her title we are currently giving her a rest and plan to mate Tippsy at her next season. Puppy bookings are now being taken.
