Description
Description: You can travel a lot of miles and still may never find as complete of package as RLN GUSTAVO “Tavo”. He checks every box on the list. I truly mean it when I say this is your “Once in a Lifetime” dog. He has seen it all and he has done it all and to top it off he just barely turned 4. If you are looking for the dog to take to trial on the weekend, he is your man. If you’re looking for that special dog that can go move hundreds of lambs by himself and then go work pairs. He is your man. This is the toughest, hardest biting dog I have ever been around, his presence is unmatched, and fears nothing. He is also the smartest, kindest dog I have ever been around. The best part about him is anyone in the family can go use him. From a breeder standpoint Tavo has a Pedigree to back him up that people dream about. By Brad Bunderson’s Moss(Deceased) and out of Jed Rowlan’s Foxy(Deceased) you can’t ask for a much better proven cross. He has been genetic tested and has tested clear from all major BC diseases and traits. He has a red color gene as well. This Summer we took pre-certification X-ray's of him and he is about has correct and clean as one can get. We have had a couple litters out of him in his young career and they have been extremely promising. Pups are maturing fast and are looking sharp with that same drive and strong bite. Not to mention they have been extremely good-looking pups. This type of dog is an investment that boasts a huge opportunity to see a return on. His work history is packed with experience and exposure. We have used him in lots of scenarios. We can take him out and park a truck and trailer and load a hundred nannies out in the pasture without ever setting up a panel. Then go and pen the neighbor’s dog fighting pairs. We will use him horseback, on foot, or out of the ranger. He gets along great with other dogs, and people. He can go from fighting cows to loving kids at the drop of a hat. This guy was wired to work and please. Always wants to try and give it his all. Tavo has been trialed all over. He has won extensively in the Novice by an inexperienced female handler. They learned the trail game together and I dare say the figured it out together. They have qualified for two MSSA National Finals, in both sheep and cattle. He has also been shown in the Intermediate and Open. He has won in all setups, the small arenas to the big. The complex courses to the technical. He will go on and be an extremely successful trial dog if that’s the route he is taken. This dog means the world to our family and has created tons of opportunity for us. We are getting out of the working dogs and are closing this chapter on our lives and moving on. We made the tough decision that it would be in the best interest to let Tavo go and work for someone else and do what he was bred to do. We as the sellers have frozen semen on him that we are retaining for our own personal use if we ever choose to come back to the working dog world. We would be more than happy to answer any questions. Feel free to reach out or come by and work him. We are excited to see where he ends up and excited to see what impact he leaves on the industry, and we are grateful for all the time we had with him.
