Description
Roy is my pure bred blue merle border collie. He has a brilliant nature and is always happy to see everyone - people, children, other dogs, brilliant with livestock etc. He's a huge softie and has a lovely temperament. Roy is truly an all rounder and is used to busy environments, we go on buses/trains/car/ been to cities all over and even festivals and gigs, he always behaves himself and is a great pub dog. He loves going to the beach, camping trips and exploring on big hikes with us and of course playing with his dog friends and his toys. No neorotic collie behaviours, he just takes it all in his stride.
Work wise Roy has a great work drive and will happily work all day on the farm and do anything asked of him and use his own initiative too. He's not daft and not got too much eye, keeps the sheep moving nicely and will stand up to anything, amazing in lambing time, in the pens and up the moor and got a great off switch.
He's got typical collie brains and trainability and I like to do all sorts with him, lots of obedience as he is like a sponge, he even models for a dog life drawing class sometimes! He's nice and calm in the house, I dont have to keep him entertained at all hours, fine being left at home, he's never been any bother even when he was a puppy. I bred Roy myself and I have his mum, Peggy who is my epilepsy service dog (roys future job when she retires) and she also works sheep. He has a long line of working border collies on both sides and his dad is ISDS/KC registered red and white dog Cranbeck Marley.
Roys offspring are getting a great balance of working ability and pet suitability, they would all make fantastic working dogs or extremely loyal companions.

All health tests are clear, happy to show these on request, he is a carrier for cia (collie eye anomaly) which doesn't effect him or any pups, but does mean he will have to go to bitches who are clear.
Good temperaments only, most breeds welcome, no merles or cryptic merles as this can lead to double merle puppies.
