…amazing temperament with a great desire to work…

Hi Tully,

Just a note to let you know how happy I am with Campaspe Ginger aka Meggs. She has an amazing temperament with a great desire to work and she is my ever constant companion. Everyone who sees her gives a compliment and she even received a round of applause at a working dog school. She can work 2500 flighty dorpers on her own through the draft and actually makes me look like I know what I’m doing! Sadly though she got caught in a fence and damaged her knee ligament which required surgery so now I keep her work very limited. Are you taking any more orders for pups or have any dogs for sale at the moment? Kind regards,

The most enjoyable dog I have ever had…everything you would look for in an outstanding stockdog

The most direct thing I can say, is that Ki is the most enjoyable dog I have ever had. He is a wonderful dog and I am thrilled to death with him – smart, biddable, driven with a wonderful, forgiving temperament. In short, he is everything that you would look for in an outstanding stockdog.

He is such a pleasure, that I have already begun making plans with Tully to obtain another pup a few years down the line. After having one of these dogs, I really don’t want to be without one again. I would enthusiastically recommend Campaspe Working Dogs to anyone looking for a source of high quality, working stockdogs.

P.S. I certainly could have put together something much more comprehensive but didn’t know if you had the room. Am always glad to get a chance to say how wonderful Ki is.

Everything Tully advertises his dogs to be with great natural ability

I purchased a pup from Tully (4 months old) about 18 months ago and I have been extremely happy with her.

Lyn has been everything Tully advertises his dogs to be with great Natural Ability, bold and calm and lots of brains; she is very good at handling the most difficult of sheep or situations and equally capable of handling mobs, single sheep and ewes and lambs or anything else I throw at her; I have found her to be easy to train and easy to have around as part of the team…best of all she’s a great mate. I will certainly be going back for my next pup.

Just ordered my third dog…a very tough and hardy line of Border Collie

Just ordered my third dog from Tully. I have found the Campaspe dogs to be a very tough and hardy line of Border Collie. My previous two bitches have been very reliable, they never let me down when things got tough which is something I need when I’m out mustering on my own on a horse.

I like the fact that you don’t need to be a top dog handler because they have a lot of the right instincts and pick things up very quickly. It’s good to know when ordering from Tully I’m guaranteed to get a handy pup. I can highly recommend this line of Border Collie to anyone looking for a good working dog.

Exactly what you advertise your dogs to be

Hi Tully, Hope all is well with you are your pack. Just a quick note to tell you how very happy we have been with Hana. She is such a great natured beautiful dog who is such a larrikin and a much loved mate to us. Working sheep well (despite her dodgy trainer!), very obedient, calm and confident, and a real thinker. She is exactly what you advertise your dogs to be. Thank you very much. Kind Regards

A wonderful experience

Owning and working a well-balanced, intelligent, eager, bold and friendly dog is a wonderful experience.

I have been fortunate to experience this with Campaspe Loch, whom I purchased from Tully 5 years ago. In a one person operation running sheep, all tasks were required of Loch, and he became proficient easily. This includes casting, droving, working big mobs to single sheep, yard work and shed work.

I am very pleased with Tully’s dog, showing a well bred dog, very much suitable to Australian working farm conditions.
