Hiya
Well after speaking to a couple of breeders and doing a lot of research, we decided a Border Collie would fit into our family quite well. One of the fantastic breeders we spoke to advised us of a litter that was due in a few weeks that she thought could suit our names. So I spoke to the breeder on the phone, she was really nice and everything seemed great. The mum, who is called Wish, I'm not sure if she is a champion or anything, but I know the dad is definately, and the mum has competed in agility and also conformation I think.
They seemed really nice, and the litter was born on Tuesday. I spoke to them last night, and they say they have a puppy that could be suitable for us. She is black and white with a white stipe on her back, so she can't be shown. However, we hope to do alot of sports with her when she is the right age! Obviously, we have to go and see her, which we will be doing when the pups are three weeks, and at that time we can meet the dad and mum so that's good. Basically just wanted to check if everything seems ok, because they seem like really good breeders but I just anted to make sure.
She will come home at the start of December, a bit close to Christmas I know, but Christmas this year will be quiet for us and also it will be pretty cose to the Christmas holidays. We plan to socialise like crazy, and already have a cratethat we used for our other dog.
That's another question, any tips on introducing them to each other? She's really laid back, loves dog etc but she might get seriously jealous, because she is very attached to me, and follows me around from room to room. Any tips?
In fact, any tips in general? Or good websites full of information? Anything is appreciated. Does the breeder seem ok? Website - http://www.geocities.com/starsideuk/
If you click on Latest news and then the link to the blog thing, there are picture of two of the puppies
Sorry this is so long
