The legions of fans of Leah Gardner’s stunning unique animal art includes Ceri Rundle – CSJ’s founder and internationally renowned Border Collie breeder, trainer and trials Champion.
Here’s what Leah had to say on Facebook about the picture of Bwlch Hemp with sheep that she’s just done for Ceri …
“This piece is a personal one as I did it for a person who has helped me so much in the past years. She has been hugely supportive in both my own training but also the rehabilitation of the foster dogs I’ve taken to help.
“Bwlch Hemp was an incredibly talented dog and with Ceri’s (@csj_dogfood) help they became the team to beat in the trials world. I wanted to draw a picture to commemorate this. Ceri asked me to ‘Leah’ it, so I hope you all like the final result.”
She then couldn’t resist doing a second picture, and said, “Sometimes, when a client sends you a whole batch of photos for reference, you fall in love with the dog who isn’t the subject - I snuck this in as I couldn’t resist …this is Breka - Ceri’s trials girlie (@csj_dogfood).”
No end to the talent – art is a very recent interest – Leah’s mum has a rescue (Many Tears Rescue) so she has always worked in and around it plus teaches agility and helps with aggression problems whilst also competing in flyball and clever dogs.
Ceri said, “Leah’s amazing artwork speaks for itself and equally amazing is that Leah simply doesn’t realize how talented she is!”
