I had a ‘spring update’ from Jullian who took Venti from the summer 2023 Clwyd Bob x Nel litter. Not all pups by the redoubtable Clywd Bob and the TFB Nel turn out to working dogs. Venti had a different kind of life ahead of him.

Venti continues to bring so much joy to my life just by being his wonderful self. He lives a spoiled and fulfilling life in Boston. 

He recently completed a dock diving class and loved it!! We are currently trying agility. It has been very fun trying out different activities with him. We are in no hurry to compete- Venti has already proven himself to be a skilled athlete, but he needs a bit more time to grow into himself. 

We ran into a Welsh gentleman today who crossed the street to say hello to Venti, and said he reminded him of the Border Collies he sees back home. He was delighted when I mentioned that Venti takes sheep herding classes. 

Most working collies would not thrive in an urban environment. Jullian makes it work for Venti. Kudos to Jullian! A very happy match!!
