DNA "Carrier" for CEA
It is highly unusual for any other DNA testing to be done within the ISDS membership.
Unfortunately too, It is not yet standard practise for owners of ISDS registered dogs to Hip Score,
since the incedence of the disease is very low in the working bred dog
few owners are willing to subject their valuable working dogs to sedation to get the xray needed.
But to ensure we get the absolute best working bloodlines and keep our lines as diverse as possible
we still need to use these very special dogs regardless of their health testing status.
We will still guarantee these puppis for Hip Dysplasia, as per our puppy guarantee.
With the right training and handling,
this litter is expected to have the potential to reach the top in any performance sports |

JURA is out of my dear Astra Bute a daughter of
Bobby Hendersons Sweep and my foundation bitch Eryri Nan
Jura is a very sweet natured, Very loving girl, who just loves to play ball,
SHe has become a tugging monster, and will demolish any soft toy in seconds.
Check out a video secretly captured (Jura is camera shy) of her entertaining herself with a ball.
Jura (by Cheviot Joe - litter brother to Jamie and works in the Scottish Cairngorms with several thousand sheep)
Jura's mother is Astra Bute a daughter of Bobby Hendersons Sweep
and my foundation bitch Eryri Nan (winner of numerous open trials in the late 90's including being second by 5 points, in the Deerplay Hill Double gather Championships, with a horrendous pen (lost 9 points at the pen).
Jura's mother Astra Bute ran in just a handful of trials (I did not compete often for many years) placed several times in novice trials, she was a great hill dog, she would also back sheep in the race and load and unload trucks for me when I was in scotland.
This litter was not supposed to be born here in the UK, Jura had been sold abroad, subject to being mated to Pennant's Sweep, fortunately for me (as this is such an exciting paring) the sale fell through
leaving me with Jura heavy in pup.
This will be her last litter, she will be spayed and found a home on a smallholding as a helper and family companion.
Jura has an excellent "Off Switch"
As a Sheepdog she is highly trainable, though intense and with high drive on Sheep,
She is a good listner and eager to please.
She never did get fully trained, due to my health, but because she has natural balance and pace, she is still able to do most jobs if needed.
Jura is a very special dog whose main job has been to help teach students about body language and controling a young dog at sheep.
She is great as if they get it right she is perfect, but if they don't get it, then she runs rings around them but in no way does she endangerd sheep or student.
She has no grip or nastyness, it is a real shame that she did not get fully trained as like her mother and grandmother she would have easily made a hill and trials dog.
See below for a video of her working.
DNA "Normal" for CEA
DNA "Normal" for IGS
DNA "Normal" for TNS
Eye Test: Clear
Hip Score: 6:5 total 11 |

Potential Performance Sports Dogs for Agility or Herding
These pups will suit any type of Performance Dog sport but especially herding, they are bred to be champions
and only require the best handlers to bring out their potential.
I will be retaining two puppies from this litter for training as sheepdogs. |
Make Your Enquiry NOW !
to reserve a puppy from this litter or to ask about any other puppies. |
Please see the mother and father pedigree above
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

Please read "Our Puppy Guarantee" before you enquire about our puppies.

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.
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.
