If tears could build a stairway
And memories a lane
I’d walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again.

Rumor was our first sheltie, and with her began our love for the breed.
Although there are many many other Rumor grandchildren and great
grandchildren (through Fascination & Idle Gossip) in other kennels, we have
shown here the influence she has had here at Highledge.
Although Rumor was too big to compete in the show ring, and there were many
who questioned why we would keep, and breed a bitch who was not worthy of
being shown, we always loved her irreplaceable pedigree, and the fabulous
temperament that came with it. We purchased her as a show puppy from the
Alfenloch Kennels when she was just ten weeks old. She was one of the last
shelties bred at Alfenloch. Many years later Alfenloch would lease back from us
her daughter Fascination, and her grand-daughter Fanfare
For us she produced two Champion daughters, Ch. Highledge Fascination, who in
turn produced, Ch. Highledge Fanfare, whose son Ch. Highledge Headmaster,
gave us two wonderful daughters. BPIS Highledge Look Who's Talking, and
Highledge Whimsical. Whimsical went on to produce BPIS BPISS Ch.
Highledge On A Whim who now has FOUR beautiful Champions, and BPIS
Highledge Look Who's Talking, produced the lovely BPIG Ch. Highledge
Tapestry Gift of Gab who in turn has given us Ch. Highledge Sweet Justice.
Through her other daughter, the Group winning Ch. Highledge Idle Gossip, we
have the gorgeous BISS Ch. Highledge SomethingToTalkAbout, who has produced three outstanding
daughters. They are BPIS Highledge Look Who's Talking, Highledge Talkin' Tradition and Multiple(4 ) BPIS
Ch. Highledge Talkin’ Out Loud, who have all proven themselves in the show ring, and the whelping box.
Highledge Talkin' Tradition is the dam of Ch. Highledge Irish Cream ROMC who is making his mark as a sire
both here and at other kennels with 18 Champions to date. BPIS Ch. Highledge Talkin Out Loud is the dam of
BPIG Ch. Highledge Jagged Edge ( 2 Ch’s) and BPISS BPIS Ch. Highledge Wild Irish Rose, who is now proving to
be an excellent producer with three Champions from her first litter, including our Ch. Highledge Audition. (now
the dam of her first Champion from her first litter)
Thank you so much Rumor for the legacy that you leave. I see your smiling face when I look at your family. I
look for you in your favourite corner, I hear your raspy bark. You will be with me always...... in my mine, my
heart, and my soul.
We are so lucky to have had you in our lives.
