Our Dogs

We  have been raising, training and working border collies for well over 25 years now. We have both competed in top level sheepdog trials in the past but with our move to Alberta the trials has taken a background position as we spend our time now rebuilding our farm. All our dogs come from top working UK, particularly welsh lines. They are capable of doing a job and do it well. We always have a number of stud dogs available and breed a few litters each year. We will raise and train some young dogs  to sell once they are started.
All our dogs are registered, eye tested, most are hip tested and are all guaranteed to work. We will assist in training of the dog to ensure that it becomes a functional work dog. We offer training courses and  clinics.
You are always welcome to come and visit and see our dogs working.

Lad is a diligent worker, always focused. He has balance, style and determination. He is a natural dog and an excellent outrunner. This dog can do anything. He works sheep and cattle. I do the occasional sheepdog trial  now and again with him. Lad was imported from Wales form one of the best breeders in Wales, Jeff Hudd of the Tysswg line of dog.
Zac is a wonderful dog and not getting utilized enough on our farm. Zac has run in the Welsh National before we imported him. Due to our commitments on the farm we do not have enough time to trial him. He is very well trained and can do ALL the sheep work. He listens to everybody, will gather sheep 800 m away, he can drive, shed, works on whistles and voice. He is a good dog and needs to trialed and worked more
Sheila is a nice dog to work. She is fast and keen. She listens fairly well and likes to do a lot of practical work. She has done some beginners trials. Sheila is one of the main work dogs on our farm. She is homebred, however both her parents were imported from Wales.
Kim is homebred, she  will start her training this summer.
Sheego is  biddable bitch that uses a lot of movement to move her stock. She is easy to train and handle, is friendly and enthusiastic. She is a good work dog, upstanding in her manner of working  sheep.
Streak was bred by us, her sire is a dog we imported from Wales and he lives now in the Netherlands. Streak likes the cows and her trainig with both the cattle and sheep will continue.
