Hi all, i'm trying to do some research on this breed and wondered if anyone out there in cyber-land owns this breed that could offer some words of wisdom?

I've owned and competed with different breeds all my life and am an instructor at a dtc where we get all sorts, but i've never met one of these guys.

which breed (in relation to character not appearance) would people say they most resemble - or are they a law unto themselves?!

i've presumed, being a pastoral breed, that they enjoy a good game and are quite bouncy and keen to learn - is that right?  i dont want a lazy couch potato!

i've found out about as many breeders as i can, am joining the club and have searched the web, even some finnish sites (wow, thats a language!! :-) ) but would really appreciate some first hand advice and experiences.

Many thanks!

id be interested too, i love this breed (of what ive seen) do you think theyd do obedience?

somebody tried to do Working Trials with one once, I don't think it got very far, but I don't know why.

didnt toni jackson do agility with the late Echo?

She was the lady I was thinking of re trials I think; I believe she breeds BCs as well as the FLs?

yes probaley then! Elebreth(?sp?)is her affix for the FLs.

Elbereth?

clever clogs! ive just looked on tonis site, its really good......maybe one day i will get one(if i decide that i REALLY fancy a change from my BCs!!!)
