Cap is a lovely dog and has always listened and wanted to please me. Cap has been my main lambing dog for the last couple of years. Some dogs are just born for this type of work and I could wish for no better dog for lambing than Cap. He thinks about the job he is doing so knows to head a ewe walking off with just one of her lambs without me telling him to. I have found that Cap and Sky are a good pair when mustering ewes and lambs up for docking. Both having an even pace and most of the time don't compete for the work. Cap as a breeding dog has produced the type of pups that I like, quite often throwing more to the bitch. This year will be different for us both, due to an accident Cap has had one of his eyes removed. While he recovered he slept in a crate in the kitchen, (something he adapted to very quickly). He is now doing well and adjusting. I have noticed he is more cautious around crowds of people than he was but he plays with pups now, something he was to manly to do before. He has done the bulk of the lambing here (2008) and at the Rec Farm in town with Cloud finishing up handling the tail enders at the rec farm and Sky taking over towards the end of lambing and Sioux, Jill sharing part of lambing here. Cap is turning 11 yrs old this year.
