Or view Sasha's official statistics

Sasha lives with Howard and Jannie Johnson from Salmon Arm, British Columbia, Canada. She has been spayed and tattooed

Here she lays on a bed in their loft where they usually watch television.
She loves people. Every Sunday they have about 10-12 people come over for bible study. She gets excited as the time approaches when people will arrive. When the last person is gone, she walks around sniffing to make sure everyone has left and then lays down.
At first they took her out on leash to potty. After she finished, she would run around like crazy. Now they don't need to keep her on leash. She never leaves her territory. She knows to sit and wait to have her feet wiped when she comes inside.
She will not eat alone. She waits for everyone to say grace. Then she drinks from her water bowl. She will not eat until Jannie and Howard are seated and her dish is brought near the table. Then she eats.
She sleeps on the bed with them. They tried to get her to sleep on the floor but Sasha kept them awake and they finally let her onto the bed.
Sasha is one of only three Collies in the area. Everyone seems to love her and she loves them.

What a happy dog.
She is one of the few Collies that likes water. She won't swim but loves to go wading and splashing around in the shallow water.

Sasha loves to play fetch with sticks and frizbees. Unless she gets distracted by something interesting. Then she must investigate!

News
Because Sasha is a family pet and not a show dog, we do not know of all her accomplishments. If the only accomplishment she has is that of being a wonderful companion, then it is enough.

A happy day
An early stroll

A very early photo
Another early photo

Out for a walk
The other pups loved Sasha

Sitting in the grass
Here she was seeing grass for the first time

We made an early, unsuccessful attempt to stack Sasha
It didn't work very well. She was too young and not trained

Another photo from her first outing
She was still just learning about grass

She quickly got comfortable
Here she watches her brothers and sisters play outside

Sasha was a very smart dog and learned to "sit" early
She always did like sitting on your lap

One of the last photos before she left.
Her wonderful family in Canada takes her to the beach all the time

She loves racing through the shallow water
Like all Rainybank dogs, Sasha is a big ham and loves attention
