2024 SageHill Lambing (the newbie joins in) now Fall 2024

Are the sold pups going to be herding for buyers?

Surely, yes. You wouldn't "waste" the well bred, healthy, intuitive breed to just anyone, hopefully!

Triplets are usually smaller, but compared to twins, collectively, the triplets will weigh more than the twins. So if selling by the pound, 3 bring more than 2.

Old adage is that it takes 2 lmbs per ewe to survive as a shepherd "One for the bank, one fr the shepherd". Twins are the break even, triplets make you money!

One of the boys (yellow collar, though only I would know) early herding moves - and he did this more than once. Notice - neither the puppy or the lamb are running --- good herding.

Just what you would expect from careful genetics and breeding! This is why you want to get working dogs from working parents and breeders that know their bloodlines and dogs.

This is the girl - Pink collar --- the one I am keeping --- she's a bit intense. Note again neither lamb nor puppy are out of control. Good things from good parents all around.

A little more intense but still showing proper behavior at this age. Amazing they are already so old! And so adorable at this age!
