Hey, do you hear that sound? Sounds like a growl only it’s coming from my stomach! Weird, huh? Yeah it’s cuz my food bowl is empty! Fill it human, before I waste away!! Sentiments from our slightly chunky Paris 💙😂

Our old man Logan wanted to pop in and wish you all a Happy Valentine’s Day! Can you believe he will be 7 years old here in just a few months! He’s still the sweetest ever! Logan has been retired from our breeding program but he is still a wonderful guy to have around ❤️🐾

Puppies had their eye checks today and my friend Sarah came with her puppies and we team tackled this job! 12 puppies checked and ready to go! Now…people come pick up your puppies because the temptation to keep one or two is very real!! I’m gonna miss these babies 😫

Puppies are 9 weeks today! They start to go to their new homes tomorrow. It’s been a wonderful and exhausting 9 weeks! This evening we clipped the nails of 28 paws, bathed 7 puppies that are way too big for my kitchen sink, dried, trimmed, and loved on each and every puppy! I was soaked, Pete was soaked, the puppies were soaked and my kitchen floor was soaked!!

It’s been a ride, but we all survived and tomorrow new families will start their collie puppy journey! My advice to them all - when your puppy is running around with the zoomies, soaking you with their bath water, or chewing on things they shouldn’t…be thankful you don’t have 7 of them doing it all at once 😂😂😂

Harris is in ear jail tonight! He’s not sure how he feels about it 😂 but we had to get those crazy things under control!

One of the important must do’s of being a breeder is getting those puppies microchipped!

Our puppies are chipped with a FiNano microchip that is first registered to me! Once the puppy goes home, the microchip can be transferred to the new owner but I will stay on as a secondary contact in the event that the owner cannot be contacted!

So, how do you think Harris did for his chip sesh? I think he’s a very brave boy - and peanut butter definitely works as a distraction!

Btw, Is your pet microchipped?

I have to redeem these guys a bit after my zoomie video! They don’t run around constantly but they sure do know how to have fun when it’s time! Here’s a little clip of them just hanging out and Hubert learning to “talk” to Pete! We love these guys!

We can only last a short while outside with 5 smoothies! The rough puppies could care less but the short coat babies start to shiver after a bit. Nevertheless, it’s a beautiful winter scene when they are all outside checking out the big world!

Harris has control of the new toy and his sibs want to take it over! Good luck puppies! Somehow this paper towel roll is more entertaining than any other toy at their disposal!

Learning to communicate
Learning to communicate

Puppy culture talks about manding. Manding behavior is a tool that gives puppies a way to communicate. It need not be contingent upon receiving an item in return - like food or a treat. Those items are better used in training which should happen much later for a puppy. Manding is not a command that you ask for, rather it is a way for the puppies to communicate with you. And they learn that communication based on what you reinforce. When it is time to get out of the puppy pen and have playtime, puppies are VERY excited. We are working on reinforcing the behavior of puppies communicating that they are ready to come out by siting patiently. The puppies who sit patiently are the first to receive my attention. The puppies who are jumping up on the gate do not get my attention. Keep in mind, they are only 6 weeks old and we aren’t quite at mastery! But you can see the light bulbs starting to turn on! They understand that in order to get the attention of the human, they need to sit and wait patiently. Once they do that, they are acknowledged and after that, they get out of the pen for playtime. All of them will eventually sit for this. Some just have it figured out so they sit rather quickly. It’s so cool to see their little brains working!

Our first time with the snuffle mat! Finding our food makes it more fun!!

These guys are so fun to watch! Lovely little puppies! But sometimes winter puppies do begin to feel cooped up! Hopefully this cold weather will break and they can at least play in the snow soon! #bluehavencollies

Avoiding the “Attention Monster Puppy”
Avoiding the “Attention Monster Puppy”

Puppy Culture talks about “Attention Monster Puppies” and how attention is the mother of all behaviors. Meaning what you pay attention to is what you will get! One of the ways we combat reinforcing that “attention monster” energy is to raise our puppies front and center in our living room. You may think this is counterproductive because they always have access to seeing us. However, the opposite is true. Our puppies have access to seeing us interact with them and also seeing us ignore them. They learn that just because the human is present it does not necessarily mean the human is ready to interact. What we are avoiding here is having a group of puppies erupt into yelping every time we walk by, or have dinner, or are visible, etc., which will translate to the same when they go to their new homes as long as their new owner continues this training. With our setup, puppies get adequate playtime, and they also get adequate ignore time! We are setting puppies up to be patient and to understand that there is a time for them and that time is not ALL of the time. Watch me enjoy my coffee while puppies wait for their breakfast kibble to soak and soften. They can see me, they are waiting patiently ❤️ You can read more about PC Attention Monster Puppies here https://madcapuniversity.com/blogs/articles-and-product-reviews/attention-monster-puppies?srsltid=AfmBOoqP1DLn8Vw6Ruc_98OGtAC6JU7BSO_xgXNb7axEJHjqAdiLFL8Z

Blue Haven Collies

Collies have been at the heart of our lives since 2013. We have truly been blessed with our Collies as they are of a breed that is historically known to be gentle, smart, and obedient. My life as a breeder did not start out with Collies though.

As a teenager, I helped my mother with her business of breeding Sheltie pups. I learned so much about the entire process and became bitten by the desire to become a breeder myself one day. Although, I still love my mother’s Shelties to this day, Collies have moved to the forefront of our lives and have made every moment just so much sweeter!

Not only do I understand the importance of improving the health of the breed, I also understand the importance of maintaining the breed standard throughout the breeding process. I have spent a great deal of time researching and tracking down a suitable Sire and Dam for our breeding program whose combined genetics will produce very healthy pups. My research continues and we have some very exciting news to share with you that will be coming soon!

With our current Sire and Dam, we have had two litters over the past four years and are planning another litter this spring/summer of 2018. Our puppies are born and raised in our home, right in our living room! Our puppies are held, rocked on their backs, and prodded and poked so that they are completely ready for anything and everything you can throw at them! They will be well accustomed to human interaction.
