Just looking back. Had an enquiry about Lachie breeding. 2022. On this page.
Gary Denize: Spring II.
Now that is some dog. The person for whom I trained him, love to chat as to how he kicked on and if you trialled him. Thanks

18/07/2024

Just had to put this up. Well it still is about a dog! Just!
We bring our own cheerleaders.
Good to see Beaudin get a start this weekend. Good team huh?

My training team at mo. The B n W, B.Collie reckons she's a tad young for Mahi ( 6 months ) but older ones trucking well.

17/07/2024

Joe up from the "Naki'. Will need a firm hand but he has a good stop ("stand") and a good brain.
I have no doubt, with work and time, he will be a quality Kuri.

16/07/2024

I'm starting to get back into training.
Just got 1 at mo' but they're lining up.
To those BC lovers out there, there is a delightful BC song, called the "Border Collie Song" on You tube.
Very good summation of their nature.

09/07/2024

The dogs, Bree and Storm have grooved in with their new owners well.
Have a huntaway nearly there. Up from "The Naki", but has been real slow progress with my new ankle.
Video soon.

New boy on the block. 8 weeks.
Close cuzz to Pup sold for $1400 at auction Taupo, on friday 22/6.
I think there is a couple left at a sensible price.
Lineage as per Chief, who is here somewhere.

22/05/2024

And "WAIT, THERE'S MORE".! The next generation.
Same bloodlines as CHIEF.

BREE on Cattle.

08/04/2024

Have an enquiry for an over 2 year pooch for a dairy and dairy support block. Doesn't need to be flash but working sensibly.

05/04/2024

STORM on the "Hillocks" also. I am pleased with the lines he is running and his balance. (Need to buy me another farm. Yeah. Nah!)

05/04/2024

BREE off the flat and running the "Hillocks" well. She's is starting to trust that I have half a clue.

03/04/2024

I don't like to flood the dog market but I have an "ankle replacement" note in the tally book.
This is number 3: "Bree". CATTLE DOG.
I started training her as a Huntaway but took her past some sheep and she proceeded to "Strong Eye" them. She is working well under command, but very hard on sheep, unsupervised.
Very firm on cattle.

02/04/2024

New heading Dog "Storm", down the page

02/04/2024

This fulla came up to me from the S.I.
From a lady for whom I had trained the Mum a year so or gone.
I was reluctant to take on a young pup but this guy came through quickly. I think he is class act and is good enough to trial.
All yours.

13/03/2024

Chief again. This time, on the flat.

13/03/2024

Couple of Video's of the latest dog off the training regime.
This is Chief. Top breeding. He will be on Trade Me soon.

The Border Collie X that I put up., "free to good home" worked the sheep last evening. Was picked up today to go to its new home with retirement facilities.

06/01/2024

I have been given a Border Collie to train. It had been doing agility training with the lady owner but got surplus to requirements.
I wondered if it would be any be good on stock with its thousand years of Border Collie breeding.
But it appears to have been conditioned to NOT get close to sheep as it freezes in their company. De-sexed and the Registered owner can't fit it at home. It is FREE.
It has "short man syndrome" in that it thinks it is tough. It's not!

31/12/2023

Roy and Faith have both found there forever homes by the looks of it.🤞

19/12/2023

This came back from the new owner of Bear in the South Island.
"I'm bloody pleased with him. Very handy dog".
I was chuffed to hear the owners lady, has him working with her.
Now this could end in an interesting situation.
Been there. Done that! It was a good idea at the time eh!
I recently got a big hairy BC to sharpen up. I enquired if he was entire, 'cause I wasn't about to start rummaging about down there.
Anyway... He has been neutered.
That will explain why he drifts to MY wife. Obviously the lightening of his load was done by a bloke.

11/12/2023

I had an enquiry asking for a heading dog/bitch. I had zip, but Murphy dropped in. Anybody interested? Now have a Bitch, (Faith) and a Dog, (Roy), wanting a home. Vids? Close to this spiel.

02/12/2023

Been a bit quiet on the home front. Still have 5 dogs in training but all newbies bar Roy.
I have had 2 requests for Huntaways. An "Old" acquaintance wants a semi retired for small work and the other blast from the past is wanting a young Huntaway to train. If anyone can help give me a yodel.

17/11/2023

BEAR was having a real problem remembering that he was required to go square on his sides and come under the sheep. We now have a very handy dog.
Apologies for chainsaw racket.

Finally I have put a longer vid of ROY up. Roy was the dog that had had a traumatised background on his CV. Here he is getting twisted inside and out to get him working through 4 paddocks. He is gonna be a quality Kuri with a kind owner. He still gets a bit of brain freeze occasionally (like me) but his intelligence still shines through.

Bear. Circa 1/11/23. 2 years since he 1st came.

This is BEAR. Video from nearly 2 years ago. A dog I trained as a 12 month dog. He came back ?????? No idea. He seemed🤔 to do everything as a young dog. Lovely nature. For Sale. I'll just check out his ears and then all go to go. See 1/11/23 ear check vid, on here.

This fb thing gets the better of me. I seem to have vaporised the Video of KYLO. The Blue Merle Border Collie I was doing a Lineage check on. Anyhoo...She's back..... in vid only. Her new owner has fallen in luv.

"BOOTS". 18 months. Another vid of boots that I did off the phone this morning. Wanted to see how he was for distance. Some young dogs have what I refer to as "a ring of confidence". They will only go so far away from the Boss then get bashful. Boots has a benign lump on his elbow. The Vet has certified it as being inconsequential so he will definitely now be on trade me and "For Sale"

Quick vid of a Dog (ROY) unchained off a "Tree Kennel" and dropped off here. I have no idea why someone would traumatise a dog like this guy had been, when he arrived. It was a long way back for him though. He will need ongoing management but he would be in my pack. Have used him for shedding ewes and lambs.
