Description
Ghost of the Sniggy Snax — black & white dual KC and ISDS-registered working Border Collie at stud with Kate Clapperton's Rippletrix line in Sheffield. Born June 2021. Dam-brother to Dallas Zed Ride the Slide (both by Belle, ISDS 359453; different sires) — the Rippletrix option for breeders wanting a related-but-not-identical pedigree to Dallas. Strong ISDS working sheepdog line with International Supreme Champions across the five-generation record. Natural mating only, on suitable bitches, at the breeder's discretion. Kate is a Veterinary Physiotherapist and prioritises orthopaedic conditioning in every pup produced from her line. Stud fee £1,200 or the equivalent of a bitch puppy from the resulting litter, by agreement. Enquiries direct to Kate at kate.rippletrix@gmail.com.

Performance
Working-line Border Collie from an exceptionally concentrated Int Sup Ch pedigree, sharing the Belle dam line with Dallas Zed Ride the Slide. Progeny profile and specific working record available on request; Kate keeps a full record of every pup produced from her line.
Proven progeny
Ghost is Rippletrix's youngest working stud (born June 2021) and his own direct progeny record is developing as his first pups mature through their careers. His Belle dam line runs through Mari (ISDS 329372) — the same dam-line grandmother as Freak (Freak Out at My Love Bunny), whose March 2026 litter by Hilltop Zak placed three pups to agility homes and three to working homes. That family-line consistency across generations is the strongest early indicator of what to expect from Ghost's own progeny. Every pup produced from Ghost is fully health tested to the recognised working-Border-Collie panel (hips, elbows, eyes, CEA, TNS, CL, MDR1, IGS), BVA eye tested and BAER tested before leaving the yard. Kate keeps a full record of every pup produced from her line.
Health testing
Full BVA hip and elbow scoring, annual eye certification, and DNA panel screening across the recognised working-Border-Collie panel (CEA, TNS, CL, MDR1, IGS) held on file. Specific scores displayed on the Kennel Club register under registration AZO917415 and via the ISDS register under OO/386300. As a Veterinary Physiotherapist Kate assesses puppies for orthopaedic soundness at the point of leaving her yard.
