Hank is just what I was hoping for as a nice blend of Cinder and Khan. He has some eye but doesn't use it all the time. He tends to be a very low heeler, and seems to be somewhat of a natural driving dog, although he fetches well also. 

  He tended to run close at first, but he is widening out gradually and has a great sense of balance. He will steady up on the fetch pretty well. He has started out on close pen work very well, without stress or a lot of biting he could calmly get around in a packed pen of sheep. Although if they don't get out of his way he is not adverse to heeling a bit. He hasn't worked cattle much yet, but when I tried him he was very enthusiastic and took right to it. 

     His personality is just wonderful. Although he will bark at visitors approaching the house with a very deep, almost hounddog like bark, he's basically a very outgoing, loving dog who will be in your lap in no time. He is a goofy, extra biddable, "what can I do for you now? " type dog. He is also completely obsessive about retrieving anything at any time, especially the large Jolly balls. If he can jump and retrieve at the same time he is in heaven. He would probably make a great frisbee dog if I could throw the things worth a darn!
