The new brood



Mike, handsome, huge and lazy

We tried to have Collie fixed a number of times, but our vet, Enrique conspired against it and would not rest until he had pimped her out. The lucky fellow was Corbata, a very handsome, large border collie (as opposed to Collie's smaller size).

Patch


On the day we were flying out for 2 weeks, Collie popped the 5 puppies in our living-room, under the fireplace, a suitable cave-like spot. Thus, we left happy but heartbroken at the same time.

Spot


It's now been 2 months (today) and we have just given away my favorite, Spot, and Laika. Someone who had asked for two puppies backed down a couple of days ago, so Stu and Patch are still with us and waiting for takers. Mike is staying. He's huge and lazy.

Laika was previously named La Traumada because she whined a lot, but dropped the whining and is now very adventurous...

Stu, as in Stuart Little

The old reigning queen as seen in full page ads in various media:

Oh, so cute! It must be hard to watch them leave.

My sister and her husband have two border collies, now aged around 12 and 13. In their breeding years they produced three litters. Now Sam and Pete have family and friends all over Queensland with little Jessies and Busters.
