Bob produces smart, tough pups who win on the field and command the top prices at auction.  Each pup in this litter is very good to excellent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pups from this litter, born 30-Aug-2023, come microchipped and fully vaccinated, including Lyme and rabies.  They are ABCA registered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the UK, pups by Clwyd Bob out of good bitches like Nel sell out immediately.   I could easily have kept 5 out the 6 pups of this litter.  They are THAT good !<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-huge-font-size\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mike<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8e1f6a1d98df24aac7e0b93995fe8535\">* ON HOLD *<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Mike was the first to show interest in sheep.  At 8 weeks old, he and another pup broke through the fence in a training session with young adult to get at the sheep and took over &#8230;with confidence.  This was the first time he had ever seen sheep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \/ 1080;\" width=\"1920\" controls src=\"https:\/\/thunderingpawsfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Mike-at-8-weeks.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Mike first time seeing sheep at 8 weeks &#8211; breaking through the fence to get them<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3 weeks later, I put him back in with sheep on his own.  This is what happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \/ 1080;\" width=\"1920\" controls src=\"http:\/\/thunderingpawsfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Mike-12-weeks-on-sheep.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Mike second time on sheep at 11 weeks<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Without any guidance from me or training, Mike calmly and confident took control of the sheep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was last fall.  With the snow and Vermont winter, Mike has not seen sheep since the end of October.  Mike&#8217;s training will start in late April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can say with confidence that <strong><em>Mike is going to be an very good &#8211;possibly exceptional&#8211; sheepdog<\/em><\/strong>. He has it all. Instinct, purposefulness, biddability and a strong desire to work. Once he starts on sheep, that is <strong>ALL<\/strong> he is going to want to do. Without sheep over the winter, we have been working on outruns and flanks, stops and directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mike is <strong>very<\/strong> strong physically, but not at all aggressive.  He has a composed, deliberate nature.  Easy to have around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He will be an <em><strong>easy working dog to train<\/strong><\/em>. He is plugged into his hander. He listens, does what he is told and doesn&#8217;t mind corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside the fence, Josh is an excellent companion.   If I could keep another dog from this outstanding litter, it would be Mike.  The litter was fantastic and I already have three I am keeping.  In any other litter, Mike would not be offered for sale.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mike is for someone who appreciates a fine working dog who wants \/ needs a companion as well.  If Mike were my only dog, he is all I would need.  He is the complete package: working dog and companion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
