Eridor

here is my hopeful for 2011. Eridor Little Ms Bossy Pippa debuted this weekend and at the first 2 of 4 so far she has had 2 baby puppy in group wins

Maybe Kate you could bring the hamper if it hasnt made its way yet?

Yay I can be warm at dog shows in winter now YAY

well it gets damn cold in Canberra and Yass let me tell you and as you say Sway I do have a bitch named Sway and she is a blue one too LOL

ooohhhhhh Sway pick me pick me, I had a great one from one of the dog shops in Canberra and it is like a tent on me. Also totally off topic can you email me at [email protected] with a logo or ad to go in the cat for the ACT and District Combined Collie and Shetland Sheepdog club.

time and place good for me too. Anyone mind if I drag my neighbour along, she is good value and a dog lover?

fantastic news Angelsun

Minky I would be using a all wormer tablet for your pups by now, I wont be using syrup at all now with my pups after talking to several other breeders and vets, the syrup just doesnt seem to do much.

posted my tests to GTG 2 weeks ago and got the results via email today, 3 out of 4 genetically clear, 1 carrier WOOHOO

I have dog shows easter weekend and we are doing house stuff here there and everywhere but pick a date and I will try and make it (ie try very very hard, need a catch up)

thanks eridor - I'm aware that Animal network and GTG are the same, but I also had some other questions that I wanted answered too... Sorry leopuppy, the rest of my post disappeared but basically what I had written was the same as parkeyre

I will be there, happy with where ever

same people.

after seeing what yarrowfell did with my litter on Wamberoo compared to the pup being supp fed with Biolac I am now a wamberoo convert as well.

Firslty in Australia we are lucky enough to be able to inter breed rough to smooth, some countries you cant. If you have a pure for smooth collie smooth and mate it to a rough you will only get smooths. If you have a rough factored smooth put to a rough you will get roughs and smooths If you put a rough factored smooth to a rough factored smooth you will get both coat types. If you put pure for smooth to pure for smooth you will only get smooths I hope that is a bit clearer for you The best thing to remember is that the gene that produces a smooth coat is dominant and the gene for a rough coat is recessive. In genetics, two genes are needed to produce a single trait. I mated two smooth and in the 4 pups I have I have 3 smooths and 1 rough. Whether the rough will have a "good" rough coat is dependant on if both parents passed on good coat genes, whether the smooths have "good" smooth coats is also dependant on the same thing

just a tad Shelby just a tad

8 days old sleeping 4 weeks fluff in a bowl Pippa the only girl looking cute

will post pics tomorrow when I can remember my photobucket password as they are all too big for the forum and I dont know how to resize sorry

Words cannot express how thankful I am to these wonderful breeders whom came to my aid almost 5 weeks ago and saved my collie puppies by allowing them to move in and be fed off one of their beautiful pugs. The babies are now 5 weeks 1 day and came home tonight, I know that Yarrowfell and her son are missing them terribly and they will miss them too and the pugs. Thank you guys you are one in a million and I cannot ever thank you all enough. Jacq

well I ordered swab kits from GTG on a thursday, had them Monday. Once pups are old enough, they will be chipped and swabbed and tests kits sent off. Will let you all know how long it takes to get results

dont know about QLD but when I moved from ACT to NSW I had to transfer the dogs as well otherwise I wouldnt be able to register litters etc. The dogs needed tp be attatched to my new membership number numbers of the dogs remained the same just on different papers

boots babies are 6 weeks old BB

I tell you I dont ever know I will repay Philippa and her son and Boots for what they are doing for me.

thanks Jen for posting for me and for passing on details, my babies were happily feeding off a wonderful pug bitch when i left them in Canberra, man that was hard to do.

Another vote for Shlley, she organised the trip for the smooth collie I recently imported.
