I can’t believe Grace’s puppies are nine weeks old now. They are the most laid back puppies I have had in 30 years of raising collies. I have had some pretty puppies and I love them all, but these puppies are extra special to me. They are beautiful and so very sweet. They are to be the last litter I raise.

I think these puppies have some of their sire’s show off attitude, but right now it seems their mother Grace’s ultra sweetness is shining through.

They have now passed their vet health check by Dr Emily Martin, and their eye exam by Dr. Robert Munger. They have had their first puppy vaccination and appropriate worming. I am starting to seriously evaluate their show potential now. I plan to start placing these puppies in the right homes by September 27-29, 2024. I need to watch them move outside on turf to judge their movement. I try to not be kennel blind, but these puppies look very promising. I know given love and good care- they will all make loving companions, and hopefully some of them will have success in the show ring.

Those who have contacted me about a puppy, should double check with me about which puppies will be available. You can email Debbie at: tairiscollies@yahoo.com

Here are some snapshots of the puppies at 8 to 9 weeks.

The puppies and I are anxious for fall to start and these 90+ degree days to leave. Hopefully cooler weather will be here in a few days so the puppies can enjoy more time playing outside. They have so much to discover!
