I hope it all worked out wih Blue?  Does Sheepdog have him now??

we still have Blue but thanks to sheepdog we are in touch with someone who is assessing Blue next week to see if he's fit to train for work, if he is then this guy reckons he can find him a home so fingers crossed for a happy ending. One very useful of advice I did get was that I should consider getting a working dog that is going into retirement. One that will work when we need it to with our wee flock but will be happy for the most part to mooch around the place rounding up ducks etc...lol

great that things are looking up for Blue - good on you for taking the time. I was glad that Sheepdog joined the thread.  Understandable how stressful it has been and you wanting to do the right thing. Yes I have heard that older farm dogs  can be good  - as long as they are not like the one who i have - he had worked for 10 years and now he is with me says he has had enough!  no way he is going near those pet sheep! He wants to snooze in the sun - and fair enough,  he used to be a top worker! But seriously it could be a good idea.
