*** it’s been confirmed! Aron is the sire! *** Announcement!!
Dual sired litter
IMP ARON & IMP KEELAN x IS RAIN LILLY
Due Date: 12/22/2022**
Puppies will be DNA tested as soon as they are born to confirm sires. This is a dual sired litter that we expect to produce pups that are biddable and have smooth natural working styles. They should be naturally mindful of stock but able to handle both heavy and light stock with ease.
Rae :
This female has not yet proven herself on the trial field. Being a Covid puppy set us behind on training. However, once we got hooked up on sheep there’s been no looking back. She is proving to have a lovely natural pace and is just wonderful to watch work sheep with natural fluidity. She will also work poultry and geese.
She handles sheep with just enough grit to keep them moving but doesn’t unsettle them. She has confidence to spare. She will walk right up to a group of ram’s faces and hold her ground with out blowing up. She has proven to have nice, natural flanks, is starting on her inside flanks, and shows enthusiastic shedding ability. She is a quick learner. She’s been with Teri Rhodes for the last 60 days and in that time Teri has brought her further along then I was able to in the year I had spent with her working on just basics.
Which brings me to the next thing that I would like to highlight. Rae is a fantastic house dog. She lives with 4 dogs, 3 cats and the odd small fuzzy or scaly creatures we keep and easily integrated into Teri's household. She knows when she’s in the house that it’s relax time. You can often find her curled up somewhere snoozing or engaging Willow with a game of keep away with the toys. My 4 nieces ranging from 4-14 are around her constantly and she loves each of them. Because she was a Covid pup and did not get as much early socialization as I would have liked, she can be a bit reserved when first meeting new people but quickly becomes your friend.
Sire #1
IMP Aron :
He was imported by Gene Scheninger from Angie Driscoll and comes from the proven Kinloch dogs, a proven winning line of dogs. He has sired winning dogs across the pond. He continues to place in the top 100 in USBCHA Open dogs. His highest ranking at one point was 5th!
Aron is a wonderful dog, level headed and unflappable, and yet he has an infectious enthusiasm and contagious zest for life. When working he is extremely cool headed. He will walk into the face of sheep and hold a terrific amount of pressure with his quiet power. Being a kind dog to sheep, he easily 'makes friends' with sheep helping to keep them relaxed. Aron is always working with you and not against you, and is highly adaptable to any situation. Aronnis biddable and an easy dog to live with. Often times you can find him self entertaining with whatever he finds near by (his favorite toy is an empty plastic water bottle). However, ask him to fetch sheep and he's off for the task.
Aron’s puppies from previous litters are proven to be versatile working dogs. His one pup Kinloch Taz is proving to be a wonderful trial dog for Angie. His trial results so far are posted in the pictures.
