Nel x Blu Puppies

At 16 weeks, the exceptional puppies from Nel’s final litter are available for new homes.

I reached out to the owner of the toughest, smartest, most-driven dog I have bred, named Blu, and asked if I could mate him to my best breeding female, James McCloskey’s Nel (by Sweep), who breeds big, strong, forward pups.

The result on 25-October, was 10 pups (5M/5F). Pups will be ready to go to new homes in mid-February. Price is $2995, fully vaccinated and registered with the International Sheep Dog Society. Litter is not listed for sale on gooddog.com.
