Rough Collie Forum:
New Puppy....

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)

Sorry to hear you're not gonna be getting a female from this litter that you were planning on. Sometimes things just don't work out huh..... I know how that goes. LOL

On the other hand, my Friday wasn't as bad as I had thought it would be LOL.... and you know whats kinda cool??? At our High school, the class song for the class of 2001 was "Stand By Me" By Ben E. King. LOL which is who my smooth blue boy was named after.... kinda cool hehe

TTYL

Yeah, I know what you mean but everything happens for a reason and maybe there will be a real nice girl in the next litter! Thats neat about your high school graduation! I bet you were like, "Hey haven't I heard this before?" So how is Ben doing? TTYL Kate:o)

yep... thats true!

Ben is doing very well. He is getting big, he just turned 4 months old a couple days ago. He is such a great puppy. However he caught ring worm from something, and so he has some meds. for that for the next 2 weeks, and I caught it from him so I have some anti-fungal cream for me LOL Oh what fun!! LOL

keep us updated on the pups and future litters you may get a pup from. TTYL

Sounds like Ben is doing good, besides the ringworm! LOL! Well, how are you doing with the ringworm? Having fun? lol... I hope you and Ben get better! I'll keep you guys posted! Kate:o)

LOL Oh yes I just love ringworm!! LOL this is the 2nd time in less than a year I have had to deal with this on dogs. Last October a Collie I was watching for 2 months came down with it not long after she got here.... only I didn't find it till it had spread good on her, because it was up and down her back legs, and feet.....I kinda think she brought it down with her, since I had never had a problem with it before then... and since from what I have read it takes about 10-12 days for ring worm to appear on the skin after the animal has caught it. Oh well atleast its easy to treat! LOL

Well, that stinks! I hope you and Ben get better! How bad does he look right now? I mean how much hair did he lose? Hopefully he won't spread it to your other Collies but its possible...lol! Kate:o)

Thanks.....

Ben doesn't look to bad really. He has a small area (About the size of a quarter) On his head, just a little below the base of his right ear that has thinning hair... he isn't totally hairless there.... I caught it pretty early... so hopefully it won't spread anywhere else on him.

I don't think my adults will get it. They didn't get it last fall when the Collie I was watching had it. The adults have a stronger immune system and can fit it a bit better than the pups.....
