Yeah she did it. Introducing GCHB H of RH's Merlin's Apprentice, aka Wiccan. We are so very proud of our bred by girl and she is happy knowing that now she can concentrate of fribees and fast cat.

I am going to take pictures of TK’s nose over the next months, years to show how a Merle border collie changes with age. That way you can understand that a pink & black nose on a Merle puppy, will continue to darken over time. The first picture is TK at 2 months, next is 3 months, 5 months and then 7 months

Happy 10th Birthday Skye, it is so hard to believe you are 10 today. You have fulfilled every dream I had for you, such as becoming the first blue merle to show at Westminster and to becoming a bronze Grand Champion. Even now that you are retired, you bring us so much joy everyday. Thank you for producing our girl Wiccan, I know, she is a pain in your butt, but you do love her. I hope we have many more years with you. Also, Happy Birthday to all your siblings, River, Roscoe, Kodiak, and the rest.

It's been a year since you left me, and I still miss you everyday. You would love your grandson, he is so much like you. You left me so suddenly, I never had a chance to prepare, maybe that was better, I don't know. All I know is that I miss you so much and nothing is the same without you. You will always be in my heart. In remembrance to you, GCH. Bayshore Avatar Indyracing Scooter, my beloved Indy.

Sharing again.... please read!
HOW MUCH FOR A PUPPY?
Let me say a few words to you, yes you, the person who writes an email to simply ask the price. The person who calls and after hearing a price surprisedly states: “I can buy a cheaper pup elsewhere”. I also address you; the person who doesn’t care about papers because I want “just a pet”.
No dog is “just a PET”.
Behind every pure bred puppy/dog is a BREEDER. I’m using capital letters to differentiate a breeder from a pet factory or mill. A reputable breeder does not breed dogs without papers, that does not protect the integrity of the breed. Registration (papers) are records of lineage that document bloodline and allow one to research any possible health issues present in the lineage. When you tell a Breeder you don’t care about papers what you’re really telling them is you couldn’t care less about the health of the puppy you just want the cheapest thing you can find! When you select to buy a puppy from a reputable and quality breeder, this breeder is responsible for the health of every pup ; both dogs owned and every pup they’ve sold for its lifetime. This breeder will skip holidays, miss sleeping, and most of their personal house space has been turned into space for their dogs. The truly passionate breeder who loves what they breed, puts their whole heart and soul into it. Not only in puppies that are sold, but also in each client who owns a piece of their heart and now is a member of their extended family. This does not take into account any puppy/dog who might get sick or need extra help to thrive. Breeders worry about their babies after they leave and will take one back without question.
A breeder will get their hands dirty, often covered in everything accompanied with birthing. Because that’s what life is about...In the middle of birth and death is life. The wheel that keeps turning. A breeder will do tests, echos, xrays, analysis, emergency c sections, vaccinations, register litters, research pedigrees, deworm, as well as microchip their puppies and get them evaluated by specialists.
Last but by no means least, a breeder CHOOSES the family lucky enough to have one of their puppies. Yes, you read that right. A true breeder chooses who they sell to because they are not making money off the sale. There is no compensation that can offset the investment a Breeder has made so they need to be confident its the right fit. Many times saying more no’s then yes...A good Breeder will have different criteria for those wanting to carry on their bloodline, why? Because breeding is not a responsibility to ever be taken lightly, it’s a lifestyle choice set aside for ONLY the few devoted people willing to sacrifice.
Because a dog is never “just a pet” it’s the Breeder’s legacy, a little boy’s best friend, a little girls protector, an elderly persons therapy, a member of the family, someone’s whole world!!!

Wiccan was a rockstar last week at the York, PA Shows, being awarded Select Bitch 4 out of 5 days and amassing 17 grand champion points. This was the first time she was away from home for more than 1 night and handled by two of my best friends and handlers, Mickala Nicole Berta and Lisa Kocher Pontius (Pictured) with judge Larry Adams. She is now more than halfway to her Bronze grand championship. Love our bred-by monster, Momma Skye is very proud!
