Blue Merle
When
the first Blue Bear x Reba litter was whelped and Roger saw the uniquely
colored little blue merle bitch, he immediately said, "I’m keeping
that blue merle." And so he did. Named Three Spot for the three small
merle spots on her back, the rest of this little puppy was mostly black,
except half her face, which was merling, and on her feet and stifle where
most dogs have copper, she had merling. We were intrigued by her from the
very start and she has become one of our favorite bitches.
Three Spot has always
had a very outgoing, relaxed disposition, like her mother. She’s never
had a crabby moment that we know of, likes and gets along with everybody
– humans and canines. Also like her mother, she’s an easy keeper with
good substance and can get a little porky if we don’t watch it. She is
very nicely built and has correct conformation and movement.
We had always intended
to trial Three Spot but somehow the time just never was right – she was
in heat, we didn’t have room to take her, etc., etc. Then one September
Roger decided, on the spur of the moment, to take her to an ASCA trial in
Georgia to see what she would do. He literally took her out of the kennel,
with very little working experience, and entered her in the trial. Now we
don’t recommend everybody doing this, but you know the old saying,
"Do as I say do, not as I do…" Anyway, with just her natural
instinct Three Spot not only qualified but placed in all three classes of
stock. She did such a nice job on sheep and cattle that the judge had
scored her as an open dog!! She easily completed her started titles
and later in 2000 will resume trialing. Like most of the Bear x Reba
puppies, she is a natural fetch dog, a sensible, quiet worker that groups
and rates her stock really well. She’s not too pushy but can really get
fired up at times and want to get a few bites in when she gets excited.
She’s easily controlled and easily trained, one of our most biddable
working dogs, and thrives on making Roger happy. She’s the type of dog
that a novice handler or inexperienced rancher could take and do whatever
they needed to with her, just by using her natural instinct.
Three Spot is dependable
and consistent, we can always count on her to be the same, day after day,
always smiling, ready to do whatever we ask.
