Now 6 wks old - Collie Puppy Pics

[Spiritwind]

Well the pups will be 6 wks old tomorrow. I just got some pictures taken of them this afternoon after I braced their ears up for the first time. I cannot tell you how thrilled the pups were LOL But surprisingly with the exception of the smooth tri boy, all of them have kept their tape in.... gotta redo smooth tri boys, maybe tomorrow...lol

Eye CERF checks are tomorrow afternoon....



Smooth Tri boy -- now known as "Bryce"


Smooth Blue Boy # 1 -- "Ronan"


Rough Tri Boy - "Cody"


Smooth Blue Boy #2 - "Finn"


Smooth Tri Girl - "Nexus" (named by the people who are getting her - forget what the name means...lol)

Also... here are some pics of Amy, who is half sister to these pups.. same mother. I took her to a fun match to practice showing today, because she HATES to show... really hates to show, she will not use her ears... and she did just that at the match... stood there with her ears back lol which is really frustrating because she is such a beautiful girl!! Beautiful head and expression, and wonderful cute little body!... moves very well.... oh well, here are a few pics I took of her after we got home this afternoon...

You know I am partial to the roughs but I LOVE smooth tri boy!!

I can't believe they are 6 weeks old already!! Good luck with eye checks tomorrow.

Too bad about Amy not liking to show... she is a pretty girl. You should send her to me.

The puppies are all so adorable and Amy is absolutely gorgeous. I hope that their eye exams go well tomorrow.

Thanks everyone... they are getting pretty big (and messy!!) they do have a good bit of outside time now, and I try to keep them outside until 11:30pm or so (they are still out right now, getting ready to bring them in)... but if I do that, for the most part they seem to sleep thru most of the night, till around 6am or so anyway... pretty good for little babies... and don't make to much of a mess thru the night, if I get them outside as soon as they wake up in the morning..... Tho when they come in at night and are put in their pen for the night they scream for a while, because they want out to badly LOL I swear one night last week they screamed (not barking, not whinning, this was SCREAMING) for an hour LOL all 5 lol..

My personal favorite is the smooth tri boy (Bryce) followed closely by Ronan, but all are so pretty... and rotten little monsters! Really showing their personalities.... Bryce is gonna be a handful, he is bad! and very up and in your face kinda pup... loves toys and LOVES to tug.... lol isn't afraid of anything..... Rough boy (Cody) is a very dominat, fiesty puppy, he USED to be the mellow on.... Ronan is the reserved, a little softer pup in the litter, hopefully he'll grow out of that.... the female (Nexus) was a lot like Bryce... loves toys, loves to play, isn't afraid of anything... the other smooth blue (Finn) is a very curious, noisey, likes to explore pup.....

The pups are just so gorgeous!! I just want to hug and cuddle them all!!!


What do you mean when you say that Amy "doesn't use her ears" when she shows? I have no idea about showing, lol, so I was just wondering what that meant.

I can't believe they are 6 weeks old already!! Good luck with eye checks tomorrow.

Just thought I'd post to say that the puppies had their eyes CERF checked yesterday afternoon.. and eye checks came back excellent on everyone!! So they are good to go as far as eye checks go...

The place I take them for the eye checks is about 45 minutes from my house (at Carolina Vet Specialist in Greensboro, NC).... anyway, they all handled their first car ride very well... didn't make any messes in their crates on the way up or on the way back... no one even got car sick and for maybe the first minute in the car a couple cried alittle, but then they just laid down and went to sleep....

Now, while at eye check place they were little monsters.. trying to get into EVERYTHING... until they had the drops put in their eyes to dialate the eyes, then got put up on a table and had bright lights shined in their eyes... after each of them had that done, they went and laid down in the corner LOL

Does the starter fluid lose all it's smell and the nasty stuff that people inhale to get high once it's dried and sprayed??

I read this on Wikipedia about starter fluid, just hope there aren't any effects after it's dried when you use it.

From Wiki:
Starter fluid is sometimes used as an inhalant. Sometimes referred to as "passing the shirt," the starting fluid is sprayed on a piece of cloth and held up to one's face for inhalation. The effects of inhalation vary, but have been known to include lightheadedness, loss of coordination, paranoia, and sometimes hallucinations.

Does the starter fluid lose all it's smell and the nasty stuff that people inhale to get high once it's dried and sprayed??

Yes.. as long as you let it dry, its fine.. and doesn't have the smell. This is why I spray it outside, and leave the ear braces sit outside for 2-3 minutes before putting them in the puppies ears...

This is the way I was shown how to do ears 7-8 yrs ago... I perfer using skinbond, but since they stopped making it, I have to find something else to use that works just as well....

Thank you for keeping us posted on these gorgeous pups. I was showing them to my SIL yesterday too. We're both smitten with the smooth blue boys.

Dear Puppies,
Mmwah! Mmwah! Mmwah, Mmwah, Mmwah! You are all so adorable and oh, my how you have grown!

Dear Amy,
You are magnificently gorgeously beautiful. I'm sorry about your ears but they look perfect to me! You look so regal - would you allow your person to hug you for me? HUG!
