Ryla's BCs Guardian Of Lost Souls BCAT ATD

Mushu belongs to one of my co-owners but he is not from my program. He is half working line, half Australian showline. Mushu is a smaller male, around 35lbs and 19". 

Mushu is a high drive and medium/high energy Border Collie who is always up for fun. He is very sporty and has impressive physical skills like high natural hops and great coordination. He loves to play, loves disc and is naturally very cooperative. He also loves to tug and play competitively and will shake and thrash with all his might, but if he’s playing with a child (which he loves to do) he tones it down and is super gentle and intuitive with them. Mushu has a ton of sport potential and has been started in herding, agility and disc. He is an excellent trick dog. He loves FastCAT and runs consistently at ~25mph. He has begun training for competition Obedience in the last couple of months and will debut this year. He has been evaluated by a bite sport trainer who said he would do well in something like PSA, with how well he handles pressure and his intensity. Mushu is a very stable dog with a good head on his shoulders, who was a crazy pup who grew into a fantastic dog. He has a great off switch and is a pleasure to live with. He is a working service dog for his owner and he could be much more highly titled but the area where he lives is quite lacking in dog sports, making it challenging to pursue lots of titles, plus Mushu is busy as a service dog. Although he is a high drive dog, he is very mentally stable and his structure is also very nice and functional. 

Mushu has recently started Flyball training where he is showing tons of promise already and has plans to continue. We also finally found a dock pool that isn't 6 hour away and hope to get started there, where we expect he will thrive.

Mushu brings a lot to the table and I'm very happy with how the litters he's sired are maturing. He is sire to our Oranges, ACOTAR, and TOG litters.
