Busta's Tank is a son of Shepherd's Way Mace and Hetzner's Mona. At two years old, he has a quiet, easy-going temperament. He gets along with other dogs, loves to meet new people and has never met a stranger. He is also showing good instincts with sheep, learning to quietly gather and fetch them.
Tank's primary job is to be my companion, both at home and on trail rides with my horse. At nine months, he was helping move the neighbor's cattle back through the fence when they escaped. He is happy to help, and happy to relax when the job is done. I have recently added a small flock of Katahdin ewes, and will be continuing Tank's training in the stock work arena.
At two years, Tank is 22.5 inches at the shoulder, and weighs about 65 pounds. He has a wonderful temperament - gentle, outgoing, curious, friendly, playful, and shows appropriate prey and play drives. He wants to help, and looks for opportunities to do that.
At three years old, Tank stands at 22.5 inches at the shoulder and weighs just over 70 pounds. Tank is very active, and loves working sheep and cows.
Color: Sable and white
Tank is ESCR and UKC registered.
PennHIP: .57/.58 with no degenerative joint disease.
Other Health Screens: MDR1 normal/normal; CEA normal/normal; PRA-prcd normal/normal.

Tank at his second time working sheep. Tank has a lot of drive, so we now have sheep and will work on harnessing some of that over zealous energy.

Tank working sheep. He is a bit exuberant.
He settled down shortly after I took picture.

My little Katahdin ewes. The dogs go with me to do chores, and are learning to be quiet and calm around the sheep. The sheep are also getting used to the dogs and I and are starting to follow me around their lot.
