Bob and Jamie then went on to earn both American Kennel Club and Canadian Kennel Club Companion
Dog Excellent and Utility Dog obedience titles.  This same dog also earned an all-breed High in Trial Award
and High in Trial at the Collie Club of America national specialty in 1970.  At that time, Jamie was the only
Collie in Michigan with a Utility Dog title. Since then, Bob and his wife Janet (current
MAPBD Treasurer)
have completed obedience titles on other Collies they bred, have had one "home-bred" Champion and
other Collies that they showed. Bob has judged many obedience matches throughout Michigan.
