Still Waiting...

So no puppies yet.. its SO cold here right now so we are really keeping an eye on Shelby.. we've moved her to her heated kennel.. But I'm still a stress case.. She isn't due until the 4th, but I'm thinking the way she is nesting she will come sooner! Ill keep you posted :) with hopefully a puppy picture

 

We love all of our puppies and are excited for this new litter coming in the New Year!!

Check back for puppy pictures SOON!!

Fingers Crossed!!

We don't usually breed in back to back cycles..

However, the only way we can manipulate the timing is to breed back to back..

So occasionally if the mamma has completely recovered and is in excellent health,
we will breed back to back.. So far we do not have a confirmed pregnancy,
but it is still early.. and its Shelby ..

We are hoping for puppies to be born the end of January in 2015!

That would mean they could fly in March.. :) Great News eh?

All of our puppies are doing fantastic in their new homes and we are excited to see some updates and  pictures while we wait for these new babies to be born..

Be sure to check back!!

Empty Nesting..

Here is a picture of Calamity that her new family sent me!

Her new name is Lily and she is spoiled!

Here she is meeting her Border Collie sister Taylor..

Who is teaching her how to obey the 'rules'

Who could resist this cute face! Thanks for the updated pictures Katelyn!!

Annie flew to her new home yesterday!

She did really well and is happy in her new home!

Annie's new name is Yetti.. And she has stolen the hearts of her new family..

 

Bella has been at her new home for a week now..

She is living on a sheep ranch in Wyoming

and her new name is Dee Dee.

She loves to ride on the floor in their car..

This was taken on their road trip home.

Rooster flew to his new home yesterday too! He flew like a champ and has fit right in with his new family in California!

His new name is Bernie.. And it really suits him.

He is getting completely spoiled with all these kids to love!

 

 

 

And.. Here is Lillie, whose new name is Hazel.

We typically don't babysit puppies..

But her new family had a trip planned and it has been so fun having her here to visit!

She has been played with until she was completely worn out..

You can tell we are missing the other furbabies and she is getting the blunt of it! 

Here is Bill at the airport!

We kept him out of his kennel as long as we could because he had a really long flight!  

 

 

Bill's new name is Jaxx and after his family had a 5 hour wait at the airport, because of a weather delayed connecting flight, he is happy in his new home and all is well!

8 Weeks Old..

This is a sad day!! We went to the Dr. and all of these just under10lb furbabies got a clean bill of health to fly..They DID NOT like their kennel.. OR the vet for that matter.. lol.. My regular vet was on vacation so I saw the other one in the office (who was great in all of this). The nurses were trying to tell me my puppies were only 7 weeks old and couldn't fly until next week.. So after I pulled out my calendar and actually counted the weeks with them they agreed that these pups are 7 weeks and 6 days old.. THEN they still got the certificates wrong.. So needless to say this was all while three puppies howling very loudly..

 

SO- we got home and I snapped a couple of pictures of these 8 week old rollie pollie babies and thought I'd share! Its been a crazy week so I am sorry for not getting more pictures posted. They mostly get one on one time these days because its too stressful for me to try to contain all three in the 'safe zone' of my yard.. They want to see everything and there is a lot to see on our 3 acres! It has been REALLY hot here so yesterday we set up a 'swimming pool' for them to slash in and boy did they get muddy!

 

ROOSTER is going to California, they are thinking his new name will be BERNIE which I love.. Happy go lucky, playful in a laid back way.. Perfect for him.. Can't wait to hear if it sticks!

 

He is a hard one to photograph. Every time I get down on the ground to take his picture he thinks he needs to come give me a kiss, which is awesome, but hard to photograph!

 

 

ANNIE is also going to California! First time I've ever had pups go to the same airport at the same time! Pretty awesome.. They are going to be calling her YETTI which is a darling snow faced baby name!!

Annie has a very strong sense of people. She is very gentle with little kids and can be a playful bouncy puppy with older kids! She is going to fit right in at her new home!!

BILL is going to Florida- Where his family is anxiously waiting for him!! hey are going to name him JAXX which, just like this rambunctious little pup, fits him perfectly. I think of playing Jacks when I was a kid and when you drop them they kindof bounce every which way.. Just like our BILL :)

Bill has a very photogenic face! You can't help but give him kisses and he always returns the favor! 

We are sure going to miss these puppies! They are a ton of work and really take a lot of time. But it is worth every minute and is so rewarding! Keep your fingers crossed that the weather is in our favor! That Delta customer service reps are in a good mood! And that everything goes smoothly tomorrow!!

ROAD Trip!!

This pretty girl is on her way to her new home in Wyoming! Her new family decided it would be more cost effective to drive than fly, and they got to pick her up a whole week sooner!

She got a bath and a blow dry.. And BOY was she puffy!!

We said our goodbye's.. Got in a little playtime and snuggles..

And off we went! We met her new family in Heber City, Utah.. It was just about an hour and a half drive for us. Belle handled her first car ride like a champ! Slept the whole way!

Her new mom drove 8 HOURS to pick her up!

Belle instantly loved her!! And now they are on their way back to Wyoming where she will learn the ropes of their sheep farm and be able to hang with their other border collie Levi! Last I heard Belle's new name was going to be Dee Dee or Kloe.. I'll keep you posted!  

We will miss you an your sweet puppy kisses Belle Star!!

ROOSTER Request :)

Roosters new family is dying to see some footage of their cute rollie pollie puppy! It had been raining and all of the puppies were wet and muddy this morning. But even dirty puppies are cute!!

Mama wanted to play for a minute too!

 

The sweet annoying background music is of course, our Maggie.

 She just HATES it when w are outside and she is not with us!

Shelby is such a gentle mamma! She loves her babies and its a little hard on her when they go to their new homes. We always make sure to spoil her extra during her adjustment!

This chubby cuddler is a sweetie! He adores kids and loves attention.

He is laid back, pretty happy go lucky, loves to play and likes to explore!

 

Getting a drink, and getting read to pounce! 

 

6.5 Weeks old!

There are only 4 puppies hanging out with us right now. All of them have been reserved and will be going to their homes next Thursday! Here are updated pictures. Annie & Rooster are from this morning, Belle's were from last night and Bill has his own post, which were taken Saturday.  

 

 

ROOSTER is a fun loving, playful but cuddly sweet heart! He is a uniquely marked red & white rough coat with tri-markings! He is adventurous, likes to explore, is pretty independent.. AND has a very well rounded personality!

It is impossible not to LOVE this face!
My husband is getting pretty attached to this furbaby of ours!
he likes to pal around with us, no matter what we are doing..  

we LOVED the 'chewing' face so we had to post it on here!!

Video is hard to get  of these guys! They are either running to me or away from me..

Here are some short clips so you can see him!

I'm kissing and whistling to Rooster,

which is making our Magpie nuts in the background.

Border Collies are not typically 'barking' dogs.. They are great watch dogs though!

They will bark when people come over etc.

 

 If we were to keep him we would call him Buddy.. It has just has kind of stuck.

And he is our little buddy!! He will make the perfect addition to any home!

Rooster will come to a kiss, whistle or a 'good boy'..

Apparently, eating a web was more important!

 

ROOSTER is SOLD! Rooster will be going to live with a nice family with a bunch of kids to keep him company! They are really excited about their new puppy!! His new home will be in California! The funny thing is in all of my years flying puppies, I've never had them go to the same airport! Annie & Rooster will be able to fly next to each other on the plane! Lucky puppies!!

 

 

ANNIE is as sweet as they come! Playful, spunky with such a fun personality!

She will run off to play and always come back to check in..

She is all of the kids favorite because of her unique white face!

And she is such a puffy cotton ball of a puppy!

 

She is really good at coming to kisses and a whistle!

 

Here she is climbing into may lap, because I kissed to her trying to get her to look at me!

and she decided she would rather have a snuggle than a picture..

 

ANNIE is SOLD. Her new home will be in California! They are thinking of calling her Yetti, which I LOVE!! She reminds me of a polar bear, but she is a girl, so you can't really call her Bear, Yetti fits! of course their new family might change their mind when they meet her.. We will keep you posted! 

BELLE has really come out of her shell! She is a fun, loving and spunky!

We just love this cute little puff ball to pieces!

 

 These pictures were taken last night. We were all just hanging out playing with the pups!

 Belle really likes to pay attention to everything that's going on around her. She loves people and always comes and checks in for some snuggles.

My son is not a huge fan of the puppy teeth. So he built a 'fort' to keep them out.

He decided he was ok with puppy 'kisses' though!

BELLE is SOLD and her new home will be in Wyoming! Her new family is driving to pick her up next weekend!! They are thinking Dee Dee or Chloe for her forever name.. super cute! Im sure they will have to meet her to decide..
