Tess's owner had intended to mate her to a golden retriever but Tess had other ideas and went down the road to where Shep lived, hopped over the fence to him. As the owners were good friends they decided to let the mating stand and so the puppies were born.

Decker changed my life completely. I went to places I never thought I'd go and I met people I had never dreamt of meeting. After we won Crufts I got the chance to mate Decker to a golden retriever called Celeidh and so the family of Coltrievers began and I never ever dreamt it would still be growing and that so many of the male dogs would resemble my lovely boy. I was just so so lucky to have Decker and I was absolutely devasted when he died aged twelve from cancer of the mouth.
