Born September 6, 2021

Description of the Dam

Peaslee’s Elanor Proudfoot (Shire) is an exceptionally intelligent, kind-hearted, and intuitive dog with a strong sense of responsibility. Friendly and gentle, she gets along with everyone and tries hard to please. She enjoys working and has started level herding titles and intermediate trick dog titles in addition to her canine good citizen certification. Although not formally trained as a service dog, she adapts naturally to the needs of those around her and is a loving companion for elderly and disabled members of the family. She patrols our property, dispatching mice & voles, and running off coyotes and hawks. Shire is petite & athletic with a feminine build and features.

Description of the Sire

Snowy River’s Noble Oak (Shelby) lives on a farm in Oregon where his owner notes, “Shelby is a sweet boy, easy going, gentle, steady, loyal, athletic and intelligent. Good prey drive, excellent problem solver and a wonderful partner dog. He will do or try anything I ask him. Watches over me when I’m feeding the cows and will push them back if they get too close. He’s is gentle with my ducks and shows interest in working sheep. Shelby has good toy drive and works for treats. Shelby has earned the AKC CGC and PKD-T.”

Characteristics of the Match

Both Shire and Shelby have normal hips and are clear for MDR-1, CEA, PRA-prcd and DM. Genetic coefficient of inbreeding (COI) calculated by Embark for this cross is 4.0%.  I expect these puppies to be thoughtful, athletic and balanced, family-oriented puppies with solid working instincts.  They should be lovely family companions and intelligent, capable working partners. Colors expected in the litter include tricolor, sable/white, brindle/white and black/white.
