Glen with sheepdog puppies - these are not his own!

Glen loves other dogs and puppies. These are not his but they're just as welcome.

Glen - 238575

Date of Birth: 5th March 1998

Following an enviable sheepdog trials career, Glen's in retirement now.

Before he came to us in January 2003, Glen had won Nursery trials with his previous owner.

Once the initial settling in period was over, Glen and Andy were successful in quite a number of trials and the pair won the Moreton Morrel Novice & Stoke Bliss Farmers Championships.

 

Sheepdog Training

'Come Bye and Away' - an excellent introductory DVD for beginners in the sheepdog training world. More info - or more DVDs.

Glen's working style and control of sheep is superb

Mr Style! When Glen was penning at sheepdog trials, the crowd would go quiet.

Achievements:

Glen's finest hour was at a large and very popular open sheepdog trial near Malvern (Worcestershire UK). Running as a Novice at around 10 am, he went into first place overall and led the field by a big margin.

He held 1st place all day but in the evening he was pushed into 4th place by some late-arriving international competitors.

Poor Glen had to make do with winning the Novice Class on that day but it was a tremendous achievement all the same.

When working, Glen knew how much power was required at exactly the rig ht time.

Skill:

Glen's working style and precision control of his sheep was superb.

When he was working, Glen knew exactly how much pressure to put on his sheep. He never startled them.

He had an admirable outrun - regularly gathering from over 500 mtrs without a hitch.

His driving was probably his greatest skill, but he also excelled at penning and shedding.

Since his retirement, Glen takes his stud duties very seriously!

Temperament:

At home, Glen's a pleasure to have around.

He's utterly trustworthy and probably best described as "a perfect gentleman".

In the five years he's been here, we have not seen him show the slightest sign of aggression - other than a growl to remind another dog that he's not keen to share his dinner!

Now that he's retired, Glen's only duty is as stud dog, so recently, he's amazed us by developing a passion for chewing bones and playing with puppies or toys!

Glen is off Scottish Team Member Davidston Cap 201111 (Mary Caul) and out of Gael 192892 (NG McEwan).
