Blueborders Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I have a friend that lives up in the Pacific NW that's looking to get a puppy soon. Since I'm in Texas, I don't know anything about any breeders up in that area. I also don't want to start a bashing thread on any breeder so please reply privately. They are looking at Abingdon in Oregon. I checked out their website and I didn't see anything majorly pop up as a red flag. But there's not a whole lot either on their website. They appear to do mostly ASCA trials. If anyone has anything positive or negative to say, please PM me. I am still hoping to convince my friend to rescue but do at least want to steer them to a reputable breeder if they do decide definitely to make that choice. Thanks!

DeltaBluez Tess Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Have them contact me. My pups from my next litter are all spoken for (Ben is getting one and I doubt he will part with his Nan x Bobby Dalziel "Joe" pup) but I can steer them to other folks. I live in Carnation, which is due east of Seattle Diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red russel Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Lots of nice dogs up here. Nice litters each year as well. Diane is a good place to begin.

NorthfieldNick Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Theres a nice 3-ish yr old male in rescue right now, started on sheep. Sounds like a fantastic dog for someone who might not want to seriously trial. I talked to the folks about adopting him, but several things weren't going to work. He did sound like a great dog to have around, though- a pet as well as a working dog. "Gryff" on the PNW BCR site. As Diane said, I'm on the lookout for a pup (unless she finally just gives me Nan). Derek Fisher is also going to breed his Jen, possibly to Shannahan's Riggs. There are plenty of nice dogs up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did have the chance to steal Nan when she crawled into your car at the Finals. As well into Nicks' crate. ;-) Diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
