We plan to take him summer of 2012 to our Candy. Pups from this planned litter should be similar to our Garth. Pups will carry the blood of WTCH Talon, WTCH Edi, VCH WTCH Bandit and other greats in the breed. We're breeding Candy at age two at which time Talon will be age ten. Pups should be pretty awesome.

Many of Talon's offspring are on working ranches

age four winning at Nationals:) High in Trial Overall '06 ASCA Nationals;, 1st place sheep '06 ASCA Natonals (Talon's dam Rosy took 1st place sheep '04 ASCA Nationals)

Talon is a dominant but biddable.  He is protective of the ranch but ever-so-loving once we tell him you are our friends.  He treats all humans exactly as they treat him.  He adores our granddaughter Shelby and in the evenings, you'll have to push him out of your lap:)  He's an eager stock partner with wonderful stock sense.  He's fast, fearless and strong on stock.  He lives to work for Steve.   Talon heads and heels both, although sometimes he can grab a tail on cattle - voops.  Talon retrieves anything and everything.  He is quite amusing when he shakes his toy with balls on each end as he literally bonks himself so hard you would think he would knock himself out.  He is an outstanding outside as well as inside dog.  He's a quiet dog, never being a barking nuisance like some Aussies.  He's very playful and loves it when we take time just to goof around, especially with the water hose. His working instinct is evidenced by the honors he's earned in competitions plus he serves as our right-hand dogman here at the ranch.

STUD CONTRACT (scroll down for honors, sibling info, offspring links, and pedigree) - Talon has put two litters on the ground, one three years of age and the other 4 weeks of age.

Pictured above training on sheep in '04 - Talon has lovely structure, is clean coming and going, and has awesome ground covering sidegait. Couple that with his proven stock instinct, and you've got yourself one good look'n and awesome stockdog and ranchhand.
