Buddy was the first born in Skye's first litter and is so like her is so many ways, we have many almost identical photos of him doing exactly the same things Skye got up to as a pup. Generally he takes most things in his stride and has the sweetest temperament and I've no doubt that we made the right choice in keeping him. Every day he makes me laugh with his antics, he's the first dog we've kept and although he is just like a naughty little boy at times he really has a heart of gold and such a happy smile.

He's so easy to train and picks new ideas up very quickly - which isn't always a good thing! He is our Training School's demonstrator and has already helped some nervous dogs become more relaxed around other dogs. He's excelling in his agility training and is confident at going forward on all pieces of equipment. His stride is so long we will be concentrating on grid work for a while so he can learn to pace himself.

He's very affectionate and adores his Mum and Granny and plays for hours with them. He loves everyone and is very sensitive to your mood, putting his head on your knee and looking up at you when he knows you're sad.

We are so proud of our 'Little Budster' and are confident that he shows our commitment to breed versitile border collies that are capable of doing any discipline. He has been placed at every Show he's attended so far, including a Best Puppy and a qualification for Crufts 2012. He's also qualified for Border Collie Puppy of The Year 2011 at his first championship show. All this even though standing still is not really his thing! We cannot wait to start his agility career late in July 2011, watch this space!!

All but one of Buddy's littermates were sold to homes where they will be trained to a discipline and we look forward to hearing about their progress. See them here >>>

Buddy will be offered at stud - please contact me for more information.
