Smooth Collie pictures!

[Spiritwind]

Just thought I'd share some of the newest photos of my Smoothie litter

They were born end of July, was a co-bred litter with some breeder friends of mine in Georgia. I am the breeder/owner of their mother (Paris - CH Spiritwind Barely An Angel) but the co-breeders are the ones I bought Paris' sire from years ago... so they always loved Paris and decided to do a co-breeding with me...

They are now 12 wks old. I have 4 of the puppies - 1 tri male, 3 sable merle girls. The Co-breeders took the blue male, blue female and sable merle male...

My pick girl, Sage (sable merle), at 10 wks

My 3 girls... Roxie, Stella and Sage - at a puppy match at 10 wks of age

All 4 gang up on Hannah

Flint - the tri boy - 10 wks

I'm in Georgia! I had a heck of a time finding a good collie breeder here when I was looking for one a couple years ago.

I'm in Georgia! I had a heck of a time finding a good collie breeder here when I was looking for one a couple years ago.

I know of a couple GOOD breeders in Georgia actually, they both live in the Atlanta area... well in that general area... though only one that I know has a website, and they haven't bred a litter for a few years (have a young daughter at home, so they have taken a few years off to raise their own family) but they own a full sister to my Paris (CH Spiritwind Barely An Angel) that needs just 1 single point to finish her championship.

The other breeders (the ones that co-bred this litter with me) I know don't have a website anymore, and actually they are an older couple (the husband is an AKC judge) and don't breed often. Actually they pretty much stopped breeding, and just showed their dogs.. until they decided to co-breed this litter with me. But I did the breedings, whelped and raised the litter to 8 wks, when we did our picking....

I also know of a few in SC.. and NC (I'm in NC)... the sire of the puppies lives in NC his name is CH Deep River Bow and Arrow.

OMG, Flint is SO HANDSOME! Thanks for posting!

Thanks! I think Flint is a very handsome boy! He is really maturing nicely. I think he is going to be a very proud, masculine boy!! A little high in the rear at this age, but that is to be expected, his mother (and her father) did the same thing at this age... Unfortunately his new home fell through (family is dealing with some unexpected health issues) so he is hanging out here until the right one comes along. Planning to start taking him and his sisters to training classes starting in a couple weeks!!!.... He is a really fun, smart puppy!

Lovely Puppies with happy expressions. Very much enjoyed seeing them. Thank you!

OMG, so cute! I have such a soft spot for collies - my mom had one when I was a baby. His name was my first word and I used to hold on to his fur and he'd take little steps with me when I first started walking.

Flint is adorable, and Hunter looks so handsome in that picture! They're all lovely.

 

[Spiritwind]

Thanks everyone!

I'm rather proud of them.. I think they are beautiful! Love these guys! Super smart... fantastic little personalities.. fun puppies!!

My 3 girls... Roxie, Stella and Sage - at a puppy match at 10 wks of age

Oh my gosh! Look at those faces, they are so sweet. <3 <3

Are holding on to all four?

Edit: As in keeping them, not literally holding on to them. :rofl1:

 

[moxiecollies]

Nice puppies! Sage has a beautiful rear and I love the expression on Chip. Flint does come off as a confident male, I love it. Very nice! Congrats on such lovely puppies

Haha.. no, Flint was supposed to leave a couple weeks back but things ended up not working out for what would have been his new owners.... so he is looking for a loving home...

Sage isn't going anywhere. One of the other girls should be leaving in a couple weeks to a show home. A person I've known for a few years. She has never had a Collie, but has decided she wanted one to show, but she also wants to do other things with her. She has done service dog training and puppy raising for service dog programs in the past. She used to work for the handlers I work for now.... I told her she could have her pick of the other two girls.... whichever one she doesn't pick I'll probably hold onto for a while... as I really like all 3 girls.

Nice puppies! Sage has a beautiful rear and I love the expression on Chip. Flint does come off as a confident male, I love it. Very nice! Congrats on such lovely puppies

Thanks!! Sage and Chip were my picks of the litter.... though I'm very happy with the whole litter!!
