We do not trial many of our brood bitches as there is a limit to how many dogs you can keep

tuned up for trialing,& bitches are either on season,pregnant or rearing pups.But they must

work well at home as well as in the sale yards at real work to be used as a brood bitch.

I prefer male dogs for competition.

We will not keep or breed from a dog or bitch unless they will work well in yard & paddock.

With this criteria we can be sure of breeding dogs with all round ability.
