When we picked her up we also met Mr. Des Vincent and his great Kelpie, Le Cliff Jock, who was the sire of Gayleen. The pup turned out to be one of the most natural Kelpies we had and she had a wonderful personality as well. She won and placed in Arena, Utlity and Yard trials as well as doing much of our everyday station work. We later bred back on those lines to reinforce the traits we were so pleased with. We still have her breeding in our bloodlines.
Many breeders wish they had a dog like Le Cliff Jock now.
Sandy was placed in four Novice trials and then won Euchuca from 80 entries when he was only 18 months old. Mintara Ben was another of the good pups by Le Cliff Jock and when only twelve months old won the Novice sheepdog trial at Euroa in 1983. He won many trials in the Riverina District with this good bitch. Mintara Buster was a good looking red and tan with a lot of work ability. He went on to win trials in later years.
