THE HYBRIDS AT 4 MONTHS OLD RUNNING AROUND AND HAVING FUN!

This was taken on 12-26-2008, on a rainy day in Virginny. We had just dropped on to see Candy, one of our black and white female Bordershelties. She has a GREAT home close to where we live and since our daughter was down from Vermont with Biscuit, we wanted to let them say hi to each other and play for a little while.
Though Ashley is Mrs Growly-Pants in this vid, please notice that she WAS very happy to see Candy (witnessed by her running around like a puppy herself)but she felt the need to tell her who was boss.
Biscuit got this treatment for the first 36 hours after arriving back in Virginia.
Seeing them at the 4 month mark, it makes us proud. Each and every one is in perfect health, they have great personalities and they are all BEYOND smart!
Dozer is now only 2 pounds lighter than his mother, who weighs in at 34 pounds (Dozer is 32 EEK!!!!).
Candy is 19 pounds and Biscuit is 18.
We cannot thank you all enough for the overwhelming interest in these hybrids. There is a very touchy situation with the breeding, however...since most AKC types feel a dog is ruined by breeding outside its own classification. (Of course, how soon they all forget that each and every dog class we now have CAME from breeding some of this and some of that...duh)
At this time, I cannot disclose the sire and that is not likely to change, since this would likely jeopardize his standing in the show world. (Even though for a male, this is totally ludicrous, since we collected and artificially did the deed...he never touched her and vice-versa...)

IF the owner of the sire agrees, the next litter would again be for service dogs. We had 9 the first litter and if there is another litter, any pups over 4 or 5 would be available. This time, they will be starting at the 1200.00 level and the list of qualifications is long. Fenced yard, active lifestyle, vet and professional references, proven financial ability to provide top-notch vet care, experience with herding breeds...etc.
We were VERY VERY picky with the last litter and had no trouble at all placing every pup.
If you are interested in a Bordersheltie hybrid for yourself, please message me. Any of you who have messaged me in the past, please re-send your info. We lost our back-up of this information when Verizon changed our DSL contract.
Enjoy the puppys and if you would like to look and see more about them, have a look here:
