Torin lives with Pia Biber in Aldorf, Germany. He has settled into his new home and seems to be happy. He plays well with other dogs. He loves water. When the hose is turned on, he runs to play in the stream of water.

In August 2006, Torin joined a puppy play group so he could be socialized and play with other dogs the same age.

Torin got a "VV" at the first show he attended in the Puppy Class. "VV" means Very Promising, the best valuation a puppy can get.

Here is what the judge wrote:
“Young dog, 6 months old, strong and harmoniously built. Strong head, dark brown eyes, correctly placed ears. Right ear correctly carried and tipped. Left ear still slightly heavy tipped. Very good neck/back line. Correct croup, long tail. Unfortunately, tail end is carried slightly curled. Very well angulated joints, already very well developed chest. Powerful moving with very good drive.”

Torin is now a father. He was bred to Quin, a blue Merle. The puppies are extremely cute. They were born February 2, 2008

We are in regular contact with Pia Biber, Torin's owner, so the information here should be more up to date than with the pet Collies.
