Puppies will be ready to go to their new homes 31st August 2014 ..................................................... Ready for our new homes NOW - we have been vet checked with clean bill of health on Friday 29th August.

ASTRA DALE I.S.D.S. No: 00/294446 This is his fourth litter - he is almost 7 years old   We are hoping to compete in the Scottish Nationals this year. 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 to see what we mean CEA normal by DNA test TNS normal by DNA test  IGS (B12 Deficiency) DNA tested Normal Hip Scored: 7:6 Hip Score: both parents 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. His "Off Switch" is very pronounced 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 lamging dog PEDIGREE of ASTRA DALE 00/294446 Health information on pedigree may not be up to date (please ask us for the updated version when you enquire) .   Click here to veiw album with Iphone or Ipad       DALE has his own Video Playlist with a few videos done whilst he was learning to become a sheepdog We have hundreds more of our hero doing his daily work, but no time to edit and upload in small enough files. You may even see him in Biddy's video since one of his jobs is to hold the sheep for the youngsters

ASTRA JIGSAW I.S.D.S. No: 298975   Jigsaw (Jiggly as she is never completely still) when not "Switched Off" has a very fun loving character, eager to please you and quick to learn. a good "Off Switch". She is noise "Happy" meaning that she is not fearful but rather reactive and tends to bark and chase noise - this is a learnt behaviour.   Jiggly is the mother of Astra Smoke (by Astra Alfie -sire of Taff) Smoke is showing huge potential as a sheepdog and will probably make a good trials dog for a novice handler as he is easy to handle.   Jigsaw is also the mother to Astra Neo of Lynn Woods. Jigsaw as a working dog Jigsaw is a very stylish dog on the sheep, easy to handle and natural balance. Jigsaw is an ideal dog for Students to handle when we hold our Sheepdog and Handler training courses, as she is quite natural though tends to have a bit of eye which usually makes her easier to stop.     TNS normal by DNA test  IGS (B12 Deficiency) DNA tested Normal DNA "Carrier" for CEA therefore all puppies MUST be DNA tested if you are wanting to breed. If not wanting to breed then there is nothing to worry about as these puppies will never be affected by CEA since one parent (ASTRA DALE) is tested DNA "normal" for CEA.   Jigsaw has never been to the vets for anything other than routine vacinations.   PEDIGREE of Astra Jigsaw 298975   Click here to veiw album with Iphone or Ipad     PEDIGREE of Astra Jigsaw 298975 Health information on pedigree may not be up to date.

to purchase a puppy from this litter or to ask about any other puppies.

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

It is human nature to select a puppy 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.

Just because a puppy is not marked as Sold does not mean that it is still available. Puppies are marked SOLD on the website once the choice has been agreed with the new owners according to the character of the puppies (and not by their Colour or Coat) and a deposit has been received. This is usually done at 7 to 8 weeks of age.

BECAUSE

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 the 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, and by 7 weeks of age I will have a fair idea of each pup' s character.

Therefore we make final selection between 7 to 8 weeks of age.

Regular photo updates (we try to do this once every week to ten days) and also try to include some regular video. Video's are ALWAYS placed onto my YOUTUBE page before being placed onto the website, please subscribe to YOUTUBE and make sure your settings allow for all video updated to be emailed to you. (check your spam email folder too)

Look forward to receiving your choices in order of preference.

If you want a choice of puppies at 7 - 8 weeks od age you will need to place a deposit as soon as possible once I have agreed that you may purchase one of my special puppies.

I reserve the right to refuse to sell you a puppy if, I do not think you will give them a suibable home.

I may also want you to supply references from your vet, dog training clubs etc. to help me decide on your suitability

Please read our page Book A Puppy NOW ! to see how our application process is done.
