BEN I.S.D.S. No: 00/305219 Ben the Bear is four years old. He has been placed in Open trials and has appeared on the Scottish sheepdog Trials program on TV.   Ben works with a contract shepherd in the hills of East Ayrshire, helping to shepherd over 10 000 sheep. He is a small but powerful worker with loads of stamina and willing to please. 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   He is a half cousin to my own Astra Dale (their mothers are litter sisters) 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.   CEA normal by DNA test TNS normal by DNA test  IGS (B12 Deficiency) DNA Normal by DNA test Hip Scored: 4:5 Total 9   These puppies will be similar to Prada's litter last year sired by Astra Dale PEDIGREE of Ben 00/305219 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

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

Book a puppy 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

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 the best choice of puppies at 7 - 8 weeks od age you will need to place a deposit as soon as possible,

but not before,

have agreed that you may purchase one of my very 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.

These pups showed such a great interest when I was moving sheep in the yard

for de-worming and checking before the rams were put out

so l decided to see what they would do on the sheep in the big field

normal I would only take pups to sheep at around 10 weeks or older, so was very surprised and impressed with these very young pups ability
