Xtc has mated the blue merle bitch Gember van de Weimeniershoeve on 18 and 20 October and we got the confirmation this week, that Gember is in whelp! We expect these puppies around the 20th of December. The expected colours of these puppies are black/white, blue merle, chocolate/white and chocolate merle and also all of these with tan.

Georgette also let me know that she still has a lovely puppy available from her current litter from Dior and Bryning Leap in the Dark "Echo. The beautiful, powerful chocolate tri Echo is a littermate from our girl Skye and so these puppies are in fact a little bit of family to us ;-)

"Woef " december

Yesterday Martine called us, she was very excited, she got the new woef magazine in her mailbox en her article was published! I of course immediately went to the store but to my regret I had to go back today, the woef came out on fridays.

Our puppies and name is mentioned on at least three pages! In the article of the European Championship agility there's a photo of Liselotte with Bruse doing the weave, the second article is that of Martine and her family and their 6 dogs which all come from our kennel, and the third one, the one I am mostly excited about, is a picture of Bruse on the last page which I took by the way ;-) , where he announces the new woef of January, where the border collie will be the breed of the month. Will keep you all posted!

Here's the photo:

Quiet in the house...

All the puppies went to their new homes. Only our own girl Quiah and our new boy Iago make it quite 'noisy' around the house.
We have no puppies planned for the winter, Spice and C will be mated in the spring, and also Skye, when exactly will depend on when the ladies decide to come in season.
We thought of some stunning dogs for our girls, when we are sure of our plans, we will let it know here and on our site.
This week we also recieved some very good news, the hipscore of our girl Spice, she has an A², which we are very happy with! The only one that has to be tested is our C, which will happen in the next couple of months. Then all of our dogs are done, except for our two new youngsters, but that's for next year.

To the beach...

We went to the beach with the whole gang. The little ones stayed behind, too tiny to walk that far and the possibility to get trampled kept them at home.
It was sunny, we enjoyed it for as long as it lasted, and the dogs even enjoyed it more, as the pics prove it...

Our little fella

Here are some more pics of our handsome boy, taken over the weekend:

Dreams sometimes do come true...

After looking for quite some time (a few years) for the ideal Australian red border collie puppy, one of my dreams came true.

On Sunday, we went to a breeder colleague of border collies with our little ee red girl, and we could bring home our little furry ball. He is everything we've hoped for, he has a lovely character, beautiful head, nice coat, great built, in other words, he already stole our hearts!
His dam, brother and sister were there to and they are all very nice and beautiful dogs. His dad Zion we know as he had a litter with our girl Ginger.

We are very pleased with this little fella, thank you Carla, he's doing fine here, take care of our little girl to!

Here are some pics of him in his new home:

Saying goodbye to our puppies

It's time to say goodbye to our puppies. After being with us the last 8 weeks, they are now ready to go to their new homes. They had their vaccines, their chip, st-hubertus has come for a check up to get their pedigrees and also we had a visite from the daddy's with their owners.

Hurricane, Hailey Rose and High Hopes were the first ones to leave on tuesdays.

On wednesday, Marc came to pick Hawk Eye up

Thursdays Happy Heart went home

The day after, it was High Moons's and High Valley's turn


On saturday, Hot Coco left her brothers and sisters

We went to 'deliver' our baby girl Hot N Creamy to a collegue breeder on Sunday

Today they are coming to pick up Hanky Panky and then we have two more little rascals left here

Hoyden will go home the 8th november, her new owners are moving so she had to stay a bit longer, and Hocus Pocus will leave the week after to his new owner in the Netherlands

Then all that is left here is Quiah, all alone, well, not alone actually, but that I will tell you in a new message :-)
