Young Prospects

Tam

Tam came to me from Eileen Stineman by way of Hub and Alison Holmes. At 5 months old, he was all legs, ears and tail with a goofy grin and a happy outlook.

Since his arrival, he hasn't changed all that much, but is in training now, and showing some talent.

Next year's nursery prospect, he was a year April, 2012, and is looking very promising. Tam has speed, intelligence, is a keen listener and takes direction very well.

A son of Eileen's much used Don, Tam is out of Alba Lynn, granddaughter of Alaisdare Macrae's International Suprememe Champion and multiple USBCHA National Champion ##Nan, and USBCHA National Champion Ben.

 

 

 

 

 

Spot

Spot came to me at 10 weeks of age. He is a paternal grandson of Howard's Spot, a dog from which I've wanted a pup for a long time.

Howard's Spot was a Scottish Reserve Champion nursery dog with Bobby Henderson, 2nd to his full brother littermate, Tweed, owned and handled by the late Johnny Wilson. It is a very pre-potent line of dogs, and Howard's Spot, while never finding success on the trial field in the US, more than out-produced himself with his talented progeny.

At 5 months, Spot has had a turn in the sheep pen once. After a moments hesitation to size things up, he flanked right around to balance and did everything I could hope for from one so tender. Preferring to let my pups be pups for as long as possible, it will be a few months before he gets another go.
