Upcoming Litter--CD x Whicket

Sire--Young's Cow Dog (CD) Dam--Slash V Sweet N Whicket (Whicket)

All four colors possible.  Taking deposits now.

I have been searching for an outcross for several years.  I am always searching for the great dog out there somewhere that is yet undiscovered and not closely related to everything else.  And there he was, right down the road!  I can't say I even found him, because his owners, Brian and Toni Rhodes, actually found me two years ago when they bred a 3/4 sister to this dog to our Smokey.  I saw CD then and even watched him work but on a 100 plus degree day there was not a lot to watch as he brought the roping calves in.  A recent trip to the Rhodes who are about 30 miles from me made me quite sure I had found the dog I had been looking for.  I watched CD (short for his registered name, Youngs Cow Dog) go out across about big pasture, move some cows with calves out of their shade (we are again in August in Texas) and take them down into a corral.  They were reluctant to go and he was controlled and confident in moving them and confronting a challenge.  Not to mention,  this is a very correct conformation dog with a pretty head and expression,and most of all a wonderful temperament.  He is Brian's personal dog and goes everywhere with him.  I would say from what I saw that he could compete at Open level without further training. 
 
CD has an inbreeding coefficient of 4.76 which is very low and is an outcross on Whicket.   These puppies will not be closely related to any of the popular bloodlines.
 
Whicket herself is pretty equally balanced on working both heads and heels and has a nice low key personality.  She is very well made.  Her brother Smokey has produced some really top working ranch dogs, and titled trial dogs (two of them straight from the ranch).  Since I prefer a calm easy going personality, Whicket is a favorite because of her easily trained, no nonsense way of dealing with things.  Her mother, Whitney, is my chosen house dog and a very important part of my life.  Whicket is indeed from my line of "Sweet" dogs.

These were taken from a long distance away with a zoom lens so not real clear.  In this one you have to look at the cattle to see where the dog has approached them to move them out of the shade. 

 

In this photo, two cows are turning to confront CD, which he took care of with no problem.
In this one he is taking them up the fence.
