Astra Dale is our Number ONE flock and trials dog.

He has the most amazing character and work ethic.

He is either chilling out totally relaxed or he is in FULL work mode.

see his photo album below to see what we mean

 

CEA normal by DNA test
TNS normal by DNA test 

IGS (B12 deficiency) normal by DNA test
Hip Scored: 7:6

both parents and several grandparents were also hip scored with very good hips
Elbow Scored: 0:0

Placed in Open sheepdog trials and winner of Local Lintrathen Sheepdog Trials 2012

 

A kind and willing nature extreemly loyal but will work for anyone, if I am not around.

His "Off Switch" is very pronounced, being very laid back in the home, yet when there is work needed

he can really deliver with no hint of giving up - and will produce tonnes of effort and more.

This dog has loads of power and brains for Hill work or yard work

Truly outstanding as a lambing dog

Preference will ALWAYS be given (where choice is available) to potential WORKING homes (herding or competition performance sports).

It is human nature to select on looks alone.

BUT it is through our considerable experience that we advise you to take into account the puppies character in the selection process;

because selecting the wrong character is much harder to live with than the wrong white markings,coat colour or coat length.

As we like to place pups to the right home by Character we ask you give us your choice of three puppies in order of preference. 

 

This is essential as we may well have several requests for the same puppy and we, of course, cannot dissect the puppy.

 

Your choices will always be considered and mutually agreed upon before final choice is made.

 

Character develops from five weeks of age and I will be looking closely at the pups to establish which in my opinion will make the best possible dog for your requirements,

 

I will tell you the character of each pup as it develops.

 

Puppies are marked SOLD on the website once the choice has been agreed with the new owners and a deposit has been received.

 

Regular photo updates (we try to do this once every week to ten days) and also try to include some video.

 

Look forward to receiving your choices in order of preference.
