Sire Vin has consistently produced progeny with long outruns and a natural tendency to sit off stock, making them much more versatile dogs to work. A taller, athletic dog, Vin contributes endurance and stamina. Dam Pria has shown a combination of traits from both parents. A medium/strong eye from her dam and a natural cover and desire to fetch from her sire. Pria is a stunning girl, winning Puppy of Breed at Sydney Royal, and Junior Bitch at Melbourne Royal. Esme is turning into a real prodigy, competing at an official yard dog trial as a 1yo, completing the entire course, posting a score and beating several working kelpies. Esme has already won a High In Trial in ANKC sheep herding, and showing some good cow skills as well. Esme was shown at the Victorian Specialty in baby puppy, winning the class. Her critique follows and is very acurate. These pups were bred for athleticism and to have the capability to work all day and cover great distances. Judge Sue Scholes - 4 month old red speckle bitch. Finer head but still in balance with the body. Dark eye, good ears. Level top line. Like a little more bone. Height to length correct. Moved well. Promising pup.
