Title: Friendly Sheepdog/family pet needing a home
Post by: ashleyandmillie on June 01, 2018, 08:47:16 am
Hi,

Wondering if anyone with sheep is looking for a sheepdog and a family friend? I work over 900 ewes and my little sheepdog friend Mist is struggling to cope with so many sheep !

She is a lovely natured rough skinned bitch at 2 years old, black and white collie. She rides on the bike and in the tractor and is keen on sheep. Although, when 200 hundred face her with lambs, she doesnt have the power to move them. She knows her stop command and her that'll do command. She would be much happier on a small holding with just a few sheep, not 900!

She is a pleasure to have around the yard.

Based near Hexham/Kielder/Bellingham. She is priced at £100 or Nearest Offer.

Contact Ashley on 01434240623 or 07415657988. I dont pick up voicemails, so do keep calling.

Thanks

Ash

She sounds lovely, I wish you were closer.

I keep coming to not-look at this!


I may have a job situation change that may need a sheepdog. Or at least justify one, almost. Can't make any commitments yet though.


How is she away from sheep? Can she handle pet life, or very part-time sheep work?

I rang up about her a few days ago. I believe she's been taken.
