Bruce
Owner: Paddy Fanning
ISDS No. 330825
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.
Ordering Information
In most cases the semen will be sent in a 12 Kgs dry shipper. The shipper costs over £1000, so to keep transport costs to a minimum we will hire the shipper from the storage Veterinary clinic on your behalf. The shipping quote will include the tank and semen plus the return flight of the tank to the Vets. The semen is safe for up to 21 days using this method should there be any hold up in transit due to weather or Customs. In some cases the semen can be sent using a disposable shipper. This keeps the semen frozen for 4 days and can be used on short trips if we are confident the shipping company can deliver with no hold ups.
The semen is stored with different Vets due to where the dogs were collected. In some cases we can join other shipments to share transport costs. If we know of another shipment that you could join it may incur moving the semen by courier across Britain to the shipping Vet. The usual cost of this service is around £100 (Sterling) but it could save you twice this amount in shared shipping.
All semen collected and offered for sale on Come-Bye is expertly taken and frozen by competent specialist Veterinarians. At no time is it interfered with and is kept within the confines of each practice. All storage tanks are checked regularly and inspected by professional companies. The semen is of top quality and not offered for sale if the Vet has any doubts.
If there isn’t a dog which you like on the register please feel free to ask about any you would like collecting from.
