In 2005 Christiane and Thomas Grosser and their young daughter Laura came from Germany to collect their new puppy, who was named (at Laura's request) Brambledale Black Enya.

Laura and Enya grew up together and were soon competing in agility competitions with great success. Later they moved on to herding and last month they took their Herding Working Test.

Christiane writes:

"Laura and Enya have passed the HWT (Herding Working Test –Traditional Style). Next day they then were allowed to compete in Trial class 1, won first place and are now allowed to start in Trial class 2. We are very proud of them!!!
Attached you will find a photo of both of them – dirty, but very happy (Saturday the sun was shining, but on Sunday it was raining all day and the ground was very muddy ...)"
