Puppy: Lotti (Ireland)

Lotti is a premium pup in all respects. Pups of this quality rarely come to market other than at auction. They are quietly exchanged between friends.

Lotti is from Northern Ireland, bred by Bernadette Cochrane from her Jody, a daughter of Serge van der Zweep’s Mac and granddaughter of Serge’s Gary. Serge told me that “all his good dogs come from Mac”, twice Continental Champion. Lotti’s sire is one of the most sought after breeding males, past Welsh team member and powerful trial dog, Lyn Howells’ Boss.

8 month-old Lotti is fast, strong, with classic style. A good listener and naturally biddable, she has a keen interest in sheep but has not been trained. Lotti has superb temperament and classic border collie markings. She hits my sweet spot of a 4 on the 5 point power / intensity scale and feels promising as a trial or working dog. Lotti is a delight to have around while not working.

Lotti is fully vaccinated. She is an IGS carrier, otherwise clear on her full breed profile.
