I heard about a working kelpie bitch that had a good outrun, so I rang her latest owner, Bruce Roberts, a stockman from near Sheffield. He was on the lookout for a good kelpie dog to put her to. I told him about a young kelpie that I had seen. When he was eighteen months old, I bought Jed from Derek Bowmer. Later, we were talking, and as we both wanted a pup from our own dogs, it seemed a good idea to out Jed and Ellie together. I kept Lizzie and Bruce kept a red & tan bitch pup, Shandy. There were six puppies and all went to working homes. I didnt know at the time, but David Wood and Derek Cheetham, triallers that I knew, both had a pup.
