I know a shepherdess who has one and its her main dog. It's thoroughly devoted to her and a decent worker. Darbo I think you had a x of this type? Atb Quote Link to post

Phil Lloyd 10,736 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hi Chicken Man,..I grew up around these types of herding dogs, plus a whole lot of other,.. miscellaneous curs,... Nowadays, I only do a bit of rabbit catching and mole trapping,..so would have no need of such animals... But,..I cannot forget them...or my early life with them.... 3 Quote Link to post

Chicken_man 1,651 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Oh yes, good droving dogs, especially in the days gone by. Mainly used for driving cattle and sheep, some big distances too. Phill /darbo, I considered this cross. Thanks for your replys Atb 1 Quote Link to post
