"Thor". The litter mate to "Storm".
The Handy/Huntaway side of the litter.
Not classic but should be a very useful Kuri. I didn't try him on cattle but I think that will be his forte'.
The instruction was "Voice Command" only. Same as Storm.

The other double, up from the "Naki".
"Storm". A B n T heading bitch.
Her bro', a Woolly Huntaway. WTH.
Bit of, "By the gate, out of the back paddock" breeding. That's only one of the same litter. Interesting.
Very popular young lady.
Very pleased with finished product.
Instructions were "Voice only".

Another Dog-gon.
This one Tui. !5 months. I am not privvy to her Breeding, but a lovely young Huntaway.
Note to self! Do not try to reflect a dogs ability in a video, straight off the chain. Tui very wayward on her whistle stops. Much improved by the time she got on the Bus. Gone down to South Canterbury for a lucky young man.
A Lincoln Uni. student and man does that turn the clock back for me. OMG!!!

A local school gala, fundraiser. I was asked to demo for this lil' country school but most of the City also had a day off by the looks.
This is our Rescue Dog, Blossom, that the CEO didn't want "anything to do with" as a 12 week old pup. Til she saw her! Til I trained her etc..
Pure Bred 3 y.o. with Scottish and Welsh Bloodlines. Embryo import.

ROCK. The other half of the Naki family. A class act and very keen to work with me. I was going to swap him but didn't have any B n W mutts around.

The first of a duo that traipsed up from the Naki. This is Peggy. Her Bro Rock and her both station bred so a tad better than "outa here" by "later".
The owner stipulated only Voice commands. Hence the runs are short and sweet. I would rather keep my vocals in place but I do as I am required.

SKY. Well yes. She is looking a very useful Huntaway BUT....I gave the Glenfiddich a freek'n good bash to get her here.
As she matures she will become a quality Bitch.
The Video operator was distant, because the Whaka wind was running a train thru the lens. Whistle and all.
Learning all the time scenario. The owner of her this Bi***es brother had a real job working him back to her voice and a plastic whistle when he came home.
I can't do much about the female voice but I went half good and bought a plastic whistle to adjust the dog for back home.
Yep! Swahili to the Bitch, but I smell a hint of progress.

SCOUT: It took a while longer than expected for me to get him running. Maybe the "Bloke" vs "Shiela" voice.
You may recall me talking about this ladies Huntaway I trained, that I thought was special.
I mentioned this to her Boss.
"It should have been with the price she paid as a Pup".
As my ol' man would say, "Ya can't beat breeding". AND "By the way. You're going back"!!!

With any luck my endeavours with CASH are shown below.
As previously mentioned here, CASH would have been one of the most traumatised dogs I have ever been asked to train.
I questioned the owner but his demeanour didn't support him being the culprit.
As per the video, this frightened kennel hugger has trained into a top heading dog. From what I gather CASH has moved owners and I wish him all the kindness he deserves.
