This time of year is super busy for us! This is prime show season, plus the end of the school year for my little one and we are training and raising the next generation of puppies.

If you have messaged me and I haven’t gotten back to you, I promise you I will! Yes, we are still accepting applications for future litters but our next litter is not until winter/spring 2025. Because of this I’ve been taking a little time to get back to people.

Feel free to text me and ask for a phone call if you have urgent questions and I have not responded to your email! 704-232-3821.

Bye bye Egg!!!

Egg goes off to a new local show home and we’re excited to see her in the ring soon! New name pending so for now she’s just the puppy formally known as egg 😂 we’ll miss you baby girl!

Congratulations to Harrison on his BCAT title today!

Harrison is from Spis first litter and is celebrating his second birthday this weekend. He is owned and loved by Amanda Gonzalez

3/5 of the puppies from this litter have at least their BCAT, and all five have at least one title. ❤

***PENDING***

WE HAVE SEVERAL EXCELLENT APPLICATIONS ON EGG, I WILL UPDATE IF SHE IS STILL AVAILABLE NEXT WEEK BUT I BELIEVE SHE WILL BE GOING TO A LOCAL SHOW HOME SOON!

I kept back two rough girls to grow out a bit as I could not decide which of the two I wanted to keep. I have finally decided to keep Sami, which makes Egg available to a new home.

We had a wonderful time at the Ladson shows. Brags:

Lucas, SD TDCH Windkist Lean On Me, CGC, CGCA, CGC-U, SPOT-ON, TKP, RATO *RN* at 11.5 came out of retirement to make his debut in rally and Q’d 4/4 days and was in the ribbons 4/4 days. (One 4th, one 3rd and two 2nds)

Scout, Moonshadows Mockingbird Melody for Inspire, at 9 months made her all breed conformation debut and won winners bitch one day for her first point and then took three very nice Reserve Winners. She showed exceptionally well for a baby and were very proud of her!

Bye bye Ziti! Now Everest.

Everest is off to her new home to be a demo and sports dog!

Bye bye Gnocchi!

Gnocchi heads off to his co-owner show home with Gretchen Bare. He will stay local and be shown in conformation and some sports

At CCA nationals! Had an amazing seminar yesterday on the head development of the breed over the last 50/60 years and very much looking forward to the collie health foundations CEA presentation tomorrow!

Hey guys!

Please bear with me this week— I am heading to the collie club nationals in Illinois for the week and everything is very hectic. If you are waiting on an application or anything else from me, please send me a short message just reminding me what you’re waiting for and I promise I will get it to you as soon as I settle in Illinois!

Bye bye Ravioli!!! Now Autumn!

Autumn goes off to her new working herding home today and we’re very excited to see how she does!

Bye bye Orzo!! Now Blue!

Blue has landed safely in Houston (he was flown in cabin) and is tired after his red eye flight but off to new adventures in his sport home! We love you little orzo!

Bye bye manicotti!! Now Jumpin’ Jack Flash!

Flash heads off to his new show home where he will be co-owned and shown locally and we are super excited to see him in the ring!

How do we tape 20 puppy ears in one day?

Snuffle mats and magic dust or lickee mats and yogurt, and practice

It may be national puppy day, but we don’t get a day off!

Puppies tagging along for the morning chores

Puppies had their herding evaluations today and did great! Thanks to a nasty cold bug I had to stay home but our favorite Aunty Natalie Bridger Watson took the babies to meet the sheep at Claire’s. Videos coming, but here’s a couple of snaps Bridger took of the kids!

We’re getting a little big for our baby crates!

Bye bye Fettuccine!! (now Zane)

You go have the best life with your new mamma!

Go home bags are packed!

First puppy leaves tomorrow 😭

Today was second round of vaccines day and another big socialization trip
