Thanks for the email

Please find attached a couple of shots of "Tye" a tri-colour border collie about 18 months old.

We rescued him 5 months ago and he has become a wonderful, calm natured,
hard working good friend!

We are ready to step up his training now so the whistles will come in handy
for long distance commands.

Hi Geoff.

Many thanks for the email. I will let you know when I have received the tags and whistle.

Here is a few pics of my dogs as puppies and now 2 yrs old that you may like to use on your site.

Hi, my wife gave me one of your whistles for Christmas.
I just thought you would like to know that after two weeks of frustrating practice, I finally discovered how it works earlier this evening! I'm already producing a variety of shrill, ear-piercing whistles and the dogs are leaping all over the place in response.
I was beginning to despair over my lack of progress, but suddenly it happeded and now I think I'm going to become the most annoying person of all time, because I just can't put the whistle down. Tomorrow's early morning walk will be a lot of fun, because the whistle will accompany us along the South Devon coastline where we live and the sheep in the nearby fields will probably have an anxious start to their day!
I have two Border Collies: Clooney (4 years old) and his son Jake (2 years old) who are both pampered pets, rather than working dogs, but they are both well trained and an absolute joy to be with; and the new whistle will add a new dimension to their training sessions!
For your interest, I've attached a Microsoft Word document containing a recent photograph of my lovely boys whom I expect will soon be reacting positively to my new commands as I perfect my whistling technique.

Best wishes for 2009.

Hi Geoff

I received the whistle this morning - many thanks for the very prompt service. I am pleased to say that I have already made some whistle sounds which is amazing as I thought it may take a lot longer to produce any noise at all after reading one of the entries on "Your Page 2009". Funnily enough one of the writer's dogs is also called Jake.

I am attaching a photo of my dog, Jake, keeping watch over the fish in our pond!. He is almost 11 months old and between my husband and I he is our seventh border collie. He has the most wonderful temperament and, although going through his adolescent stage, is responding very well to training. He is a pet rather than a working dog and to keep his mind tested I hope to do agility with him when he is over a year old.

Kind regards

Here is a picture of Dewi our trainee BC. He is 13 months old and had been in training for about a month. He is locally born (Pembrokeshire Sheepdogs) and will hopefully come to work our breeding flock of 200 Welsh Mountain ewes here on the RSPB reserve of Ramsey Island. He is surely the most westerly sheepdog in Wales!

Thanks for all your help with purchasing the whistle and prompt response to queries

best wishes

Hello,

Here is a photo of our Australian Cattle Dog pack - puppies Rose, Ruby and Jake on the left, Dazzle in front and Billy Redbear. Dazzle and Billy work sheep and cattle in several trail venues, and the puppies are just getting started with goats.

Thanks for producing such a nice whistle. This is my second!

Best regards,
