Our Dogs

Our dogs are all working sheepdogs, and all compete in sheep dog trials when they are ready. We expect every one of them to be able to work effectively with stock on all types of terrain. We like dogs that have a brain (that works!), great heart and courage, athleticism, drive and enthusiasm, and a good temperament. While our dogs are working dogs, we try to give them a nice life too with runs in the forest, play time and time to hang out with us. We love our dogs and are proud of their accomplishments on the trial field, but most importantly, we are proud of them for competently doing the job for which they were bred. You can read more about each dog below.

Kinloch Kobe

Kinloch Wynn
Kinloch Wynn is a son of Meg and Bobby Dalziel's Joe. Photos HERE. Wynn is Mr. Loyalty. He'll charge through a field of thistles at every and any opportunity to get to Angie (much to Kelvin's chagrin!). He is quite like big sister, Sioux, in his temperament.

Kinloch Keeper
Kinloch Keeper is a son of Meg and Bobby Dalziel's Joe. Photos HERE. Keeper is always into mischief! He can't help himself but to poke his nose into every nook and cranny and go exploring. He's a bit of a free spirit but in a nice way.

Kinloch Tahi
Kinloch Tahi is a daughter of Cheviot Jamie and Kinloch Tina. Tahi is the babe in the bunch but already she is the naughtiest of them all and partners in 'crime' with Kiwi. She is absolutely desperate to work and will escape through any open gate or hole in the fence to go find sheep. This one is a handful.

THE BOSS

Bailey
Last but not least is Bailey, our agility star (now retired), household pet and running pal. Bailey loves to run, jump and play, and she's the most badly behaved of the lot of them! She has won numerous agility events and will proudly show you all her ribbons, if asked. Bailey is the boss of our household - or so she thinks. READ MORE.
