ASTRA BREAGHA I.S.D.S. No: 00-324552
Breagha is out of our super star Mist who was registered on Merit wth the ISDS.
Breaghas sire is our own Astra Dale who is our successful trials dog and main work dog on the farm.
Gourgeous nature, very fast and willing to please
Natural ability on sheep.
She is very easy to work, will work for anyone, gets the job done,
but has a super off switch inherited from her father Astra Dale.
Breagha lives near Wem in Shropshire and works on a sheep farm with around 400 ewes.
She has come back to us for a litter now and then.
So she has the best of both worlds as she adores puppies but also loves to work sheep and
have her humans to herself, not having to share them with other dogs.
This will be Breagha's last ever litter,
she is already one of our best breeding bitch for natural easy to train sheepdogs and fantastic loving nature with an off switch.
We have other bitches just like her looking for working foster homes on breeding contracts.
We will be looking for special foster breeding homes for at least one of these puppies, ask us about our breeding and stud contracts.
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 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.
