It is with great saddness that we saw this fine dog pass away in December 2010. Owned by Harry Stangel, Rocky fathered four of Betsy's five litters and all were outstanding puppies. Rocky was out of Al Vieira’s dogs Diamond Ben and Rosie Diamond. He was both smart and fearless. Whether gathering, driving, or sorting, he always knew exactly what the objective was and exactly where he needed to be in order to help. Rocky was 45 lbs and 20.5 inches. We were fortunate to keep a Rocky x Betsy pup from the last litter. We call him "Howdy" and you can learn more about him through the tabs on the right.
