Tweeds
first year of competition ended very well. After his promotion to the Open
Class this year, he was placed for the semi final on Saturday June 23th, 2007.
He reached the 9th place and with this result he became one of the
15 best dogs of the Netherlands who could run the Dutch National Double Gather
Final!
It was the first time for Tweed and Ellen to run an official Double Gather
Final. It was an impressive experience and they worked hard the whole heavy
course. They reached the 8th place and we are very proud with this
result!!
Tweed showed how he has grown in his training and a beautiful and challenging
sheepdog career is waiting for him!
-----------------
In
the beginning of 2006 Tweed came to our house. He was born in Ireland and
learned the basics on a cow and sheepfarm. He ran in the top six of trials in
Ireland and Scotland before he came to our place.
Tweed is a strong and very powerfull dog. He got a nice style and a very steady
pace which makes even the fastest sheep calm. He runs out on any distance and
is a keen shedder. He shows his will to please by very well listening.
Besides
his work, Tweed is a very friendly and open dog.
Tweeds first pups were born in autumn 2006. They were all beautiful,
longhaired, black and white pups. We kept one (named Tweed) and he is
developing nice. He listens well and is very friendly and he got
something wise.
At this moment he is too young to say something about his working ability. We
expect a lot of this youngster.
Tweeds
father is the famous populair Irish breeding dog, Wallace´s Tweed. This Tweed
also appears in the pedigree of the recent Supreme 
International Champion Bobby
Dalziels Joe.
Tweeds
mother is by another good breeding dog, McCulloughs Tweed (which is the son of
John Griffiths Tweed, also the father of our own Roy). We are not wondering why
our Tweed was named Tweed....................
When
Tweed came to our place, we had a hard a time together. He felt that somebody
else was in charge and he took his chance to work his own way.
After
a few months we got used to each other and he had a very big will to please me.
At that stage we entered the first novice trial. The result was fantastic
because he won it with 90 points out of 100.
He
developed well and the result of our first trial year was that he was one of
the only two dogs out of 86 that promoted to the open class.
Tweed
is hipscored and eyetested and available for breeding.
