Upland Roy (RED) I.S.D.S. No: 335105
Red and white Rough Curly coated Dog.
Litter brother to trials winner Upland Cap
Red is in full training
First litter born 25th September 2017.
Fantastic nature, with an off switch.
But beware, if he thinks there is work to be done, you have to be awake,
as this man is also a workaholic especially with sheep.
I purchased RED (Upland Roy) but I have two Roy's a very common name, in the summer.
He was part trained. I am finishing his training and he will join our team to hold up for young dogs, and
mayby do some trials if I ever get the time.
As a work dog he is strong, pushy and powerful full of confidence.
He is good to command, stylish, with good pace and flanks.
As a pet/companion dog he is excellent, having a great "off switch" when there are no sheep around,
he gets on well with other dogs and takes everything in his stride, he is calm and bomb proof.
We love to show him off to visitors
We admire this dog so much that when we heard his mother was for sale,
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.
