This little guy was heading off on the weekend to his new home but the buyer changed his mind. His loss may gain he looks like a ripper. Sired by the Yard dog of the year Gogetta Thor by a daughter of yard dog of the year and State Utility Champion Marionvale Chip. Fearless and confident pup in his first look at sheep.

Comb over was never a good look 🙄 Marionvale Hammer.

Marionvale Di pup, Marionvale Myff. Myff is 10 months old and being worked by her owner Anna at lessons this morning. Lovely shape and feel for her sheep and great distance off her stock.

9 month old Kipper on a single. Dogs with stronger eye can be difficult to communicate with when working small numbers. A single allows you to bring out that intensity and still ensure the dog is listening to your commands. Kipper is still early in his development and is not yet fully trained to commands.

7 month old Olboa Gin, granddaughter of Di, working a single. Light coloured dogs tend to draw sheep to Look at them, so it’s important they are comfortable on the head and are able to turn the sheep. A single sheep exercise can help develop some of those skills in the dog.

Kipper starting to get the idea of his stops and sides.

Kippers back in action after my trip east. Now 8 months old and continuing to impress.

Marionvale Doc, a Son of Marionvale Di by Just Buster. He took a while to show interest but seems to be getting more enthusiastic. I have always liked his temperament and outlook on life so was sure he would switch on and show promise. Some nice moves and shape.
