Both Stig's sire and dam have produced some notable agility dogs trialing at
the international level competing under the Comebyanaway prefix.
Will has also sired litters under the Campbells prefix and under the
Nedlo 'What' and Nedlo 'Strictly' prefix.

Stig will be doing sheepwork at Blue Moon. Duke is getting older and it is
our hope Stig will take over as our main work dog in a few years as he matures.
More importantly Stig will be my constant companion and best friend!

Stig and I begin our adventure!

We are just thrilled to have Stig become a part of our lives!

I had been waiting for what seems like a long time for this litter.
They say good things come to those who wait and they are right!
I had admired Red, Stigs mum, as she reminded me very much of a dog I
owned in the past. I was over joyed when Mandy contacted me to say
the breeding was on.

Stig was the only male in his litter of 7 pups.
I was hoping for a male pup with a dark face and not much white.
Stig is a smart, happy, outgoing pup with excellent structure to match.
How lucky am I, Stig is exactly what I wanted!
Thanks Red, what a very good girl you are!
Thanks Mandy, for this perfect little boy!

*****

What more could I want than my own 'Dhu Stig', who is sure to make me laugh!
I named Stig after 'The Stig' on Top Gear. I really don't care much about cars,
but really enjoy the show. Their boyish antics never fail to make me laugh.
Dhu means dark or black in Gaelic.

Some say the original Stig was reincarnated as a border collie??
....and he uses the wool of black sheep to floss his teeth??
All we know is, he's called Dhu Stig.

The most recent video, almost 10 weeks old.
Stig is the darkest faced of the 3 pups.
The one taking off like a bat out of hell, then sticks his head in the bucket!
He then uses the newspaper as a slip and slide! LOL
That's my boy!

*****

Stig is due to arrive in Australia on the 6th of December.
Tick tick tick...like waiting for a pot to boil.
Counting down and down and down....
I hate waiting for the blast off!
Maybe that is why I relate to border collies so much,
patients is a virtue we both could use a bit more of.

My sweet little Stiggy saying good by to his best friend!

Stiggy is on his way to Australia, he will arrive tomorrow!
We are all a little anxious and will all feel better once he arrives safe and sound.

Stiggy is in the land downunder!

He is doing fantastic, the trip had no effect on him at all.
He is such a happy and playful little boy! He loves everybody and
has not seen a toy he does not think is fantastic.

Just a few pics for now.
