Owners Comments:
In 2018, Bruce earned his place on the Irish team, putting up one of the All-Time scores in an Irish National of 212. He also went on to win Irish Driving Champion that year.
Bruce has a lot of feel and class and his a great dog to hold sheep on line either on the fetch or the drive. He is the sort of dog that can help a handler and will read sheep. He is a great dog at the pen, predicting a sheep's before it makes it.
Bruce is a litter brother to Supreme Chamipon Hutchinson's Jock. He is a son of Supreme Champion Brownlie's Mo. He is a son of two time Reserve Supreme Champion Hutchinson's Sweep. He is a grandson of Supreme Champion McVicar's Spot.
Bruce is clear for Eod, Igs, Sn, Tns and Cea.
Bruce has not been trialled very much and is handled by an average handler, in better hands, his ability could have been better exploited and much bigger results achieved.

Glencregg Silver
Silver's record speaks for itself. He is the best dog that I have ever worked with. From six months of age, I started to train him. And at under 8 months of age, he was on the trial field. And very quickly made his mark. Finishing 3rd in Nursery league ( Donegal Section ) and went on to win North of Ireland Nursery Final 2014 at 10 months of age . I am not quite sure , but I think Silver has won almost 15 opens, from February to August 2014. Being placed 6th in World Trial and crowned it off with winning the International Supreme Championship . I think he is the youngest dog to ever do this and also to win both Nursery Final and Supreme in the same year?
Silvers ability with sheep is the best I have ever seen. (And yes this is a big statement) . But Silver has a tremendous nack at landing at the right spot behind the sheep on the outrun. Sometimes looking as if he has stopped short and other times looking as if he has over shot. But if you wait until the sheep have lifted, you will discover that he is 100% correct every time. And he does this every time without command. Took me a little while to discover that he was best left to do this himself. Like his mother Becca , sheep seem to really like him . He applies the right amount of pressure, should the sheep be heavy or light. Just when I thought Silver couldn't impress me any more, he did. This happened in the final at he World Trial. Silver had a very good start. First outrun lift and fetch, almost perfect. Then on the turn back for the second packet of sheep, he got it wrong. Mainly my fault for not flanking him wide enough. And for such a young dog the amount of time spent trying to get him to go back on the right line. A fair amount of pressure applied, most dogs would have folded. But having reached the second packet from the wrong side. Silver just settled into the job, lifted the sheep and carried on as if nothing had ever happened. (A TRUE PROFESSIONAL) James P Mc Gee September 2014.

Jim is a very cool dog and a lovely character, always in the same mood. He has plenty of power and stamina. he has nice very balance and feel but not too much eye which means that there is no stickiness in him around the lift, shedding, etc.
Jim is not just a trial dog, he is also a very useful work dog. I work him on the mountain and he is good to spot sheep at distance and a good outrunner. He is completely reliable and dependable over long days and difficult ground on the hill and in testy situations.
Jim's very first 2 sons made a combined price of €10,000, at 7 and 9months of age.
