Cruise looking gorgeous as ever!

Cruise is a gorgeous chocolate and white Border Collie from the famous Woodsorrel lines.

Cruise's agility career has been somewhat eratic, he won his first Novice class in April 2004, and went senior in August 2004 after 4 Novice wins in total. Very fast and "enthusiastic" Cruise and I are not quite on the same wavelength yet - Cruises legs work faster then my brain! He's extremely powerful and has a natural "scopey" jump. In June 2005 he won his first Intermediate towards Advanced Status, and competed for World Championship selection, finishing 8th and just out of the qualifiers.

In 2006 he has qualified for the Pedigree Trek Pairs finals with his partner Spice (Shipelle Spice of Life).

He's very much a "lady's man" - tall, dark and handsome (and of course being "chocolate", what lady could resist him). His temperment is spot on and his has quite a strong eye too.

Cruise is on the right of this Trio. The pup in the centre now belongs to Gwyn and Anne Roberts (Hinckley), Woodsorrel Red Dragon. Sister Meg (Woodsorrel Nutmeg - shown further down the page) went to Dave & Linda Hutchinson from Rugby.

A bit more mature now, Cruise at 6 months.

Almost an adult, at 8 months

At 9 months - handsome isn't he!

So Gorgeous!

Cruises pedigree is on the Border Collie Database, click here to see it.

Below is a photo of his Woodsorrel Relations, however, perhaps the most famous of his Woodsorrel Relations are Woodsorrel Red Wine (Mary Ray), and Woodsorrel Spectre (Nicola Garrett). Cruise's mother (Guinness) is also the mother of Spectre and his Grandma is the mother of Quincy (Woodsorrel Red Wine), making Quincy his half uncle. However, on his fathers side the lines are very different, see below.

Cruise's father Torrin (Teshon Fatal Temptation) is an Obedience Dog belonging to Jan Aldridge. Torrin comes from Stillmoor, Bheinn, Wizaland and Sealight lines, and that famous dog - Ob Champ Dalemain Red Rascal is Torrin's Grandfather. Cruise is definitely taking after his father, both being very tall dogs.

Cruise is not available at stud, so please do not enquire. He was castrated in 2005 due to epilepsy in a litter mate, which made breeding inappropriate. So these days he only has eyes for me :-)
