Puppy Evaluations - Gilderoy

Our Own Observations:

Gilderoy is a fairly confident puppy that will fit into most households.

He has single hind dewclaws which is a fault for the breed so he cannot be shown. He also has a strange distinctive tuft of fur on his eyelid that could be removed when he is neutered.

Gilderoy is a LGD in training (Livestock Guardian dog). He is showing very good working instincts and is great with our sheep and ducks.

Gilderoy is not available.

Gilderoy is puppy type 'B' : These pups will tend to be fairly outgoing and dominant. Consistent, kind training methods bring quick learning.  Small children in the home are not best for this type.
