Finn

June 2015: Finn qualifies for Crufts at his first show!

Finn is co-owned with, and lives with, my friend Charlotte Gilbert on the farm that Eo, Buffy and Dream boss the sheep around on ☺ Aside from having his own flock of sheep (and lots of other animals!), we are hoping that he'll go to some shows when he's old enough — my friend Anita Gowing took some photos of Finn at his first show (on the right), where he was second in Minor Puppy Dog and won Puppy Dog, qualifying for Crufts twice in one go! His second show, Bakewell premier, went equally well with Finn being awarded Best Puppy ☺

Finn is a very happy puppy, has spent the first 6 months of his life getting used to life on the farm and is now starting his herding training with some short, parent supervised (we have had Dream and Eowyn holding the sheep for him in the big field), herding sessions. He is very appropriate: keeps his distance but holds his ground and is very focused and keen — we have to make sure that we keep his sessions short as he wouldn't, given half the chance!

Finn makes for a very easy visitor — he is very respectful of other dogs, but a very willing playmate if they feel that way inclined. Never pushy, just happy to fit in with whatever anyone else wants. He learns very quickly and really wants to please his people; a lovely little lad.
