[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1665151, member: 16453"] Here is my working dog team. Jedda, black Kelpie about 9 months. She wanted to work straight out of the box, has a good sense of knowing where the cattle are going to and will make sure she gets them all through that gate even if she does rush them a bit. Jedda was a freebie. No 2 Kelpie is Tilly, black and tan registered bitch 6 months of age. She has been joining in and working very well, has a good role model in Jedda. I will be weaning the calves next month so Tilly will get some intense yard work on a daily basis. Yes, she is dragging a lead at the moment, going through that silly stage where she doesn't want to be caught. No3 is Milly, Border Collie bitch 4 years. A bit of a story to Millie. She was a very disobedient and irrational young dog and she was disrupting my good male Kelpie Jed who I lost to a Dingo. My wife suggested we see if my brother in law Ray would like Millie as a companion dog, she was 2 yrs of age and didn't seem to be getting any better. I would not have given her away but Ray lived on a small acreage in Brisbane and I thought Millie would be a great dog for him, she is very affectionate. About 4 weeks ago we got a phone call to say that Ray had died suddenly from untreated heart failure he was only 66, Millie was with Ray for 2 days before Ray's body was found in the shed where he lived so Millie has a special place here now she was a great companion to Ray and was with him when he died. Since returning to the farm she has shown a lot of maturity with her work and I will often see her heading off cows hanging off their cheek and just puts herself where she is needed. I know the breeders said her mother did not come good until over 3 years of age, Milly is on track. And then there is Betsy. They are all very fit, with me all day every day following the quad bike or tractor over all areas of the farm which makes them very athletic dogs as they develop. Millie came back lacking fitness and a bit over weight but has trimmed down and is now as fit as the others. Somehow I think the order has been mixed up but I think you will work it out.
