Up to date CDC info on bird flu. It is not species specific, it has affected dairy herds in OR & it has been in humans & pets as well...Thankfully, we've been trained by Covid as to how to prevent the virulent spread of disease...The screenshot below is an interactive map showing June 2, 2025 reportage.

Here is my queen and 2 of her princess-girls! This footage was taken this morning! Can you believe how great Taffy looks (she is 9)? May she bless me with many more years of her presence. Taffy's girls are so fantastic! They're not available, I just thought I'd share them with you for fun!

A bit of admin. Bird Flu is now making headlines dramatically. It has moved swiftly down the east coast via water fowl...into FL...it has been seen for the first time ever in cranes (NOOOO!!!!!!)...& is wiping out  poultry flocks by the millions in AZ. It has swept down the OR coast destroying thousands of brown pelicans. I'm def closed here to ALL visitors. I don't want my precious pet hens to be infected. Thank you for respecting my biospheric lockdown.

Any Collie boys purchased from me will be either delivered free-of-charge halfway (ish) by Foxglove Collies (if in OR or WA); or Annie Balambao (the queen of pet transport) will collect & deliver your new dream dog to you for 1.00$ per mile (ish) per her schedule.

All Collies depart my home bathed, groomed & scissored.

Happy is available to a perfect home! Sired by 'Twas A Possibility (click here for Posse's testing) & out of Van-M Taffy Apple (click here for Taffy's testing). He is ROYALLY bred (if you admire the heirloom Collie) as I purchased both Posse & Taffy from the Vanembden family back east. To this day, Van-M is utilizing Posse sons of their own breeding program. Have you seen a more gorgeous guy? Did I mention he is CEA clear? Sweet, loving, kind & fun....he is a delightful Collie-boy in every way!
Our fav ground transporter (Annie Balambao) has started her own business "Continental Trails Pet Transport" she still has the same # (505-301-8469)...she still lovingly transports one pet at a time. She can also still be booked by Tami at Platinum Pet. Please text Annie for a quote and expect to pay roughly $1.00 per mile.

Joni is as required for me as water, food, beer, shelter, chocolate, coffee, kindness, books, dogs, ancient beads, butter, great music, brilliant engagement, beauty, views & vistas, uncommon sense, rain, nag champs & birds. I think Vinca simply felt that the album was too psychologically generous. That's what I think....

Wiggi is an amazing boy. He is simultaneously my easiest & most difficult Collie all at once! He is happiest indoors & then taken outdoors into shade only. He loves his crate, sleeps by my bed every night & is as sweet as he can be. He is a lothario when bitches are in season...but, who can blame him? I bought him as an older puppy from a breeder in NM & then never used him!  Smashing movement & a great DMS score. I removed Wiggi from Good Dog advertising due to the amount of kooks who've inquired. Wiggi deserves an eclectic home capable of brushing him daily & providing raw meat &  a high-qual kibble (or home cooking entirely). He is big & wonderful in every way. Five star homes only. *ATTACHED YARDS ARE A MUST!

The girls want their scrambled eggs....NOW!!! Thank you to my wondrous, miraculous hens for making it all possible!
