Just had to vent, getting my puppy on saturday!
It is so exciting! I havn't had a puppy for about, hmm, five **** years! That's just too many to go without a puppy. Plus I'm looking forward to a bit of a training challenge
(someone at my club rather crassly informed me that collies are "dumb as dirt")
Boy will i show her. If i can get the chihuahua's to heel outside I'm pretty sure i can get my collie working nicely.

Lol, Thanks for supporting the collies, i was quite angry with her when she said that (seeing as she KNEW i was getting a Collie puppy) but i'll show her hey.
I'm actually getting a boy (only two days now and im going crazy!).
I'm calling him Azlan, after the lion out of the lion the witch and the wardrobe by C.S Lewis, because i think collies are pretty liony in appearance.

collies are very beautiful dogs, my dad had one when he was younger and said it was the best dog that he ever had. She was REALLY smart. One day she had ran off, and when she came home my grandpa was really mad and he told her to sit, and had basically forgotten about her. Well when he came down to the kitchen the next morning she was still sitting in the same spot she had been told to sit in she hadn't moved an inch.
Ok i've got Azlan. When i went to pick him up he seemed fine, and i sat down with the breeder and discussed alot of things, like his vaccinations and what not. Now that i have him home i have discovered he has a swollen stomach and sleeps way too much for a pup his age. I am very worried and am taking him to the vet tomorrow and contacting the breeder. He seems so lethargic and he had really runny poos.
It's such a dissapointment, but i'm sure he'll come good. Hope and pray.

I wouldn't worry too much. Are you using the same food as the breeder? That might explain the runny poop, or if you started giving him treats etc. Tips was a bit lethargic the first two days too, Boris scared of everything, I think it just takes them a bit to get used to their new home.
Keep us posted... Any pic?

He might have some sort of worms, or something. My puppy had worms when we got her but they gave her some medicine and it cleared right up. He might just still be adjusting to your home. It sometimes take a puppy a few days to get used to their new home and this may just be how he's reacting to the change.
