8 mo. old Jules grew into the most amazing young working collie. She was a slow developer, but when she turned 8 mo., things changed. Seriousness, purpose, focus and style. Jules is a strong, gutsy and pushy pup with muscular style, always in motion, and a sweet temperament. Compliant and dutiful, and not afraid of my growls and barks, she just keeps coming on, taking my correction in stride. Jules looks SO MUCH like her grandmother, James McCloskey’s Becca, a contender for my favorite sheep dog of all time.

Jules is will join Tom on his sheep farm in Lyman, NH on Friday. Probably the best young working dog I have ever sold. It was a high bar to get me to part with such a fine youngster, but Tom, his farm and family checked all the boxes.

An unplanned mating produced outstanding young Jules
Choosing life over pregnancy termination resulted in 3 happy endings
A very pretty face


Off to her new life with Tom & family today in New Hampshire! Tomorrow, she will assist Tom in shearing sheep. Training starts on Monday!

A little nervous at first…
…but fine inside the crate
