My name is Jemma Bridge. I began showing at the start of 2010 and began handling Border Collies in May. I met Gail at a show in Castle Hill when I took "Casey" into Junior handlers. We did really well in the ring together so Gail entered her at a show in Erskine Park for me to take her in conformation and Juniors! Since then I have been helping Gail with handling her dogs! She has taught me the art of grooming the Border Collies and helped me improve on my handling.
Thankyou Gail for everything you have done.
Thankyou Leanne Rattray ( SHINARN Australian Shepherds) for getting me started in dog shows...
