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 :-)

Veny - Girl Fever van 't Hof Diabolo

We 've heard from Kim, the owner of Veny, that on Saturday 12 July, they would try and go for their obedience license. We had loved to be there but unfortunately I had to work. Afterwards she emailed me to say they did an excellent job! They gained first place and that with a fabulous score of 100/100. A very big congratulation and carry on like this!

Reunion

On the 21st of July, we organised a reunion for all the families that had 'adopted' a diabolo-border collie. The weather was terrible for a day in July, but besides that, we had a very pleasant time. The dogs were running around and playing with each other as if they always lived together. We had no problems at all with any of the doggies. Everyone was very glad to see the littermates of their puppy back, although the most of them were quite big already ;)
Afterwards we went for a drink in a tea room a friend of mine, and owner of Golden Boy - Foley, had arranged for us.
I like to thank Martine for that and also Peter to take so many beautiful pics!

Here's a couple of them; more can be seen on our site

And as you can see, not only the dogs were having fun!!

A quickie

We were still waiting for the hipresults of 4 of our dogs. Today Falco's came in, he has a B1, hopefully the others will have the same good results :)
