For many years my desire was to own
a Black and Tan Kelpie…
Early December 1988 my wishes came
to fruition when I was offered a pup.
The smallest pup in the litter ran out
and claimed my foot.
MGW named him ‘Brandy’.
He was so loyal, would only work for me
and died suddenly one September night in 2001,
just after his first litter of pups, that we knew of,
were born.
I kept a female from that litter. 
She was called Ginger and has featured here
until her untimely death in October 2015
For a combined total of 27 father an daughter
kept me company on the farm.
