Happy New Year from Tuffy at Border Collies by Karen.

09/05/2022

Hard to believe that one year ago today I had a vet tell me I had to put this little pup down because he was going to be miserable and have nothing but pain and constant infections with his back feet being gone. I would think when I see him happily following the tractor when we do chores and running around with his sister that I made the right decision to give him a chance. He has no idea he has no back feet and should not be able to do what he does. Love my Tuffy boy.

I have 2 female puppies still available from the summer litters. They have had their first shots and vet check , also these pups are BAER tested for hearing as their dad was deaf but both passed and have great hearing. I am selective as to where the pups go so if you are interested let me know and I will send you the puppy questionnaire. The one pup Yang is a mostly white female that was born Aug 17/21, her brother Yin has already gone to his new home. The other pup,Red, is a red and white female that I hand reared as her litter list their mom a 3 days of age due to a botched C-section so I will be very picky as to where she goes as I have raised her for 8 weeks and have a stronger bond than with the parent raised pups.

Edit: Red is sold and going to her new family later this week!!!🥰🥰

Yang is a mostly white, black and white female Border Collie. She has had a vet check and first shots. Also she has had a BAER test for hearing. The only reason she is being offered for sale at a little older age is that we had 2 litters to get hearing tested and so I held the first litter a couple....

Found a pair of small dog Booties that fits Tuffy really well so then yesterday he learned how to run outside on the grass.

Another very sad day today as I unexpectedly lost my dear sweet Casper. He has definitely taken a huge chunk of my heart with him and I am extremely heartbroken 💔 😭. It will be hard to imagine him not being here, he was a special soul that was taken way too soon.

The three little orphans resting comfortably in their playpen after a good feeding. Thankfully these little angels took to the bottle very quickly and are thriving and gaining weight better than when Duchess was feeding them. Even little Tuffy my injured baby is gaining weight finally and trying to catch up with his sisters.

Today has been another tough day. Ran into Edmonton to get bandaging supplies for the little puppy with the injured feet and when we got home the mother, Duchess, was dying as her stitches from the C-section completely opened up and she had her insides on the outside. She passed away this evening, she will be missed but now I am hand-rearing 3 little babies as well so I guess sleep will be a thing of the past for the next few weeks. RIP dear sweet Duchess.

With some of the activity that has been happening on the farm such as foal watch for a month and an injured stallion to doctor foe a month I forgot to lost pictures of jersey & Caspers babies. Her are pics of Yon and Yang.

Been a long last couple of days. Duchess started whelping yesterday morning at 12:08am. She had a pretty red and white female, nearly 4 hours later at 3:57am I was able to pull a white and red Merle male who I was sure was dead.as his back feet devolved when I tried pulling him ( he is alive and a real fighter so we are giving him a chance and see how it goes ). By 7:30 with no more pups but heartbeats heard with my Doppler we headed into town, at 8:30 am on the drive in she had her 3rd pup, a pure white female. I continued to a vet as I didn’t bring my Doppler so wasn’t sure there were any left. After 2 shots of oxytocin and still no pups at about noon she headed into surgery for a C-section. The last pup was a beautiful red Merle female but was sadly stillborn. Now I’m on watch to make sure she is good with pups as yesterday she ignored them and daily bandage changes for Tuffy the little male and meds for him and mom. Pups and mom are doing well and im bushed.
