Here's Cooper! The second tri - colour boy of the litter ! He lives up in the Tatamagouche area and enjoys trail walks and beach time ( and from the looks of the picture he doesn't enjoy leaving the beach!)

From Mum and Dad:

Cooper is wonderful! ’m sure most of us are fighting ticks. They seem much worse this year and Cooper loves the woods where we walk but his meds look after him. I’m still picking a few off each night to keep him from digging at himself. He also loves the beach as you’ll see. That also helps keep the ticks down. He has a few friends on our way down to play with. Loves people and other dogs. Hope all is well with you and family and all your dogs. Great to hear from you . S & B

One of the 2 Tri-Coloured Boys is Sailor! It always amazes me how each and every pup in the turned out to be! Any time I get to see Sailor he is always a very happy boy!

From Mum:

Sailor Douglas ♡ Another year of loving you has passed 365 more adventures completed, tons of laughs, hundreds of kilometers walked, oceans, ponds, rivers and streams all swam in. Thousands of sticks thrown, hours of ball games played. What a year this has been! Sailor is such a happy-go-lucky, little dude, he gets comments on the trails about how he looks as if he's always smiling- he does, and is! On adventures he runs ahead and looks back at us once he finds the most amazing view & always willing to pose for a picture at these special places. If you call him a "good boy" he licks his lips, knowing a treat is soon to follow. He loves routine and looks forward to his 9pm pig's ear. No matter where you take him, he's always polite, inquisitive, respectful and welcoming to new people petting him and known by name in a few pet friendly shops. He is not too fond of garbage trucks, or being brushed and wants to run along side bicycles. His recall is phenomenal as long as there aren't any squirrels near by. He never passes by a ball or a giant stick. Always willing to give you a hug and scooch a little closer when he senses you need a little extra loving. We love you little dude. Looking forward to many more adventures and laughs with you. Happy 2nd Birthday to you and the rest of the crew❤️

The other EE Red is golden Kya! She is an island girl herself... all the way on Cape Breton Island! I always love seeing pics of Kya with her wonderful family !

From Mum :

I can’t believe our sweet Kya is two!
Kya’s favourite things:
- water (the hose, water guns, swimming, but only the tub when she gets in to splash & not if I am trying to bathe her)
- balls (of course!)
- cheese & meat (she gets so excited about high value treats that she sometimes struggles to concentrate on what we are asking her to do & just starts cycling through her commands hoping she does the right one asap to gain her reward)
- her family (she is very loyal and clearly conveys that she absolutely loves us as much as we love her)
Some recent things I’ve noticed:
- While it takes her a quite a while to warm up to strangers and she still especially dislikes mail delivery, after working through Karen Overall’s “Relaxation Protocall”, I am so proud of Kya for no longer reacting to knocks at the door! (now, she does bark if she sees someone approaching the house, but the knocking sound is no longer a trigger, which is wonderful progress)
- I think she thinks my sneezes are the equivalent of me barking. She loses her mind when I sneeze and runs to a window to see what I am barking at (at least that’s my guess of why). She doesn’t care if any other family member sneezes… but Mama sneezes are cause for excitement! (she will even run upstairs to check when she’s been napping in the basement. Silly girl!)
- The kids, Kya, and I have been spending a lot of time in the back yard together since the weather has improved; we noticed recently that each time we go out Kya runs directly over to the swingset and stares at the swings until the kids get on them. She’s telling them where they are supposed to be! Herding dogs gotta herd!
- She loves bedtime. Sometimes she’s reluctant to come inside when I call to her, but if I tell her it’s time for “night night” she bolts in enthusiastically. Some evenings she seems to know the time and I find her waiting in her playpen for me to give her her bedtime treat.
- She isn’t always cuddly, but clearly conveys when she wants pets, pawing at us to continue if we stop to ensure the continued touch is desired.

We adore our beautiful girl and are so glad that she’s ours. Happy 2nd birthday Kya, Miles, Sophie, Winston, Fletcher, Sailor, Finn, & Cooper!

Next up is Finn, the Newfie in the crew! Being an EE Australian Red he is a very distinct looking BC. He has been feautured hiding on the Collieology page a few times now and im sure he has stumped more than a few people!

From Mum:

Can’t believe he is two. Fingers crossed he is growing out of the puppy stage! Finn loves swimming and fetching sticks in the water. He then floats like a crocodile as the stick floats down stream to his mama so that I can throw it again. Soccer is his game in the garden and he will bring that back! On the trail the bigger the stick the better. He likes walking with his friend Gucci the whippet. He is like his dad in that he likes to suck on blankets and then give them a little chew. We no longer sleep with a feather duvet! Anything missing in the house I know Finn has gone out the doggy door and taken it to the dog pen. He has appeared again on the collieology page in find the border collie.
He was also the first “customer “ at the Bay Roberts PetValu and received the first VIP box from the store. They love to see him come in covered in mud or sticks!
> I love my boy!

“Miles Cruzin” is the runner of the bunch! I love to hear of his adventures trail running…maybe he should get a Fitbit for his birthday to count his daily steps! I get to see Miles quite a bit , he always looks so happy! Checkout cute video in comments!

From Dad:
It’s hard to believe that Miles is 2 already .. it’s been a whirlwind of fun for the both of us .
He is always excited and eager to go for his runs or play with his ball or his tug rope . I still enjoy our cuddles every morning when I wake up and his little spinny spins when we run together . I couldn’t have asked for a better best friend 💙.

Black & White Sophie lives with two younger IPD siblings on the beautiful Eastern Shore. She is living an amazing full life with swims in the ocean,hikes in the forest, tennis agility…Sophie is living the dream!!

From Dad:

Sophie is awesome. Couldn't of asked for a better companion. She is super confident, playful and always ready to do any activity with exuberance. When meeting strangers she often behaves like they are some long lost family member. Our other two younger In Piper's Dream border collies treat her like a mother figure. Yesterday she hurt her leg somehow and started walking with a little bit of a limp. (I don't think its anything serious) Both Quoddy and Maddie noticed and walked gently beside her monitoring her condition. She is always on their minds and mine as well. I feel so lucky to have such a positive and energetic pup.
Sophie's favourite things: looking for Squirrels in her squirrel tree, watching my aunts cats, trying to herd her German Shepard friend Archer, swimming for balls and sticks, jumping 3-4 feet in the air at my dartboard while I play darts, walks in the woods and eating anything with fish flavour. Oh and getting a mouth full of water from the garden hose no matter the weather.

Next up is our Dartmouth boy, Fletcher. This guy tried sheep herding this year and absolutely loved it! I love seeing him popping up in my feed from Jollytails Dartmouth!

From Mum & Sis:

Our Fletchie boy is 2! This little guy has brought so much joy to our lives over the past couple years. He's a sensitive, intelligent, goofy, cuddly, energetic boy. He loves going to daycare and playing in the pools there or chasing the bubbles. He is always ready for an afternoon at the beach or the park. Fletcher is so social and has many dog and human friends alike. He loves any game that involves a ball, whether it's soccer, herding ball, or a good ol game of fetch. Happy Birthday, Fletcher 🎉💙

Watson lives just up the highway from me so I get visits every once and awhile! He's a very lucky boy to have a great yard and family! With his Holstein pattern colouring, he is a gorgeoues boy!

From Mum:

It's hard to believe that Watson is 2 already! He loves, loves, loves being outside my, no matter the weather, and doesn't understand why the rest of us don't want to be outside 24/7. Frisbee is his favorite game, and he's perfectly happy being the chaser or being chased. He loves a good belly rub or a cuddle, but only for a minute or two, then he needs to be on the move again. Life is never dull when Watson is around.

Beautiful Tri Colour Nessa went to live with canine sister Kribi in Bedford. She is also lucky to have three human siblings and 2 loving parents.

In 2022 I met this lovely family not long after they had moved from France to Halifax. I was at a concert outside at the Grand Prè Centre.

Distracting me from the music was this sweet little pup who looked to be at least part Border Collie... If you know me at all , I just had to go over and introduce myself and start talking all things dog... 2 Falls later in 2024 I received a message that they were interested in adding a second dog to their family and wanted in an IPD pup! It always amazes me how these wonderful people come into my life and become part of my extended family!!

Next up is Tri-Colour Bluey! This little pup has his own boy to run around and play with, I have personally witnessed their wonderful relationship. Again, another pup finding his perfect home and family, I am such a lucky breeder!

From Mum:

Our pup Bluey is oh so loved. He has fit right in with our busy life. A best friend to our little boy. Nothing makes my heart happier than when I see a boy and his dog running around our back yard. Bluey’s favourite things are chasing kitty’s (we have two indoor cats). He chases them, but never hurts them, it’s all about fun for him. He loves to play with any doggy toy! A soccer ball or a ropey toy are his favourite. He LOVES going to his doggy daycare to see his friends. He knows the roads we take on the way over to daycare and now gets super excited as we get closer and closer. One of his favourite drives is taking our son to school, and seeing all of the kids in the school yard. He has completed his first doggy obedience class, and we plan to do more with him. He’s a fast learner. He loves to go for a walk around town, sniffing and exploring. He sleeps on our bed every night, like he’s been there the last 20 years, I love it. He’s a loyal companion for sure. Our hearts became full again once he joined our family, and we are so thankful to have him everyday ❤️
