Switch Kinetics of Soup — red & white working-line Border Collie at stud with Kate Clapperton's Rippletrix line in Sheffield. Born August 2018, Kennel Club registered under AVO3850001, from established ISDS working sheepdog pedigree via the Blades Meadows sheepdog line. Natural mating only, on suitable bitches, at the breeder's discretion (Rippletrix retains the right to decline a mating that would dilute the line). 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.

Working-line Border Collie from the Blades Meadows sheepdog line. Progeny profile and specific working record available on request; Kate keeps a full record of every pup produced from her line.

Vampire (Rippletrix Fire Starter, red & white, born August 2023) is Switch's daughter by Fusion — a Welsh working-line bitch Kate brought into Rippletrix as one of the kennel's three foundation lines — and now competes at agility across the UK. Switch's most recent son, Rippletrix Hell Raiser (born February 2026 by Zombie, Rewind's daughter), continues Kate's line-crossing programme that pulls Switch's Blades Meadows working sheepdog blood into the Fellspirit show-line. Every pup produced from Switch 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.

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 and results displayed on the Kennel Club register under registration AVO3850001. As a Veterinary Physiotherapist Kate assesses puppies for orthopaedic soundness at the point of leaving her yard.
