I will be keeping two pups from this litter for training as sheepdogs and therefore final selection will not be made until 7 weeks of age. Please register your interest as soon as possible or your risk loosing out on the best pups suited to your requirements.

 

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. J

 

Though it is human nature to select on looks alone through considerable experience we advise that the puppies character should be taken into account in the selection process as the wrong character is much harder to live with than the wrong white markings, coat colour or coat length.

 

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. 

 

Preference will ALWAYS be given (where choice is available) to potential WORKING homes.

 

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.

 

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