collie stud

[jigsaw 11,899]

was chatting to a mate yesterday and informed him i PTS my kelpie x last week and i was thinking of looking for a replacement in time ,,he was telling me of a neighbouring farmer friend that has a working collie ,,herds sheep off the hill alone and works cattle as well..he then told me the same man lamps with the collie too and it has in the past caught and KILLED  fox single handed ..he has attended lots of digs where the terriers were excavated and they let the collie draw the fox  and it finished the job...he has caught rabbits in the pitch dark,,when out with the owner and hunts cover after birds or fur ...surely you couldnt find a better stud for a 1st x..and i have a greyhound bitch due to break in the next month or so and it got me thinking ...what do you guys reckon ,,any minuses that you may envisage

Sounds like a decent opportunity to possible get yourself a decent pup. If that's your thing then go for it.

goats ...lol..im getting a pair of ferrets in a few weeks and i could do with a decent dog to compliment the team ...just havent been without a pastoral bred dog in 10 years and will keep up the tradition as long as i can i think..plus the wife misses Taz so a repacement might be nice for her
