We are now up to 3 - not sure how many more - all black and white.

Yes I do sell them, but I don't "raise them for sale".

Grand total of 5 - 2 males and 3 females. Females are black and white and the males are red and white. Doesn't seem to be a runt in the lot. All are healthy.

That's terrific! I bet they are so cute! I just love Border Collies. We have three Black and White and one tri-color. None of them are full-blooded BCs, but they're smart as whips and we love them very much.

I would love to see photos of your new babies!

Best and easiest way is to store them in a free storage site and give out the url to your album (make sure it's open to public for viewing).

Here's a list of free photo storage sites.

Thanks Craftydiva - I'll do that.

CORRECTION on puppies - 4 females, 1 male.

I sure hope that I do as well when my California Red Sheep have their lambs. When building a herd it always nice to get mostly ewes - seldom happens - but nice.

We have 2 Border collies, both full blooded. Male/ & female both fixed. Our male prefers outdoors but our female was raised a housedog, but she gets lots of time outdoors with us working, playing, more playing. Then she's ready to come back in and relax...and then play with the inside toys...LOL

Work them on the sheep and the neighbors barbado sheep, but they never get all of the work they would like to do. My female would work the sheep 24/7 literally.

We have a border collie "housedog" . He's wonderful, but they do need training. When we move the sheep he is worth his weight in gold. His obsessive/compulsive habit is to hunt invisible mice in the snow.
