About Me
Meet Bowie, our Dog of the Month for April.
Bowie is our “Starman” this month. A Rough Collie who is our very own Lassie at the club. And just like movie star dogs, Bowie is incredibly photogenic.
Bowie is 2 years old this month, competed in his first ribbon trial back in November, and has already notched up his second Jumpers C win at ribbon trials! His biggest challenges so far have been the tunnels, which we know are all dark and scary the first few times – but are now his favourite thanks to lots of work and determination – and the weaves, which according to his human he’s starting to get the hang of, except in competition when the next obstacle is more enticing (we can ALL relate, right?). He will do absolutely anything for chicken, however, so we are sure they will have them down in no time and be well on their way to reaching their goal of competing in the Senior class.
When he is not competing or training, he loves to play with his Frisbee, which we hear he can catch mid-air and enjoys any place he can bound around in long grass.
When it comes time to relax, you won’t find him far from the couch, whether that be curled up all nice and warm, or spread out when he gets too hot, which must be often with that luscious long coat of his.

- Favourite Toy: Frisbee or Fluffy Tug
- Secret Talent: Always knowing where the camera is and posing appropriately
- Little known fact: Bowie refuses to walk on slippery surfaces like tiles or polished concrete if he’s feeling uncomfortable or stressed, making trips to the vet and groomers a bit interesting!
