AS Price
Price is a tough, gritty dog with keen intelligence and a great desire to please. Power and heart are his over riding qualities and I've never seen him back down from, or, give ground to anything.
Well bred, he goes back to Pulfer's National Champion, *Dan, Jones' Welsh National Champion, #BWLCH TAFF and is double-bred to International Supreme Champion, Edwards' ##BILL and Thomas' ##CRAIG.
Price is a great out runner: confident, wide, and deep. He lifts sheep with authority and balances to such a degree that he can easily bring the wildest sheep to my feet. He was awarded the "Best at the Top" trophy at the 2005 Bluegrass Classic SDT for this particular ability. He excels at the pen where he will very quietly give you one confident step after another to accomplish the task. Kent Kuykendall called Price, "a career-maker," after judging him at the 2004 Soldier Hollow Classic where he once held the course record of 90 points.
Away from sheep his main concern is what's up with the cat and how much attention he can get from me. I consider myself blessed to have him.

Imported Taddymoor Mirk
Half-brother to Lad, the sire of 2009 International Supreme Champion, ##Dewi Tweed and a full brother to Richard Millichap's 2007 Reserve International Supreme Champion, Taddymoor Cap, Mirk is the newest addition to my kennel. Their sire, Ben, was Reserve at the International Supreme in 2003, had 1 other top 10 finish in that great event and was 5th at the 2002 world trial in Bala, Wales. Mirk's full sister, Taddymoor Jen was 11th at the 2008 Welsh National. With this exceptional line of dogs, Richard has represented Wales at the International Supreme 5 times in the last 6 years with 3 generations.
Off the Millichap's Welsh mountain farm, Richard considers Mirk to be the best dog that he's sent to the US. Half brother to my Imported Lad, Mirk is making the transition to US trialing easily and has taken to our range sheep with no trouble at all. Mirk is completely confident on his stock and more than willing to take direction with much more patience than you would expect from one so brash. I look forward to many years competing with this good young dog.
