In addition to Alasdair’s knowledge and understanding of dogs, he has a remarkable ability to identify what qualities can and should continue to be bred to produce world class border collies. This is most evident in looking at Alasdair’s achievements and the pedigree of dogs along the way.

In 1984 Alasdair won the Scottish National with Mirk. In 1993 Alasdair won the Supreme Championship at the International with Nan, Mirk’s granddaughter. After judging the U.S. National Finals in 1995, Alasdair won the USBCHA Finals in 1996 with Ben. In 1997, 1998 and 1999 he won the U.S. Finals with his International Champion Nan. In three of the following four years, he won the U.S. Finals with Bill, a son of Nan and Ben. Alasdair won numerous other open trials with Bill (owned by Judy Aycock) including Edgeworth, Bloomfield and the Bluegrass.
Alasdair also won the Bluegrass and Meeker with another son of Nan and Ben and litter mate to Bill, Sweep. Alasdair was first and second with the brothers at the North American Sheepdog Championship.

These championship bloodlines are prominent in our breeding program today.  I  compete with Alba Cap, who is by Nick, son of Nan & Ben (litter brother to Bill & Sweep). We also have young dogs from lines crossed with 2009 National Champion Nap including Alasdair's 2010 National Nursery Champion Coll, a son of Nap.

Multiple Open trial winner's of Alasdair's breed include Don Russell's Sweep, Mike Hanley's Moss & Alba Cap (bred respectively by Alasdair’s Sweep, Bill and their litter brother Nick) as well as my Max (a gr. grandson of Nan's litter brother & gr.,gr.grandson of old Mirk) and my Bear, who's grandmother is Alasdair's June (June like Mirk, is Redpath's kind).

In addition to these bloodlines we also import top quality dogs from Great Britain that we feel possess the qualities of future champions both to sell and integrate into our breeding program. Nell, is a very nice female we imported and she is the mother of Cap, Lyn and June (pictured below) as well as the mother of Carnegie's 2007 Scottish National Champion, Lark and Casey's 2006 International Supreme Brace Champion, Jill.
