I have met a fellow breeder on facebook who is breeding the other breed that I love, Scotch Collies. I wanted to get a puppy but just cannot swing the cost right now, but he has two gorgeous girls looknig for homes.

This is Jasmine, I will put the other pics in the comments. The breeder said that Jasmine is probably the BEST working dog out of all of them! If they want a shepherd who will also make a wonderful family dog...they can't do any better than her!

The second puppy is Rosie. He said that she

is a sweetheart and LOVES to be cuddled and held! She is smart but submissive and needs a loving family! She probably could be a working dog...but would also probably prefer to be with her owners playing and being loved!

These dogs were bred by MDS kennel in California.

Important! And there is some correlation for the developmental fear periods:
"Puppy fear periods are natural, temporary developmental stages (lasting 2-3 weeks) where puppies become suddenly fearful of new or familiar things. They typically occur twice: first around 8–11 weeks, and again during adolescence at 6–14 months. Handle with patience, avoiding forced exposure, and use positive reinforcement to build confidence"

Well, the puppies both went to their incredible homes today and already seeing pictures of them with their new families and how much love and joy they bring is one of the biggest reasons why I breed and raise them. My dogs are a huge part of my own life and world, and I cannot imagine life without them being such a part of it.
And when I went to check on the goats tonight Inez is losing her plug so we are 1-2 weeks away from new kids. What beautiful way to begin springtime.

Pupdate: 5 1/2 weeks old and I am feeling a little bit sad, not going to lie. These sweetest babies will be going home in a couple of weeks and I am going to miss them! 😭

We got a bit tired out from our outing today. We saw the giant loud feathered things and that was a tiny bit scary because they are bigger than we are. We found some bones to chew on which is great. All in all a good day for two little puppies. ❤ And we BOTH have homes to go to now!!

5 weeks old and ears are going up!

Pupdate: Puppies will be 5 weeks old tomorrow, and they have graduated to litter and a crate, so they are being crate trained to seeing a crate as a wonderful place to den, sleep, have a time out. decompress, relax and chew etc. Some kind of bedding is essential at this age because of the volume of urine etc and the fact that they are so active that they just make an unsanitary mess on paper. This way if you provide a litter box (small wading pool --3 feet diameter or a concrete mixing tub) you can have a litter box, and crate in a small area like a puppy play pen or other restricted area if you have to work or be away before they are house trained.
Puppy pads are tough with these guys because they will likely carry them around and shred them.
