Check out what made my weekend most memorable.
It was quite the moment, 8 little Border Collie puppies to pat, cuddle and goo gah over for 30 minutes on Saturday. It was the best fun for someone like me who loves little puppies. All they wanted to do was to crowd under feet and legs. It was one of this melting moments for me who has had 3 pet dogs over a lot of years.
I was there because my husband and I offered to drive my son an hour up the highway to meet with a breeder. He and his girlfriend are wanting to check out a blue merle puppy.
Border Collies are highly intelligent, diligent, agile, easy to train, friendly and eager to please.There are a variety of different types for interested buyers to choose; black and white, blue black and white, blue merle, red etc.
The mother a blue merle and the father a red collie's traits ticked all the boxes. They were calm, easy going and friendly. The 5 week old 2 black and white puppies and 6 blue merle's showed to be alert, active and gorgeously soft. Blue merle's are a mixture of black, white and grey hues with blue eyes.
My son was happy with the puppies, the breeder and paid a deposit and will be able to pick up the little male blue merle at this venue in 3 weeks.
Once we said good bye to the breeder and her Border Collie parents and puppies we drove into a quiet Gympie. Shops were closed but we managed to find one pub opened and enjoyed a leisurely celebratory lunch before heading back to the Sunshine Coast.
Saturday was a good day
Oh gosh yes, nothing better than a basket full of puppies!
One of the guys I worked with for 20 years had a cattle farm and he always had border collies. Dazzle was his last one and she was a blue merle. I never got to meet her, but saw lots of pictures and heard lots of stories.
Indeed a great Saturday!
You make for a really good thumbs up for blue merles . They do make for very good work dogs @blueyes8960 as they love the action. My son is going to be running a lot once this puppy grows a little.
Nice to meet you @blueeyes8960.
They're soooooooooooo cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute XD
That's definitely a trip I would have been happy to go along on too XD
I had to explain the situation to my partner as while we were clucking over the puppies he said he hoped you had lots of room if you had 8 border collies XD
What a lot of fun 8 puppies would be to play with .......but full time, mmm it would be an end to my leisurely life and sleep ins, hahaha.
My hand will go up anytime to visit puppies, I am definitely hitching a ride to pick up this puppy in a few weeks.😎
Border Collies are the most beautiful dogs I know and these puppies are just gorgeous, Angie, so sweet 😍
A friend of us used to breed them, but unfortunately we are living in an apartment and a dog would be too much alone because both of us are working full time and cats sleep all day long anyway 😉

Good morning Hannes, yes I agree dogs need company and border collies need a lot of exercise. Jack the border collie loves to swim whenever he can and his master, my son-in-law will run him several kilometres and he still has energy to burn.
Good morning Angie,
that's right - such a dog wouldn't be happy in our apartment as long as we are still working, but as said, when we retire I can imagine having someone who accompanies me on hikes would be great 😃
