   Club Member Bio - Cliff and Sherri Gourlie - Clishe Collies
From Sherri's earliest days, her life was full of dogs.  Her grandparents bred Dachshunds under the Royalea Reg'd kennel name and she was actively involved in the care of the dogs and the raising of the puppies.

Coincidentally, Cliff's parents had various Dachshund dogs during his childhood.  It was almost as if these two people had such similar backgrounds they were destined to be together.

They got their first collie in 2000 with the purchase of a smooth sable merle male from Kendale Perm. Reg'd.  He was to replace the recent loss of a collie cross and from the first moment demonstrated that he had the same wonderful personality.  With the purchase of a rough blue merle female in 2004, their fate of a future with collies was determined.

Cliff and Sherri have such a passion for dogs that most of their life revolves around them.  The last few years have centred on competing in agility with all their collies since 2006, as well as some confirmation showing with CH. Kendale Gimme Some in 2005 and CH. Clishe Black Magic in 2009. With the most recent litter in May 2011, their canine family expanded to include a sable merle rough collie male called Clishe Torch Bearer (Iacchus "Ike").

They have been members of the Barrie Kennel and Obedience Club since 2007 and are active members in the AAC (Agility Association of Canada), Canine Performance Events (CPE), Collie Club of Canada (CCC) and CKC (Canadian Kennel Club). .
