When Deb moved to Australia I found her website and had a look at her dogs photos. There was something that attracted me to them, there seemed to be something very special about them. From the moment he arrived Nifty has been a pure joy to live with and train. Always wanting to work, always giving 100% and always wanting to do more, Nifty is also a very easy and sweet natured dog with other dogs and to have around and can ‘chill out’ around the house.
Nifty is the easiest and most willing-to-please dog I’ve ever had in all my years of training dogs. He has an uncanny knack of knowing where we should be going on course and has saved my butt on many occasions, getting around very quickly and efficiently and he loves to celebrate at the end of a run!
He has given me a tremendous appreciation of true working border collies – their athleticism, their learning ability, their drive, their wonderful temperament and their incredible ability to focus on the job in hand. Because of his attitude to work and his sheer ability, he has attracted many people to look for a pup from similar backgrounds.
Sue HogbenNifty’s passion other than agility is swimming and we spend many hours in summer at the river or in the pool at home. He is friendly and outgoing with all dogs he meets and very easy to control in any situation. I keep promising Deb we will try herding!
Nifty is one in a million, but I see that several other owners of Blue Moon puppies think the same way! Thank you Deb for a very special ‘mate’.
