O'my! Border Collies

Remedy was our princess—stunning, sweet, and full of fire. She was the total package: beauty, brains, athleticism, and that unmistakable charisma that made everyone stop and take notice. Whether performing in front of a crowd, flying over an agility course, or curled up on the couch, Rem lit up the room.

She was our go-to girl—the ultimate demo dog, always ready to help me in my lessons, pose for a photoshoot, or put on a crowd-pleasing performance. With her charm and presence, she quickly became a media favorite, starring in multiple commercials and print campaigns, including Royal Canin, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and a dog collar brand. But it was in the sports arena that Remedy truly came alive.

Remedy was a natural athlete, bold and driven in everything she did—agility, frisbee, lure coursing, dock diving. She was an effortless learner, quick to pick up new skills and eager to work. She lived for play and thrived on teamwork. She earned her first Master Agility Champion (MACh) title shortly after having her first litter, becoming my second MACH dog. In the disc world, Remedy was legendary. She was a multiple Skyhoundz World Finalist and became a World Champion in Bullseye (2016), Pairs D/A (2015), and Time Trial (2017)—all while raising puppies and balancing multiple sports. Her personal bests included a jaw-dropping 61 points in Bullseye and 15.9 seconds in Time Trial.

She was a fierce competitor and an incredible teammate, qualifying and placing in nearly every national-level event she entered—including Skyhoundz, USDDN, and UKI’s U.S. Open, where she earned podium placements and Final Round qualifications across multiple events. She dazzled in the ring and on the field, never losing her joy or her signature sparkle.

While none of Remedy's puppies were used in our program, she still gave us two fantastic litters (one for her breeder, Holley Grooms), with puppies who had her same overall demeanor and fire. Her greatest gift was giving me my heart dog, Hush. 

In 2020, Remedy passed away suddenly following a short but brave battle with Thymoma, a rare and aggressive cancer. We pursued every option in hopes of more time, but it was not meant to be. She earned her wings on July 2nd, 2020, surrounded by love, just weeks after her diagnosis. 

Remedy was co-owned with Holther Border Collies, and we are eternally grateful she picked us to be Remedy's person. Her passing left us all heartbroken—but her light remains in his household thanks to her son, Hush, and to her breeder Holley Grooms for letting us use Rem's nephew, MACH2 ReCon, for a very special litter to get a little piece of Remedy back into our home. We see parts of Remedy in her relatives Firefly, Buzz, Poptart, and Flapjack. 

Remedy was everything we could have asked for and more and years later we are still devastated from the loss.  Forever our princess. Forever missed. Forever grateful she was ours.
