O'my! Border Collies

Bazinga! is a handsome gold/white (tested as non-merle both via Optimal Selection and GensolDX) singleton out of our co-owned Pixel (AKC CH RACH O'my! Hidden Identity RM3 RAE2 FDC NA NAJ XF FCAT SWE SCM SEM SBM DM DSX DDP CGCA CGCU TKP NW2 C-SWP NW2, from Dare/Spryte) and our talented Player (MACH2 PACH Yosemite's Hate The Game RN MXS MJB MXP2 MJP2 BCAT DMA DSX AMX ASA PT, 2 time World Champion in Skyhoundz ).

Zing! is our long awaited Player son. We had not used Player in our own program since 2016 and we are so excited that this highly anticipated breeding gave us exactly what we were wanting in one of Player's very last litters -- a gold boy, with the work ethic and team player attitude of his father, and genetically not a merle. Zing! checked all the boxes and we are very excited for him to stay and for his future. 

Zing! has incredible work ethic and is very serious. He loves to learn and he is "freaky good" like his father, shaping new behaviors in just 2-3 attempts and watching your eyes. His verbal understanding of objects and commands are on point. He switches between toy and food drive with no issues and is a natural tracker on the dock and in disc. At a few days shy of 14 weeks, Zing! earned his Trick Dog Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced titles! He is menally sharp as a tack when it comes to trick training. 

While Zing! is extremely loyal but will also work and generalize for anyone. He has tremendous focus in whatever he is doing. In his foundations and overall training it has been like working with his father just a decade later - his brain is amazing. In agility, he is showing nice jumping ability, has a great natural balance between working distance and staying in close, and finds his lines easily. He is a wonderful teammate. On the dock he has effortless pop and tracking and at a year of age was hitting some nice Master jumps from half dock.  In disc, he has big air hops like his daddy was known for in his day and at his second ever event he wins Spot Landing and earns his first invite to compete at the 2023 Skyhoundz World Championship. At his first Worlds, he placed 5th in Spot Landing with a very competitive round. I hope to let him do more frisbee once he finishes his MACH. He has a level head when in drive while giving 200% in whatever activity you're asking him to do, though he is a lot more dog (pushy, sharper and can be impulsive!) than his father. In his agility debut early 2023, he flew through the novice and open classes with ease and in limited trialing is in Masters starting his MACH journey less than a year after his debut. As of 2024 In NADD, he set a new Personal Best at just over 2 years old with an impressive 25'3" jump earning his Elite title, and starting his Masters career in Air Retrieve with an 18' snag. . 

We are really excited to have Zing! to continue with in sports. Zing! has been neutered and will not be utilized in our program.
