Bath day! Everyone is very sweet and calm. What a bunch of love bugs.

Squirmin' and wormin'! Personal pupdates sent to parents! 😁

The blue merles are still claimable, as well as 2 B&W (boys, including the white faced tricolor)

09/16/2022

Both litters getting to learn about dirt, leaves and duck feathers. First time out! Please excuse messy faces, they just went swimming in wet food.

More puppy shenanigans

Long awaited pupdates tomorrow!! Sorry for the delay! 💕

Border collies are particularly sensitive in nature and sometimes have a rough adolescence. Thank you all for being such patient, loving families! https://www.facebook.com/1791711724/posts/10218072142153708/?sfnsn=mo

Eevee's Pokémon card 😂

09/02/2022

Oh no! We don't have pupdates because packmomma hurt her back. Sorry guys! Soon!

Instead we will do a puppy spotlight! EEVEE! Eevee is awesome and can be seen helping out her human mom at work, comforting the other dogs when they are under the weather. She has a million friends and her favorite game is fetch!

Smudgee keeps raking in the ribbons! Congrats Sharon! 🎉 (Feydra x Rags)

These little sweethearts have two spots available to be claimed with a deposit. (The red merle is mine! One person currently on the list. The others opted to wait for girls). Ready in early October. A couple of them are showing what might be seal.

Feydra's puppies are all darling love sponges that can be molded into whatever kind of dog you want. They all love to be loved and please their owner - very praise oriented and demonstrative of high emotional intelligence. This line has produced several service and therapy dogs in training, sport, agility, rally, and trial/working herding prospects as well as excellent pets with calm, laid back temperaments!

Feel free to post your Feybee babies and their accomplishments in the comments! 😁

(We also have a spot for a male blue merle on Cindy's litter)

We didn't get very successful pictures today, but welcome Feybee's babies to the world! All boys this time! They are named for the guys from All Creatures Great and Small - James, Tristan and Callum are the black and white, and Siegfried is the red merle that we have decided to keep (she's only had one other and we just adore our bean babies Angus and Tilly!).

Our waitlist decided to pass and wait for girls, which means they will be available! Get your deposit in quick. 😁

Be safe out there, avoid places like dog parks etc. Hopefully they sort this out soon! I'm giving everyone booster shots just in case.

Veterinarians are encouraged to call the Laboratory if they have any questions about sample collection, submission, or diagnostic options and contact MDARD if unusual or reportable illnesses are seen.

The squiggliest of wiggle worms come last! Neither of these guys wanted their pictures taken! We were really surprised to see Blackberry, with no white ruff and a very minimal blaze, especially from Cindy. It will be interesting to see if he develops tri on his face!

08/19/2022

Lil Harvest does not appear to be a tricolor. She does look like she'll have freckles though!

08/19/2022

Double trouble! Clipping nails on these cuties now. Valerian (tricolor blue merle) keeps escaping from the den already and he has very strong motor skills! Orchard (no tri) is very sweet and settles down nicely. The names this round are inspired by our farm and the plants that grow here naturally!

08/19/2022

Say hello to little Basil! I will be posting other pup pics today as well. Basil does appear to have a little bit of cream colored tri under his tail but it's hard to tell.

08/19/2022

Can't wait to welcome home our new baby girl Winter and boy Alfred from Shining C Border Collies! Still missing Astrid but they will help us heal! 💕

Special thank you to Kali for introducing us to your friend Cassidy.

My pretty girl Winter is really maturing! She is by our imported male, IMP Ross who was bred by Ross Games in Wales. She's out of our female Jenna, who is also the mother of Silvie and Luna. I have two merle females also by IMP Ross and out of Luna who are still waiting for their perfect 🏠 ❤️ Wolfe City, Texas

08/17/2022

Update on Cindy's pups, we have six healthy babies! They may develop tri, tough to tell thus far.

2 blue merle boys
Spoken for - congrats Marie Klein in Colorado!
2nd pending deposit

2 b&w girls
Spoken for - Congrats Jeremy Myers and Therese Angelo! I look forward to helping you choose the right pup!

2 B&W boys (one with very minimal white). Congrats to Shelley Cruz! 1 available spot!

I still have 2 spots on Feydra's litter. We will offer additional spots if there are more pups to go around or if someone decides to pass this round.

Feydra's list: Carmin, Rachel, Tina, Deb Adams and Babette (2 may wait)

If you have not made your deposit yet and want to, please do so ASAP, spots will go quickly especially once I post on AKC and gooddog.com this weekend.

Proud to be accepted on gooddog.com. Hopefully we can help fight back against these scammers and puppy mills. Check us out and add your family stories here! https://www.gooddog.com/breeders/darrowby-border-collies-michigan

Cindy had her puppies, more details soon! Still hoping Astrid will come home.

The Cinnamoose wants to dig herself a den under the deck to have her puppies and everyone is trying to help her. It's so cute. She is due on Thursday!

Edit: Cindy is in labor! We have our first pup!

08/06/2022

We didn't know Smudgee got ribbons! 💕 Belated congrats Sharon!

Party time!!! 🎉 We can be your personal dog park!

Darrowby Border Collies, Fenton, Michigan - Come party with the dogs at Darrowby Ducks in Fenton, or play by yourself! Lots of space, nice stuff to sniff and hear and bark at like poultry and...

Our trainer friend looks like she has a fun spot for play time!

I have board and train availability August 15th for 14+ day programs for both rooms!
Please remember I am on vacation August 8-August 13th helping at the county fair. I'll be as responsive as I can be but I will probably be in the arena and tending to the Judge from 8 until at least 4 depending on the size of the classes. If you're local and plan to go, shoot me a wave! If you catch me on lunch or after classes finish I'm happy to answer any questions you have!

Enjoy this photo of Harley that came for a trial overnight stay to ensure he'd be okay for a longer stay when his family needed and of course Miss Rebel who has been a rockstar for her board and train and while here she got over her fear of the pool and causes me to clean it out every day 🤣!
