Devinwood's Top Dogs

Ch. Twin Oaks Devinwood Accord
(May 3, 1987 - May 9, 2000)
We mourn the loss of one of our all-time favorite Collies, "Jodi". Jodi worked her Baby Jodi way into our hearts from the moment we met her as a 12 week old puppy...who could resist this little darling?? Jodi went on to her career in the Show Ring and made us very proud when she earned her Championship as a young dog. Feisty and vocal, even to the end, Jodi always remained an elegant lady. Pictured below are 3 generations of Jodi's Devinwood family: from the left, Jodi (at 11 years) with her daughter “Murphy” (at 6 years) and Murphy's son “Sully” (at 7 months).

We'll always miss her unmistakable presence here and she'll never be forgotten. Rest in Peace sweet girl.

3 Generations of Devinwood

(August 19, 1987 - May 28, 2000)
We are deeply saddened by the loss of our resident Shetland Sheepdog "Rascal". We are ever so thankful for the many wonderful years of love and companionship he provided us. Rascal was a constant fixture in our household and never ceased to amuse us with his antics. We'll miss his persistent tapping on the arm for morsels of food at the dinner table; we'll miss his bouncing off doors closed in front of him; we'll miss his leaping at the window to attack thunder; we'll miss his holding our largest male Collie at bay by grabbing and holding his rear leg, but most of all we'll miss having that cute little face in our lives.

We've always loved this adorable little guy dearly, and he will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace little buddy.

"Madeline" (Twin Oaks Prototype x Twin Oaks Lady Slipper, Breeder: Mary Benjamin) . She was awarded a Major Reserve at her first show at six months of age and has two Specialty Best in Sweeps to her credit. Madeline is an important part of our breeding program and has produced 2 of our Champions, "Trevor" and "Wyatt." who can be seen on the Champion Offspring page.

Congratulations to "Star" (Ch. Marnus Golden Ruler x Ch. Overland Tattletale, Breeders: Chip & Pat Atkins) our newest Champion at Devinwood!!
