After much heart searching and research, I have decided to breed Nutella with a wonderful Border Collie named Zayn. We introduced them several times before breeding them. One of their "dates" was sheep herding together! Perfect for two Border Collies! They were finally bred on February 24, 25 and 26th, making their litter due around April 27th, 2016.
Zayn was bred by Kinloch Sheepdogs in Wales, and imported to Canada by Paula Reardon. He comes from all working dogs, that also compete in sheep herding trials. Some of these dogs have reached the International level. Zayn has been introduced to sheep and is a natural. Nutella has been on sheep and has a strong herding drive. Nutella and Zayn complement each other in conformation and temperament. Zayn is an outgoing sweetheart and handsome too!
Nutella has been my dream girl, moulding herself into anything I introduce her to, whether it be flyball, agility, disc dog, scent detection, sheep herding, skijoring, kicksledding, Diabetes research or therapy dog work, she is willing and excels at it.
Both are vet checked and healthy. Zayn's DNA testing is "normal" and preliminary hip X-rays are "good".
We are looking forward to a future, healthy litter of Zayn and Nutella puppies. Those who will receive one of their puppies will have a wonderful package of potential!
