Maybel's puppies have arrived!

This will be Holidays last litter.  Holiday is Jessica's "Heart Dog" and is the ideal we set our breeding goals to achieve. Her kind and gentle nature that loves all animals and children makes her so easy to put in any environment without fear or anxiety. Due to these traits, her first litter had a disproportionate number of puppies who had the right temperament for service/therapy work.  Two of those pups found homes who tapped into that potential, and they are currently serving their families well.

This being Holidays second and last litter we wanted to make sure we chose well.  In this circumstance we chose two sires.  We didn't want any available eggs left unfertilized.  We chose two genetically clear boys.

The first boy we chose was "Bonsai" Reg. Bred for Brilliance Bonsai, a Border Collie with a bearded coat. Bonsai is super chill, with very low energy, and full health testing.  He is 21" inches tall and 40 lbs.  Do not be misled by these action shots of Bonsai. The breeder and guardian let us know getting these movement shots required a huge amount of energy, on their parts, to attain. This pairing will produce puppies with coats much like the sires but less extreme. While we will breed away from this coat type in the future, they are less likely to trigger allergies, in some people, and typically shed less. 

Bonsai's breeding contract was ending, and a neuter appointment had been set which led us to choosing a dual sired litter so these genetics could be tapped into before the opportunity was gone.

Holidays last date was with "Hickory" Colorado HashKnife Bow, an Old Time Scotch Collie.  If any eggs remained unfertilized, these two would produce perfect little OTSC Puppies in type and temperament.   Hickory weighs around 50 lbs. and stands 22" tall. He is genetically clear and has a very sound and gentle nature. Instinctively kind and thoughtful to animals without any prompting or correction. He is a beloved guardian and protector of his farm.    https://app.embarkvet.com/pet/0e23693b-5bd7-40e2-b4df-5c6ef534d23d/about
