Spark is looking for her forever home, sadly not showing enough interest in sheep so needs a new family who can give her the time and attention she deserves. She is 10 months old, been brought up with kids and other dogs and has an absolutely super, fun loving nature. Only the best homes will be considered. Pm for info.

One year old part trained bitch for sale, nicely started and ready to start doing small jobs. Nice natured bitch, good with kids and other dogs, has some good breeding in her. She did the sheepdog demo with me at the county show, so has proved herself to be sensible and level headed. Sensibly priced for quick sale, transport can be arranged.

Ali had her pups today, bang on her due date she seems to have settled with 6, 3 dogs and 3 bi***es. She has done a super job of them and is a lovely mum. Fathered by Ian Sutherland's Cap dog who is a very promising son of Ricky Hutchinson's Jonah

Sutherland Show 2023, fantastic weather, fantastic crowd. Thanks to all the organisers, it takes a lot of work to put on an event this size, huge thanks to Gert van D**e for the loan of the sheep.

I finally have 2 minutes to myself to tell you about our first sheepdog demonstration at a show. A call went up on a sheepdog trial page that I am on looking for someone to do a demo at the Sutherland Show show, it's a bit out of my comfort zone really but I decided to go for it because most people there would never have seen a dog working so wouldn't be judging me half as harshly as I would judge myself. As it turned out we didn't have long to prepare for it because I already had a holiday in Perth booked with the kids so we literally drove up to Caithness on Friday to pick the dogs up who were being looked after by a friend, and then drove back to Brora for the night before heading to Dornoch the next morning. Ali hadn't seen sheep for over a week so it had potential to go a bit pear shaped as she can be a bit of a hot head,however other than finding the crowds a bit scary and not being quite sure where my voice was coming from (I was speaking into a microphone which was coming out multiple speakers) at the start she soon settled and worked really nicely. Once I got over my initial nerves I really enjoyed it and so I think did the audience, the girls behaved impeccably even when asked to be gate posts. I now have lots of ideas so am hoping we get asked back another year. Huge thanks to for looking after my dogs when I am away, for the loan and transport of the sheep and for giving me the chance.

I'm heading up to Shetland on Tuesday night and will take my clipping motor if there is anyone with small flocks needing their sheep clipped, please feel free to get in touch.
