Damian’s background:
Damian first started working with dogs when he was just 16, beginning with two Doberman Pinschers and a Border Collie.
Today he specialises in training working gundogs, and believes that you don’t have to work your dog to benefit from the training; he claims that gundog training can also be used to create great bonds with your family dog.
The latest addition to his kennels is different kind of working dog. With his Tessleymoor Farm growing, he has taken the decision to invest in a sheep dog.
How did Pentir Lassie end up at Tessleymoor?
Damian had been thinking about getting a Border Collie for some time and had admired the dogs of Emma Gray, a shepherdess featured on the BBC programme ‘This Farming Life’.
When he heard that there was a litter coming from her dog, Reiver Gray, he got in touch with Glynne Jones of Pentir Sheepdogs. Glynne bred the litter with his own Graylees Cêt, producing stunning puppies, some of which carry the rare lilac colour.
What is the highest price paid for a sheepdog puppy?
So, how much did Pentir Lassie sell for? This collie pup sold for £7,600 at Skipton Auction.
Damian paid this high price in recognition of her top-quality breeding from the best DNA tested bloodlines in the UK. He says, “This is a pup with everything, and I can’t wait to get started with training her.”.
What will this collie puppy be fed on?
We’re sure you’re wondering the all-important question ‘What will Pentir Lassie be fed on?’.
