Bindi & Barny's 2005 Litter

Each day Red-Dawn puppies are individually obedience & clicker & agility trained, played with, handled, socialized, crate trained and potty trained. Stimulating their mind at a young age helps ensure our puppies grow up to be very well rounded adults. Starting at 6 weeks old we spend time each day documenting each pup's development. You'll see the below Temperament Test scores for "Red Boy" showing his individual personality.

"Red Boy" is a working dog. He's got a lot of natural style an presence when playing. Fact is, he's not playing, he's 'working' the toys! At just 6 weeks his Irish herding heritage can be seen loud and clear. Red is VERY strong eyed. He also is focused and attentive to people. He'll be fine in groups, but will devote himself to his person. He's born to work. He and brother "Yellow" are exactly the same.

Our pups are Temperament tested at 6 weeks as recommended by the authorities by a professional dog trainer. Using the results ensures you pick a pup with the right temperament for you. Below are "Red Boy's" scores

Red is just like aunt Bree, uncle Aiden & dad Barny- focused and ready to work. He must go to a serious sport/ working home.
