In Conclusion
On August 31st 2010 at the age of 7 1/2 years our beloved boy 'Rex" Grand Champion Bobern Mastrs
Aprentice HSAs, sadly and regretfully was put to sleep.
He was suffering an incurable cancer and could no longer go on.
The day that the incurable cancer was diagnoised he had to be put regetfully to sleep as there was no other option.
His last show being bravely run at the Ekka with a second in his class.
His second last show being another Best in Show at Kalbar.
This lovely boy had many achievements in such a short time and with limited progeny
has become a 'Limited Edition' in the Border Collie world.
Rex was a great show dog who in his achievements won Best in Show's, Reserve in Show, Runner Up in
Speciality Show, all classes in Show and reserve champion at the Ekka 2008.
Despite these wins his best in Group win was at the Ekka 2009 was the highlight. He made us proud.
He also achieved in the herding trials as well as getting his HSAs and first leg in HSBs with a score
of 90. He placed 4th out of 8 in a farm course being a little more challenging for him - He loved
herding and was a reliable when putting the sheep away at night.
He was always good with the kids, the other pets like our cats, he loved to ride on the back of the
truck with the wind in his face and hair.
On a personal note he was extremely loyal to me , never hesitating to do his best for me.
I loved that about him. He left us many memories and stories to tell.
Thank you Rex.
Rex had his critics and unfortunately their critisms were unfair,
born out of a competitive spirit and spite. Please leave him now in peace.
He didn't deserve your critism as you never really knew him like we did.
He was and still is the 'Best of the Best', loved and adored by many and hated by few.
I believe without a doubt that this dog has gone to heaven, being a good and faithful dog.
He will be missed dearly everyday and not forgotten.
I loved him dearly
Rex why did you have to go, there will never be another like you
Being awarded Best in Group at the Royal Queensland Championship Show - EKKA 2009 Judge: Mr Philip John (India) - I was 8 months pregnant at the time, notice the bump.
Rex's first pass in B-Course started on sheep with a score of 90

29th May Borbern Mastrs Aprentice - Rex had a go at chasin sheep today. He did not want to stop. He at least has instinct to round them up. We hope he learnt a bit from the other working dogs there. Surfir Its Awonder - "Millie " did not show much interest, having more interest in her surroundings and making her mark and was keen to get back into the car. We have seen her work geese before. We are sure she did not chase the sheep because she was aware of us watching her. Elkana wishes to thank Dale and Sue Formosa of Shaundar Kennels for taking the time out allowing the Elkana Border Collies to see if they have the instinct to work sheep or not.
