Spree was the dog who followed in the footsteps of my Super Dog Java and far surpassed him.  Spree is an absolute love and gentleman but also has a tough side when called upon to protect his family and home.  Thank you for breeding this wonderful dog and giving me the opportunity to love and train him.

( Herding Champion & Breed Champion )

Photo Courtesy ~ Great Dane Photography

This is a great honor at Rising Sun for our Ripley becoming a "Dual Champion"... Rippy finished her herding championship in June at the Great River Stock Dog Trial in Scandia Minnesota. She needed "One" major .... She won advanced ducks going Reserve High in Trial. Anyone that has ever watched Ripley work... She puts her heart and soul 110% into everything that she does. She is one of the most gifted and talented stock dogs that I have had the pleasure to train and trial. In Ripley's younger years... she finished her breed championship with ease... earning several "Best of Breeds" along the way. Ripley is pure class...and proves that great dogs live on through future generations. Ripley is a daughter of our late Dual Champion Magic Mowtion. Her sire is Rhys ... One of Terry Parrish's top talented successful trial dogs. Ripley is one of those "Special" Once in a Life time dogs. How Blessed can we be? Ripley is eleven years old.... and still going strong!



RISING SUN BLAZING STAR IS A  "RISING STAR" ON THE AGILITY COURSE!

Rising Sun's Blazing Star AX OXJ AXF SSA SG SR

PHOTO COURTESY GAINES PHOTOGRAPHY

Rising Sun's Blazing Star (Blazer) is certainly living up to her name. She is living up to her potential in the agility ring.  She started competing at the age of 2 years, and by the time she was 3 had reached the Excellent level in all AKC events, despite living in Idaho...Where agility trials have been infrequent at best.  She is a brilliant competitor, causing people anywhere near the ring to stop and watch her incredibly athletic and fast performances.  Her handler, Jan Skurzynski, is working hard to adjust her style to this kind of speed and athleticism.  Blazer is a delight to live with, as loving and affectionate at home as she is ferocious in attacking agility courses.  We feel extremely fortunate to have her in our lives.

( BLAZER is a talented young Female by our Ladd and out of our Jane. )

It translates to reddish-brown speckled cloud/champion. 

Mac has already been herding the bison.  He felt they were constantly getting too close to Dad when I was fixing the fence.  I was finally able to convince him to stop after he had moved them from one side of the pasture to the other over a total distance of about ¾ of a mile.  I was so proud of him as well as full of fear for his safety.  For a dog his age and size he was amazing beyond words in natural talent, speed and bravery.  He ran as fast as the bison and his belly was no more than an inch above the ground nearly the whole time.  My Father witnessed the incident and he said he could see that Mac was definitely in control of the bison as well as their fear of him.  He amazes me every day and loves to play with me; I’m his favorite chew toy that makes noise.   He just came and had to give me a kiss out of the blue while I am writing this.

Written by Chad Olson from Fertile Minnesota. Mac is a red merle male from our Imp.Mars and Imp.Stella breeding. He is pictured at 13 weeks old.

IN LOVING MEMORY

IDA REE BECKMANN

~ MAY 4 - 1928 - MARCH 2 - 2010 ~

Champion Border Collie Blood lines

After a long illness ... My mother passed at 81 years of age. She had a deep love for the dogs, animals and the out doors with a "Heart" bigger than the Sun. She will be missed greatly ... I was truly blessed to have a mother with so many tremendous gifts and talents. I know in my heart that she is watching over things at Rising Sun Farm.

God saw she was getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arm around her and whispered " Come with Me." With tearful eyes we watched her suffer and saw her fade away. Although we loved her dearly, we could not make her stay. A Golden heart stopped beating; hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best.
