CH Ceilidh's New Beginnings CGCA CGCU TKN

Call Name: Nyssa

Breeders: Crystal Stoner (Accolade) & Micha Elliott (Ceilidh Collies)
Owners: Remy Henderson (Arabella Collies)

We cannot thank Micha Elliott of Ceilidh Collies enough for sending this girl to Arabella Collies! Nyssa is a dream come true. She has the beautiful head and type we've been looking to introduce to our program, but also the structure and movement we refuse to compromise on. She shows a lot of promise for sports and has been exposed to herding. Nyssa now works as my service dog, and finished her championship in short order.
Nyssa is merle, rough-factored, tri-factored, and white-factored.
