BILL

Very few need an introduction to this outstanding individual.  He's proven himself on the trial field, on the farm and as a sire.  At 8 years old, he captured the Reserve National Championship of 1999.  In 1995, he was the Purina Herding Dog of the Year and the ONLY dog to date that was bred, raised, trained, owned and handled by the same individual--Kent Kuykendall. Other major accomplishments include winning the Virginia Triple Crown and the Carolina/Tennessee Triple Crown, 3rd in 1996 National Finals, and 4th in the Purina Award in both 1994 and 1996, and 3rd in the Working Border Award (formally the Purina Award) for 2000.  You can watch Bill in action on the Rural Route Video's 1999 USBCHA Finals video tape.

His tremendous talent, stable temperament, intelligence, exceptional pace and natural feel for the task at hand have made Bill excel in many areas. His great heart is demonstrated time after time by going beyond the call of duty both in trials and on the farm.

Bill's pups show the same outstanding temperament and talent as their sire and remain in consistent demand. Many of his offspring are currently excelling in a wide variety of tasks--whether it be trialing, agility, obedience, farm or goose dog. Pups out of Bill are only available from us and only on a limited basis.

A powerful and talented athlete that shines on the trial field and on the farm, Coon has an impressive, consistent record for wins and high placings in Open trials across the country. His most recent accomplishments include: Winner of the Working Border Collie Award for 2000, winner of Ben Ousley's trial, and winner of the Carolina/Tennessee Triple Crown. He is an asset on the farm for working ewes with lambs, nannies with kids or cows with calves. He holds his ground without causing a confrontation which is exceptionally effective on cattle.  He's a quick flanker that comes on to his stock in a direct, steady manner that maintains authoritative control.  Bred from well known, successful lines, Coon produces consistently talented offspring.  His get show interest in stock at an early age with the same eagerness and enthusiasm as their sire.  Many of his offspring are proving themselves in practical situations as well as being run successfully by some of the top handlers in this country on the Open and Nursery trial fields.  Coon's eyes are clear, his hips are rated OFA Good.

ROC

Roc is a sound, well rounded farm and Open trial dog with an excellent temperament.  He has that rare "cool" power that is so hard to find.  He was imported from Canada and trialed by Bobby Ford last year, scoring some impressive placings at competitive Open trials. Equally strong and effective on sheep, goats or cattle, Rock was purchased several months ago by Earl Warrick as a cattle dog that he could also run in Open sheepdog trials.  We were always impressed with Roc when we saw him at trials and only became more impressed when we were able to see him do practical farm work on a daily basis.   Roc's eyes  are clear and his hips are OFA good.

CRAIG
