Hi does anyone know thwe steps I can take to show Lilly the collie I rescued. I don't know anything about her history due to the fact that a trucker dumped her at a bussiness and then the people called us to come and get her. She is for sure a pure bred collie. And all joking aside she looks exactly like she just came off of a lassie movie.

Helping my mom, Barbara Christine Lewis (Rondi's Collies - Eureka, CA - prior to 1977) look fro old contacts and friends, including Jean Cullen (Laurien Collies). Any info or people who knew her welcomed.

Hi everyone! Me and my family are looking for a collie puppy/rough/sable. we would like a puppy that is 8 to 12 weeks old and perferably female. we live in Thousand Oaks, California in the USA. We have had one collie before but last year we had to put her to sleep because of old age. we are now looking for a new very sweet collie and u can be sure that the puppy would be going to a good home because there are 2 kids in our family (9 and 11) and both dog lovers! if you have any information on breeders in the Thousand Oaks area or from anywhere around, (preferably up to 3 hours(driving) away) please e-mail me at crazy_kidd765@yahoo.com thanx! -Jessica

I am currently searching for a collie puppy. I had one as a little girl and she was the best companion in a dog I have ever had. I want my daughter to experience the same companionship in a dog. I live in southwestern va.

We have available to approved pet homes 2 sable and white males and 1 sable and white female. All shots up to date and health certificate provided. Spay/neuter contract for pet quality puppies. Prices start at $300 and up.

Looking for a female sable Collie pup. In or around Scranton, Pa area. Thanks, Sandy

I am 17 and me and my boyfriend are in search for 2 hybrid wolf puppies a male and a female around the age of 4-8 weeks. Are willing to pay. I am looking for certain colors in the dog so if anyone knows anyone that owns some that they are selling or giving away please e-mail me with information and pictures at sugar_muffin16@excite.com. Thank you and I hope to hear alot of replies soon.

I have a 4-month old rough collie. I would like to know what type of training collar is best for this breed. I just started using a nylon two-ring choker and his hair gets caught in it. I was thinking of getting a Volhard collar or is a metal link choker better for a breed like this with the long hair?

I had my pet painted by an artist. I was not dissapointed. I was so impressed by his work I made it a point to let other know. www.latinoart.net don't let the name fool you. When you go there you will see a painting of a dog go to DOG ART. They have reasnoalbe prices. They even posted my German shepard.

Im looking for a white factored ot white tri headed male pups for my breeding program. I will do research any and all breeders that approach me.

Does anyone know of any breeders who breed the European bloodline here in the United states. I am looking for a full Euro puppy not a Euro-American mix and would prefere acquiring one from the us over importing one from Europe for the sake of convience. If anyone knows of any breeders please let me know. Thanks ~Nicole

ozzy osbourne involved with secret sex club? ozzy osbourne is involved with a secret illegal sex club ring that involves the pushing of innocent women into sex and maybe even exploitation of young girls (as young as twelve years old) with the use of illegal implantation of transmitters by the (cia) government to use hypnosis and even torture to persuade women to exploit themselves and/or have sex with them. this sex ring is not only immoral but they also endanger the health and lives of these women until they give in or become fat and unhealthy. they use many different methods of torture, such as putting them in pain, causing phony asthma attacks, ruining their skin, and interfering with their normal routine in life, ensuring failure at these women's endeavors. he tells the women afterwards, even if they have been tortured, humiliated and brutally treated for as long as twenty years, that he doesn't give a crap and they even threaten them with medical problems as serious as heart attacks. all because these women have been raised well enough that they will not give in to being prostitutes for the rich and beligerent famous. their excuse for this is that they are to old to infatuate too many good looking women and they want to use the transmitters to fool the women into thinking they are in love with them because they don't want women that are just going to have sex with them for their money.

I am doing a project for school on dog intelligence, and thought it would be a good idea to include results form a test of my own, and to see if my results of different breed intelligence match what the experts say. It is a 70 question multiple choice test, and I was wondering if anyone would not mind taking a few minuets and taking the test about their dogs. Just emal me at spoonz28@hotmail.com and I would be glad to give you the test. Thanks, Danielle

The breeder we are buying our collie from has told us that we should ask the vet to leave one ovary intact to help prevent urinary incontinence. The collie is a 3 yr. old female who has never been bred. We would like to spay her but are concerned for her long term health. The breeder tells me that she will become incontinent if a standard spay job is done. We are unsure of how to proceed- does anyone out there have experience with this?

Well I finally got me a rough mahogany sable female show prospect! I just brought her home LATE Sunday night.... Ben, Pennie (the sable girl) and I didn't get back home till 1am...lol I got her from a breeder friend of mine that lives about 40 minutes south east of me. She did not breed this dog, but she got this dog as 2nd pick of the litter born last year. She was born August 20th 2000, so she just turned 1yr old. She is NORMAL EYED! and as she gets older should be a nice mahogany sable! Her sire is Ch. Twin Acres Blockbuster (Ch. Twin Acres Deliverance ROM X Highcroft Twin Acres Obsession ROM) and her dam is a rough sable Vennessee bitch......and She is marked just like her sire, Buster is. (I saw Buster for the first time about 4 or so years ago, and then again at the nationals this past April) Ben went down with me when I went to get Pennie because this friend of mine hasn't seen him since he was a baby... just after the nationals..... Ben is now 50 some pounds (I need to get him weighed soon) and almost 7 months old, and about 24 1/2 going on 25" inches tall at the shoulders!! He is getting BIG and it looks like his first AKC dog show will be Sunday Sept. 16th. He and some of his "Tomelle" relatives will be there! TTYL

Hello Everyone, I have decided to get my blue merle bitch a Obedience Title. She knows the basic sit, down, stay, heel, and come & finish. What else does se need to know for a Companion Dog Title? Give me any information that you can! Kate :o) PS~ I am still waiting for the new show girl do July 12 and its killing me!

Hi. I was looking through your list's old posts. I saw that you guys talked about how to post pictures. I understood what you meant so I went to www.freewebfiles.com and signed up. I tried uploading and it would only upload the ".htm" and ".html" files. When I tried to upload ".jpg" files it would come back saying "whatever.jpg does not look to be a true .jpg". (I did not really try to upload "whatever.jpg" LOL That's just an example.) Why does it say that? How can I upload my JPEG files??? ~ Alicia

Nola was diagnosed with an enlarged esophagus and tested for thyroid problems and adkissons disease, She does not have these. Any help with how to treat would be very helpful. Please this is a life threatening condition

Well Ben is now going on 5 months of age... and I finally got some pics of him taken over the past couple weeks, so here they are. hope you like him.

Ben 4.5 months.

Ben's got a rough life doesn't he? LOL

Ben at about 4 months.

and here is Magic showing off!

Check out my dog page at http://bothebordercollie.tripod.com/ Its full of cool info and you can even send me your pet pictures to be posted on the net.

Hello, Well Emily, the mother of my new pup, had two tri males! I heard they were gorgeous but hey are not what I want. I have to wait until July 12 to see if Rachel, a sable girl has pups. Her reg. name is Cherokee Rose On Golden Pond. She is gorgeous but I am going to have to see if she has a female. I could also wait and see when a sable headed white female goes into heat and see what she has. I know I'm being a little stubborn but I want a female to show. Prefably a tri-factored sable. I am going to see the pups in a few weeks and I might get one but I have my heart set and would like to see what the next litter has. Just wanted to tell you guys the news! Kate:o)

Ok... so this has nothing to do with my dogs, but does have something to do with dogs very closely related to Ben, or dogs owned by a breeder friend of mine...

5/19/2001 - St. Clairsville, OH

Tomelle's Moonlit Summer Nite AKA "Ring" took first in his class - Smooth open dogs, and winners dog. for 2 points. Ring is Ben's uncle, he is a litter mate to Ben's dam, Abby.

5/20/2001 - St. Clairsville, OH

Tomelle's Blue Moon aka "Travis" took first in his class - smooth puppy 6-9 months, and winners dog for 2 points. Travis is the son of "Ring" and out of a Bolyn's Movin' On up daughter - half sister to Ring.

Other results:

Travis' sister Angie - Tomelle's Painted Angel a rough blue, got 2nd in her class both days. Twin Acres Sylvan Visionary aka "Connor" got first in his class - Open sable and white dogs, both days, and North Country Blue Thunder (Owned by another friend) got first in his class both days - open rough blue dogs, and winners dog both days for 1 pt each day.

Way to go Ring, Travis, Angie, Connor, and Thunder!!!!

Ok, I'm done now LOL TTYL

Thanks for the info. I really appriciate it. You're right about spaying them before they leave. You have been real helpful! Kate:o)

hi there:O) i wanted to share the good fortune of having a great ground pet transporter by giving her name and number out to everyone that wants it:O) the business is called "Pets on the Move" and is owned by a dear friend of mine named brenda. if anyones interested in knowing more about this ground shipper please feel free to e mail me and make sure your subject line is "shipping" thank you and have a good day:O)

Well I got off from work early enough today that I went home, tossed the crate in the car, and Ben and I headed up to conformation classes. This was the first time Ben has really done conformation training....I haven't done much of anything with him before tonight, and he did so well at the classes. He is MUCH calmer than Timmy ever was!! and Ben is baiting pretty well already... he is so into the food he will stand right in front of me, looking up at me waiting for the food... he will stack his front feet up pretty well already, but his back feet not to well right now....he also does well on a loose leash.

The lady that was teaching the classes said for a pup of his age (going on 4 months) and for this being his first time really doing any conf. he was doing very well... oh and he is afraid of nothing, and just loves being around the dogs and people noise, so I gotta feeling he'll be a really fun dog to work with!!

Just wanted to post a message about it LOL

Hi, I was wondering how full registration works. I know when you give full reg. out the owner can breed the dog but could you put a dog on limited reg. and then when the dog ch/points let he/she go on to full reg? I have heard that some people did this and I wasn't sure if they were correct. If you have any info let me know. Kate:o) PS My new pup is due pretty soon!

Ok, I need some ideas on how to shut Magic up when she is outside!

Ok, lets see if I can explain this. I have a large fenced area for the dogs to be in and play in while they are outside - they don't live outside! Whenever Magic is outside she barks at anything, and everything.. it doesn't matter... it could be a bird flying above her, to a rabbit running in the field, or the dog 2 houses down, or just a noise she hears... and she starts barking like crazy and won't stop! I don't believe its because she is bored either, because she will be running around, playing and chases the other dogs, and then all the sudden stop and bark her head off...its getting really annoying now, cause she doesn't do it when I am outside with her.. or if she does I say "NO" and she stops. When I am in the house, the only way to stop her is going up to the pen, and by the time I get to the pen she stopped, so there is nothing I can really do about it. I didn't really like the idea of the shock barking collars, because we use to have one of those underground fences, she would probably think she was getting shocked because of that.... my mom is ready to have her de-barked!! which I don't like the idea of either.... although A LOT of the dogs on her pedigree are de-barked....hmmm do I see a pattern???? LOL

Anyway, it probably isn't a hard thing to fix.. but would like some ideas... she is just so alert, everything catches her attention, she will be asleep, then all the sudden jump up barking, or playing with the pup and then run to the other side of the pen and start barking....LOL but she loves to be outside! so I hate to just keep her inside most the time. BTW she is only 3 1/2 yrs old.

Here's a shot of my boy Mufasa - LegendHold Circle of Life CGC. He's jsut 1 year old and sort of "coltish" looking with those teen aged legs and no coat.

Just trying something out, not sure if it will work or not.

Ben 12 wks

Magic 3 yrs old

Timmy 1 yr old

Rosie, There are a lot of really good breeders in PA. You need to know when to look and where, and you can not rush finding a really nice pup. Actually a well bred pup is going to end up costing you A LOT more then a rescued adult. People in rescue ask $150 to cover the vet cost and grooming and other care on these dogs as most come in in terrible condition. Actually $150 doesn't even cover most of the cost to get them in shape. The smallest amount I have personally spent on a rescue for medical care and grooming was $187 and that didn't cover the food, training, and care I give her for 7 weeks while I had her. The MOST I had into a rescue was mother and son. It took $870 to get them healthy and I took $200 for the BOTH of them because the same family was willing to take both of them and keep them together (which is rare!).

Hey J. I'm back up and running now. didn't know why I had problems before... never mind on that post thanks! M.

test test

Ok... just got these pictures back and scanned today...I must say, out of all the pics I took, not many turned out that great. Oh well, what can I say, I'm no good at taking pics. Most these pics, Ben has major red eye in, can't figure out the red eye remover thing on my scanner program....he is 11 and 12 weeks of age here.
