Freya x Leo puppies at 2 weeks. In honor of dad's breeder, whose dogs all have Italian call names, we've named this litter after Italian desserts.
They're a few days behind the other litter and just 14 days today, so eyes aren't all open yet.
We've spent the first 2 weeks doing twice daily weigh-ins, daily individual cuddle sessions and early neurostimulation. Not 1 of Freyas puppies needed supplementation and they gained weight in leaps and bounds. We did loose 1 rough boy early on to a maternal accident. In all my years breeding this is only the second time I've had a mom lay on a puppy. It's heartbreaking.

Crumpet x Phoenix puppies are 2 weeks old. Time for introductions.
Please meet the Potato litter (yes, you all guessed correctly). We jokingly call Crumpet a potato due to her solid compact brown body. It only seemed right to name the puppies after her nickname.
We have intermittently supplemented Hashbrown who was only 5.5oz at birth, but she has kept up with all the bigger puppies. I'm embarrassed to say that in the immediate haze of post whelping sleep deprivation I thought she was a rough. She didn't look like the others. Well, she's not. She's pure for smooth.. lacking the heavier short undercoat the other smooths in the litter have lead me to assume she was a rough. @

While we've been sitting on puppies some people (both named Deb) have been working hard.

Huge congratulations to Deb and rough collie Reign on ending first quarter as the #1 agility collie.

And a round of applause for Deb and her smooth boy Gent who finished his RN with a first place and picked up his second Novice obedience leg with a 2nd place.

They make it look so easy, but there is so much work and love and patience behind these dog owner partnerships. .

If you guessed 7 on either x ray you were correct! This weekend Crumpet presented us with 7 puppies (5 sable and 2 tri) in 4 hours during daylight. 5 boys and 2 girls.
Freya also presented us with 7 tri puppies in 4.5 hours with 5 girls and 2 boys. Moms and puppies are all doing well. Photos and more information to follow when time allows. Our hands are very, very full- in the best possible way.

Weekend Congratulations to Reign and Deb on their triple Q yesterday. Keep wearing that lucky shirt!! That's number 13 towards Mach2. And to Mavis and Natalie on their therapy dog certification. Mavis works with her mom in the local elementary school helping children. Can't think of a better place for a collie!!

Yes, we do have puppies coming. Anyone care to take some guesses? Second one is advanced level as the babies are a bit earlier along.
