Colour: Dark Sable, Mahogany undercoat
Carrier: Red, Possibly Blue Dillution

Markings: None, Small symmetircal cow lick up the bridge of the nose.
Bite: Scissor, Full Dentition
Drive: She has high prey drive, when appropriate, moderate food drive, and low defense drive.
Temperament and Disposition: Henna is a very calm, outgoing dog with a stable temperament. She is ball crazy and will fetch endlessly in any environment, she enjoys tugging,  and remains calm and watchful in extreme situations - she is a very balanced dog! She is excellent with young children and other dogs - she has HIGH prey drive for sheep, and excels at herding and driving.
Critique: Henna has an exceptional front assembly, shoulder layback, neck and top line. She is a very feminine bitch with medium bone. Her head planes, ear set and size are correct and she has exceptional movement. She is very fast and agile. Unfortunately, Henna broke her rear left leg as pup and it is therefore slightly mishappen.  The leg is completely fuctional, but does not match her right rear leg perfectly in shape and angle. Otherwise, it has no effect on breeding or working ability.
Recommendation for Breeding: Good.
