It is with deepest sadness that I have to report that my mum, Eira Moores passed away on Monday 15th December. Missing her so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mum started in Rough Collies in 1965 and registered our affix \u201cManordeifi\u201d (see Rough Collie notes). In 1984 with support from Mum I bred my 1st litter of Smooth Collies from my Rough Collie Manordeifi Rosalyn, a daughter of M. Dixie Rose (my foundation bitch & Birthday present from Mum). Dixie Rose was by a son of Honeydew of Vandeana x daughter of Brettonpark Dixie Darling – 2 of Mum\u2019s foundation bitches so all my Smooths can be traced back to the beginning of Manordeifi Collies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mum owned several Smooth Collie dogs over the years including Manordeifi Sensational & his grandson Manordeifi Pathfinder who won a RCC. Also Manordeifi Spring Designer who sired Tomalca Buttons\u2019n\u2019bows at Manordeifi (dam of Manordeifi Bow Regard). Mum\u2019s last Smooth Collie was Manordeifi Sapphire Dawn who we lost in March 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mum awarded CCs in both breeds. She awarded CCs in Smooth Collies 7 times from City of Birmingham in 1992, Crufts in 1996 and lastly Lancs & Cheshire Collie in 2012. She also judged in Sweden in 2000, an enjoyable experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mum\u2019s funeral will take place at Hereford Crematorium on Wednesday 21st January at 12.15pm. Donations to St Michael\u2019s Hospice, Hereford. Please let me know if you are planning to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
