But having reached the second packet from the wrong side. A fair amount of pressure applied, most dogs would have folded. And for such a young dog the amount of time spent trying to get him to go back on the right line.

Mainly my fault for not flanking him wide enough. Then on the turn back for the second packet of sheep, he got it wrong. First outrun lift and fetch, almost perfect. This happened in the final at he World Trial. Just when I thought Silver couldn't impress me any more, he did. He applies the right amount of pressure, should the sheep be heavy or light. Like his mother Becca, sheep seem to really like him.

Took me a little while to discover that he was best left to do this himself. And he does this every time without command. But if you wait until the sheep have lifted, you will discover that he is 100% correct every time. Sometimes looking as if he has stopped short and other times looking as if he has over shot. But Silver has a tremendous nack at landing at the right spot behind the sheep on the outrun. Silvers ability with sheep is the best I have ever seen. I think he is the youngest dog to ever do this and also to win both Nursery Final and Supreme in the same year? Being placed 6th in World Trial and crowned it off with winning the International Supreme Championship. I am not quite sure, but I think Silver has won almost 15 opens, from February to August 2014. Finishing 3rd in Nursery league ( Donegal Section ) and went on to win North of Ireland Nursery Final 2014 at 10 months of age. And at under 8 months of age, he was on the trial field. From six months of age, I started to train him. He is the best dog that I have ever worked with.
