Skyemoor Farm
English Shepherds
Sire: Blacksheep's Finn McCool

Date of birth: April 3, 2006
Registration: ESCR, UKC
Hip screen: Penn-HIP 0.39/ 0.39
MRD1: Normal/Normal

Description: Finn is a happy, confident fellow who takes everything in stride and is always looking to help his people with whatever task might be be at hand. He is extremely agile and fast. He has a natural tendency to gather, and is very good at rating his stock. Finn is protective of hearth and home yet very outgoing and people oriented. He's a resilient and unflappable boy, a real "thinker", with a sharp intelligence. He takes special delight in children of all ages and is quite the snuggler

Pedigree:
Blacksheep Lady x Blacksheep Rooster
Dam: Skyemoor's Bonnie

Date of birth: March 27, 2005
Registration: ESCR
Hip screen: PennHIP 0.43 / 0.52, no DJD
MRD1: Normal/Normal

Description: Bonnie is eager to work, strives to please, and has the all-important "off switch" often missing in the higher strung herding breeds. Her shepherding chores include rounding up the sheep, moving them from paddock to paddock, keeping them from crowding the shepherd at feeding time, and chasing wayward sheep back inside the fence. Her other farm chores include keeping stray dogs away, chasing off buzzards (especially at lambing time), keeping deer away from the fruit trees, and keeping the mice population at zero.

Pedigree:
McCall's Ringo x McCall's Gabby
Litter/ breeder comments : 8 pups born April 15. We are seeking continued balance that emphasizes the important working areas of biddability, herding instinct (field and stockyard), guarding instinct, family companionship and protection, intelligence, temperament, and agility. Our preference is to place these pups in homes where their working traits will be realized, though homes that provide sufficient exercise, active engagement, and care will also be considered.
