Nature Boy ("Cloud") & Merle Haggard were bathed today...all poop & food whisked away & poof! What beautiful puppies! They, at 1 month of age are just delightful...thriving on their new fave flavor of Rockster (venison)...
Incidentally, we have MH priced at an investment-level price point.

That's your boy, D...!

He's a VGB...("very good boy")...

The puppies in Bleu's litter & 1 member of Taffy's litter had their wellness exams today. All was perfect. 
​
We also worked on de-sensitising Bleu's puppies to the stress associated with solid crates, in this case our Gunner. Did you know that Gunner is the only crash tested crate out there of any merit? The Gunner is our only method of automotive transport for our dogs...we would not think of having them in anything else...or worse...nothing.
​
Can you guess which one of our merle puppies was named "Nature Boy"?....

We're loving Rockster...& you will too! In addition, we've posted pics of equipment & tools we can't be without! We're so busy with the pups...what fun watching them ever-metamorphose.

A bit of housekeeping (we apologize for being redundant, as these instructions have always existed under "purchasing info") but, I'm quite wordy...:

1) Applications are REQUIRED (& always have been) to be considered for a puppy... the application exists solely (as stated on this site) at GoodDog under our profile. You may apply by clicking the "apply to breeder" button. GoodDog is not only our application platform, but also our sole payment platform. Our guarantee exists there as well & requires signatures of acceptance from both parties. GoodDog holds all of our documentation, including: the puppy application, contract, guarantee, all email exchanges between purchaser & seller, all payments, & all health documentation. This has been our protocol since we began breeding Collies! The application provides me with loads of info & allows me to check out the potential home very thoroughly...in fact, I start out with Google street view...& county deeds...& social media....all responsible folks who love their puppies do this!

2) Pricing is $1700.00-$2000.00 for companions who will be spayed, neutered, ovariectomied or vasectomised at 14-16 months of age. Folks who desire to spay or neuter before that timeframe are not who we're looking for. In addition, a spay/neuter contract is required between you & we.

3) Puppies who leave in-tact & are to remain as such are considered reproductively whole & as such are priced from $4000.00-$10,000.00 depending upon color & other qualities. We determine the pricing & reproductive status of our puppies as their futures are entirely our business.

4) We reserve the right to refuse service to any one at any time. (& this too, has always been the case).

How cute are these puppies!? They are just starting to fill out & become themselves. Products used for this exciting adventure? On their heads & legs I used Quadruped Multi-Purpose Tearless...& on their bods, I used Isle of Dogs Evening Primrose...& world's softest face brush from #1 All Systems...

I find it interesting to see photos of the dogs behind our breedings...I have attached some for you below. Yes, it is interesting to note that Taffy is the granddam of Bleu's litter.

Gee, I'm so excited about the litters! What can I say? I feel I've become quite redundant! Taffy's huge litter has really come into their own...playing, yodeling, eating...I can't wait to select a girl from the crowd to carry on the UNBELIEVABLE bloodlines preserved within this breeding. Tis alchemy.

How much fun is this?! Bleu's litters is now eating Evanger's Duck/Sweet Potato limited ingredient canned food...while Taffy's is enjoying Royal Canin. Here, they have just eaten 2 cans of food & present as a Collie bouquet.

For the numerous folks interested in Cloud, he is the puppy on the left. If further interested please send us a letter telling us all about yourself! You needn't be Tolstoy...but, we love knowing as much as possible about the families inquiring about our lads & lasses. Without this letter, we will assume that you're far too busy with life & all of her intricacies & therefore, far too busy for one of our puppies. 

For those interested in our laundry regimen. We do far too much laundry for our tastes...we use Zum &/or Young Living Thieves Laundry Soap. If we must do laundry, it should be fun & planet-friendly.

​ We love that our puppies smell like puppy breath & a Grateful Dead concert, all in one.
