If an Australian Cattle Dog can have perfect attitude, then Chief is ideal. He loves the livestock with which he's charged. He will swoon over his stock as if they are his precious family. He has the same attitude of affectionate ownership over his breeding bitches as well, as attested by the photograph below.

With people, Chief is responsive, friendly and biddable. He's smart, ever alert and ready to accompany his master on any adventure, especially if he's called to task.

After a long visit with his potential new owner, Chief approached and sat on his new master's foot. Knowing somehow that this would be his new home, he showed again, as always, that he knew the score.

Chief is now retired from the Bluespirit breeding program
