In America, Felice produced a litter of six puppies by AM CH "Kitleigh Knickerboker" of which three are now champions and one is obedience, agility and herding titled: CH Barksdale Persona, CH Barksdale Rosewood Teak & CH Barksdale Azalea Hills Beau CD.NA.NAJ.HT.VA.
CH Azalea Hill's Barksdale Beau is already the sire of Champion offspring in Ch Azalia Hill's Alycin HT PT, CH Azalia Hill's Dark Dreamer HT, Ch Azalia Hills Angela & Ch Azalea Hills Little Charm .

Felice's sister is the renowned"CH Barksdale Blush ROM" (AKA - Phyllis) who is the only bitch in the history of the breed to be breeder/owner/handled to a Number One ranking in the USA. Dam of seven champions, she is also the only ROM bitch to achieve this. She has two all-breed Best In Shows, was BOS at the Collie Club of America National Specialty in 1995,and has two CCA Awards of Merit. She was Best of Variety at Westminster KC in 1996 and has two WKC Awards of Merit. Her daughter, Ch. "Barksdale Evening Shade" is the dam of Ch. "Twin City The Great Divide" - (AKA Bridge), CCA Winners Dog 1996."
Bridge is well on his way to ROM status as a sire in America.

The bloodlines behind Felice are predominantly the legendary Tartanside family. Her pedigree also boasts the cream of America's producing families in Lick Creek, Hi Vu, Glen Hill, Pebblebrook, Parader, Ravette, Twin Creek & Napier. These are some of the most sought-after and successful families in America today and are being exported world wide. Felice's blood-brother Fin CH BH "Barksdale Storm Song" is currently one of the top winning & producing dogs in Finland today.

CH Barksdale Patina is quite clearly one of the best-credentialed show and breeding Collie(rough) bitches to ever be imported into Western Australia and, arguably, Australia.
