I'm due a pup soon & thinking of getting either a pure huntaway, or collie cross huntaway. I'm doing less gathering for other farms now & there are days when the old collie has no sheep work to do. I'm thinking that I need something a bit more laid back that could switch off from sheep & get some of it's exercise at the beach or playing football with the kids but it would still need to be a good worker when I do need it.
Does that sound like a good idea?
If so, where would I find a good pup? I hear some things about inbreeding & health issues, so I'm a bit cautious to just get one from an advert. (And if anyone wants to pm me with where NOT to get one I'll keep it confidential if you like.)
Other huntaway advice also gratefully received.
