Astra Goose, Black and white, Male border collie
Astra Goose I.S.D.S. No: 00/307960

Goose is big, loyal, handsome and uncomplicated with a strong work ethic and play drive.

With a lovely easy going nature he is the perfect companion.

His innate love of tug games and tennis balls make him fast and eminently trainable.

He loves his food and would sell his soul for a piece of Cheese.

On sheep, he was a slow starter, mainly because of lack of exposure,

he is now a very natural, polite and easy

to handle dog, with plenty of presence,

looks and acts like an old fashioned type of dog.

If you are interested in breeding with your puppy,

you must advise us if you intend to breed

because any breeding must be seriously considered for many different reasons,

it is not just a case of putting two handsome well natured dogs together and hoping for the best.

 

Please read our artilcle

To Breed or not to Breed

 

Make Your Enquiry NOW !

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

 

Firstly, I as breeder may want to keep one of the puppies and as I want to work them on sheep, I will select my puppy not on the looks but on its character and how it learns and

 

reacts to certain situations and tests I may carry out.

 

Through vast experience I have found great success in choosing pups through this procedure so

 

we now 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.
