[QUOTE="Magik22, post: 7712700, member: 44802"] I’m going to be looking for a new working collie pup to join the team soon and I was wondering how everyone goes about finding a pup that will hopefully do the job? Do you just find a local litter and take pot luck or do your research, watch the parents work etc..? I’ve always thought of it like a race horse, training is most important but start with the best you can find and it might help your chances. On the other hand I’ve heard people say the best dogs they’ve had have just been the last pup available from a litter down the road. On the back of this, if anyone can recommend breeders of good dogs for hill ground that’d be great. Good stamina, ability to think a little for themselves and strong enough for pen work would be the ideal. And not that it matters that much but I always prefer a short haired dog. cheers! [/QUOTE]
