Johnny the Nipper dog was one of my all time favourites,I've seen dogs with more wind but by feck he had enough to kill more than you could carry lol..he was a smashing dog he was,my mate bought him off HBG off these forums for £20..day or night he worked both to a high standard,retrieved perfect EVERYTIME and would tackle ANYTHING,he took everything that crossed his path unto and including Red's albeit with a helping hand..sadly he died when out working with the terriers but he went out on his shield which is the way I'm sure he would rather of? Lovely temperament and just one of those dogs that just enjoyed life and his work..ATB Andy.

I owned a very similar stamped 3/4 grey 1/4 collie he would run through a brick wall until he seen a sheep, feckin petrified of them he was :D Took the term broken to sheep to a whole new level, he would kill all critters but if a sheep came in the beam he'd put the anchors on and come to heel straightaway. :censored:

As you can imagine living in Wales he weren't a lot of use locally. :D

Yeah I think the words "chocolate and fireguard" spring to mind Johnny if sheep were around? .. In laymans terms not worth a toss lol...shame though if he was a good all round grafter?..ATB Andy

Why would that be FF? Johnny's dog was an adult and wouldn't run game if there was sheep about? Millet's is a pup and was being broken to livestock? Big difference wouldn't you say? ATB Andy
