Our dogs are all working sheepdogs, and, as a hobby, we also compete in sheep dog trials. We like dogs that have a brain, heart and courage, athleticism, speed, drive and enthusiasm, and a good temperament. While our dogs are working dogs, we try to give them a nice life too with runs in the forest, play time and time to hang out with us.
We love our dogs and are proud of their accomplishments on the trial field, but most importantly, we are proud of them for competently doing the job for which they were bred. You can read more about each dog below and on their individual pages.
