Economy And It's Effects
















Mary Jane and Kit are both for sale. Kit (split face) is a 2006 female out of my Deal and by my Toss. She is an affectionate girl who would fit into any home that is BC savvy. She is very, very fast and athletic. She is lightly started on stock. She is okay, not stellar, but not bad either. She is straight forward like her sire and will need to learn a proper outrun. Somewhere she got a fair of amount of softness, so I have not ever pushed her in fear of lowering her desire. I think she would do very nicely for someone who would not have hard core demands. What she would excel at is agility. She has the proper drive and focus for such a sport. She loves to play and interact with her handler and she is not distracted by her surroundings. She is an easy dog to own and although she does not live loose in the house, I have no doubt she would transit into that life style easily. The few times the kids have let her in, she simply hopped up on the sofa and laid in their lap- she was not at all restless. All my dogs are crated at night, so house training would be a snap. Because I don't think she is cut out for me as a herding partner, I am asking very little for her to go to a good home. If she went to someone as a spayed female I would only charge the spay price (which is around $45 at the Surry Co SNIP van). She would need to be spayed before she left my property in this case. If someone wanted her intact her price would be $500. She is ABCA registered. Info on Toss and Deal can be provided to serious inquiries. My time right now is VERY, VERY limited, so if you are simply browsing, please do not email me asking me questions that will take me an evening to answer! If you're serious, I am more than happy.
Mary Jane is also for sale. She is being worked weekly by a friend of mine and trialed at the novice USBCHA level. (my friend is new to herding) She has several middle-level AHBA titles. She is well bred, going back closely to some of Emil Luedecke's dogs, as well as Joni Swanke's Belle, and many other well known western lines. She is very natural and easy to work. She would be an outstanding farm/chore dog and perfect for someone just getting started in trialing. She is trained to roughly the PN/Ranch level, although she is not yet on any whistles. She has a nice outrun that came about very naturally. Off sheep is a fantastic dog- never met a stranger type and always happy. She would become an inside/outside type of dog very, very easily. She would be equally happy working sheep or simply being a pet- she could go either way. Because she has such nice potential, is well started, and is bred so nice her price remains at $2,000. Additionally she is OFA good and DNA normal. She has produced and raised one litter in which there were two females and one male. They were all tris in various degrees, from only brown under the tail to being heavy tri. She was bred to my Toss (black and white smooth) and there were 2 smooths and 1 rough coat. There are several videos of her on my youtube account- www.youtube.com/alinbcs These videos are from quite some time ago, but it's still a good showing of how she works. Like I mentioned in Kit's profile, please do not contact me out of curiosity- I simply do not have the online hours available for that right now! If you are quite interested and would like to talk with me, email me your phone number and I will give you a call.
Thank you!
