Repeat breeding of Ormond Mirk, sired by 2022 International Supreme Champion and 2023 Reserve Champion, Dewi Jenkins’ Jock, to Sue, sired by Jock’s son, 2025 International Supreme Champion, Dewi Jenkins’ Clwyd Bob. Both Jock and Clwyd Bob work sheep and cattle on the Jenkins family farm.
This is a 6.25% CoI breeding around Jock, who is genetically clear and has above average hip and joint scores.
Sire, Ormond Mirk, is forward, strong, athletically built with just the right temperament a working dog.
Dam, Sue, is muscled and powerful, large for a female, highly biddable and steely on stock.
Maternal grandmother is my toughest female and top breeder, James McCloskey’s Nel. Nel is the mother of grandmother of all my best young dogs and pups. Nel breeds tough, resilient, forward dogs.
Previous litter of this mating was excellent on sheep. Pups were forward, fast, smart and resilient. Tough as full grain leather: gritty, tough, smart, biddable, agile, fast and fearless. They were like Energizer Bunnies.
Sheep and cattle farm owners in New England is using a pup from the last litter to manage an entire farm. They are so fussy about pups that they flew all the way to Scotland to pick up their last pup, who worked the farm until she was 14 years old. I am honored that they chose one of my pups —and that are happy with their Thundering Paws Farm choice! They wrote this morning:
“She is strikingly intelligent, even for a collie. She weighs everything carefully before taking any action or accepting anything. Her intelligence is very human-like. She is cooperative and affectionate as well as independent. She’s definitely one of “those”, with a strong herding instinct. I am so grateful to whoever I should be grateful to that I saw her picture and wrote to you, and I am so grateful to you for breeding this amazing girl. She is different and quirky, but I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that she’s going to be a fantastic dog. I’m enjoying each day with her and also looking forward to every day to come.”
Pups from this litter all have symmetrical, classic markings. Black and white (possible to have tan facial highlights, which would be noticeable at 4 weeks). Coats look smooth, but could have smooth or medium.
Dam clear of genetic diseases on full breed profile. Sire is IGS carrier and EOAD risk carrier.
Pups will be available to go after 12 weeks and will be ABCA (possibly ISDS) registered.
