We run Welsh Sheepdogs at Wilden. When we started keeping dogs the Welsh Sheepdog was not a recognised 'breed', but we'd noticed that the working dogs in Mid Wales were active and independent, capable of working large areas of difficult ground with hidden dips and tall vegetation. We set out to find pups from this area. Our first two were brother and sister, a black and white dog we called Yogi and a red bitch, Foxy, who came from Llanarth in 1994.

Since then we have acquired two registered Welsh Sheepdog bitches, both of which are approved for breeding. We prefer smooth coated dogs because our soil is sticky silty loam and smoothies keep cleaner than rougher coated dogs.
