Ffion, pronounced fee-on, arrived 25th January 2003.
She has mainly brown eyes but does have a small blue fleck which is normal for a merle and does not affect her vision. I only mention it because people ask me about it quite a lot!
I am hoping to have a final litter from Ffion at the beginning of 2008. As this will be her last litter preference will be given to homes in the UK. At the moment I am planning to use Chance as I believe his working style will compliment hers, but this depends on how he develops over the Summer.
Ffion is extremely loyal and affectionate, with excellent sheep sense. We have both learned a lot in the years I've had her.
This is my favourite picture of Ffi away from sheep, it captures her gentle nature.
