Troy - we call him Roy - was one of Angie's main work and trial dogs. He is a tremendous worker on the hill and is always enthusiastic. He is a dog that can be relied on for even the toughest of jobs, and he is an excellent dog at lambing time. Roy loves working on the hill. He is terrific over difficult terrain working sheep quietly but purposefully.

Roy is easy to train, and always gives his best. He is excellent to command, even from a long distance. He is a very good outrunner and is a good shedder. He has recently started learning the International shed and has been a quick learner of this. Roy is the type of dog that does not upset sheep.

Roy loves to please and is a very loyal dog. He is totally bombproof with children and given half the chance, he'd go home with any child who let him jump in the car.

Roy started competing in trials in late 2007 and finished 2nd, 6th, 7th and 8th in his four nursery outings. He stepped up to Open competition in March 2008 and has since had several placings including a second to Bobby Dalziel's Spot. Recently Roy won his first novice national trial. Roy loves hill trials the best with their bigger outruns. He qualified to run in this year's Welsh National and is pointed up for the next two years. However, Roy has now been sold and his new trial fields will be in Europe. We wish Roy and his new owner all the very best success. He is missed dearly by us!
