We picked him up this saturday from just outside of Manchester (long drive!) and have spent the last couple of days getting to know him, I'm amazed at how quick he picks things up! He's so good natured too... Ringo has already shown him who's boss though... as expected He's sixteen weeks old, he's got a few winners in his past too! When we picked him up, the breeder showed us his auntie rounding up the sheep on command, It's given me a huge incentive to want to do agility with him, we're going to go to a couple of trials this year and see what it's all about Finn can do it, it's just a case of if I can keep up with him I feel a bit like I have a posh dog, I've got a certificate and a pedigree family tree sort of thing from the ISDS I keep saying *I* too, he was a birthday present for my wife, I just can't let go of him... neither can ringo.. or my niece... or my sister... I don't think Clare has got a look in yet!

Hi, Aye, his parents are both workers, while we were there we saw his auntie do some sheep rounding up, it was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen! He's got quite a few winners in his line, I can give you his ISDS number if you can trace it, otherwise, I've ordered a full 'family' tree from the ISDS which I will scan in when it comes, they look pretty informative though I don't know if it's just the breed (we had a BCx a long time ago who was near impossible to train.... although it was probably us, we've both learned a lot since her!) but Finn seems to pick up things so fast, we've (he has?) house trained him in one day, all we did was spend the first day together activly taking him outside when he showed the right signs and now he waits at the door, if no one sees him, he comes back and waits for us and walks back
