My sweet girl Grace delivered her two puppies- a sable girl, and a blue merle girl. Sadly, both puppies were stillborn. It really is heartbreaking. I feel sorry for Grace. She is a trooper and was all set with plenty of milk for her babies. Grace is not sick and had a pretty easy time delivering the puppies — so I don’t know what went wrong. I will try to breed her again once more in the future.

I have some other breeding plans in the months to come. After 30 years as a collie breeder, I’m not quite done. I can envision a few more great possibilities for my collie family.
