Gracie and Yukon Litter arrived
December 11, 2014
See individual puppy photos here: PUPPY PHOTOS
Gracie and Yukon's litter arrived a bit early, on December 11, 2014. There are 5 girls and then 3 boys. All are healthy and doing well. This is a wonderful clear sable and white litter, with both sire and dam going back to Jones Wild Oats Will (Zeus) and Wild Oats Merrie Brooks. I have very few litters, and this planned litter should produce healthy, confident dogs with good instincts and a strong work ethic and should go into working farm environments, sport dog homes and excel at the tasks expected of them. Before they go to their new homes, the puppies will have begun their crate training, learned to walk on leash, be partially housebroken, exposed and socialized with lots of people of all ages and other dogs. The puppies will be started on t he Army's Super Dog protocol and continue developing their confidence until they go to their new homes. They will have the appropriate shots and worming. Puppies will be evaluated for temperament and structure, so the best match between puppy and new home can be made. We are no longer accepting puppy applications. We have received enough applications for the puppies that are available for sale.

Gracie, Johnson’s
Gracie-Ann Squier AHBA HCTs, CGC, is clear sable and white, with a solid
athletic build, standing at 22” and 50 pounds, with a wonderful topline. Gracie
lives on her owner’s south central Pennsylvania crop farm. She
is a sensible, very athletic dog who takes her job of watching over the farm
and home very seriously. She actively rids the property of any predators, on
the ground, in the ground and in the sky. She has a lot of determination, which
was evident as a small pup in her litter. Gracie quickly picks up on any rules and
tries to enforce them, which includes keeping objects in the house in order, as
well as the other dogs. She does not stray and she is my primary alerter.
Gracie has a very sweet personality, is very biddable and a joy to take off the
farm to meet other people and dogs. She has good herding instincts and has
worked sheep and has also practiced rally obedience. Like Yukon, she carries
forward the Guy Wilson line, in addition to Beebe, Butcher, Anderson and other
lines.

Carolina where he regularly works the farm’s sheep. ESC and UKC registered
"PR" Betts' Wilson's Yukon Gold AHBA JHDs, HTAD1s, ASCASs, BHA RATI, RATN
is a sensible, steady, loving, guardian and always by his owner’s side when she
is working on the farm. He is intelligent, sensitive and naturally well
mannered. He has wonderful judgment. He was quite a serious pup and is actually
playing more now that he is grown. He is a rule oriented fella. A great all
around family dog and farm hand. He is his owner’s GO-TO guy for work around
the farm. He is a great vermin and snake terminator, coyote guard, and stock
dog. He works to help his owner which is very important to him. He carries
forward the Guy Wilson lines, some of the oldest Southeastern farm collie
lines, and is a great representative of that intelligent, tractable, versatile,
temperament. He is a wonderful competition dog as well as the BEST traveling,
camping, and hiking buddy. He absolutely never wanders. “He has a great sense
of duty toward me and I am honored.”--
