To all the prospective puppy owners, I thought that you would like to see the photographs, videos, and updates of the Mackland puppies while they are still with me. These Border Collie & Shetland Sheepdog puppies are lovingly bred and raised in my home. This blog lets me show you step by step how your baby is raised. It highlights each step from mating to 8 weeks old. I hope that you all enjoy reading about them as much as I enjoy having them in my house!

Moons
The Moons are growing! They are very active now - almost able to climb out of the low side of their box! They are approaching 4 weeks, but haven't been out on the grass yet - the weather has been way too bad to let them out of the room. ...and it is not expected to clear soon. So later this week I will create a larger indoor pen for them, so that they can start running around a bit better.
I have started assessing the Moons.... it looks like we have a possible 5 show quality pups out of the 8. So far they are ALL active and will all be suitable for performance or active pet homes (but it is really too early to tell this for sure).
I will try and do some nice photos this evening (before they take a swim in their food bowl).....

Microchips
For those of you that have your pups, and those getting them shortly - please don't forget to open a free account here:

Then "request a transfer" of your pup's microchip into your name.

Carnage............
The 6 remaining terrorists have been like a tornado through my yard and deck! Everything has gone flying, bedding dragged around, mud traipsed across the deck and into the house. They yap and romp non-stop! Pouring rain is not a deterrent for these blighters...
And.......
then they all pass out!
So...
Then they get brought inside to a nice warm, clean, dry pen and it is destroyed within minutes (the picture of tired faces was all a ruse to get them inside - a new destination to wreck)
The solution: THE DOG ROOM
They were all put in there for the night...zzzzz
But this morning EISHHHHHH it all starts again and I still have loads to CLEAN
Who would think that these cute, sweet, soft faces are actually little demons in disguise!?

The Ex's last group shot
This pic wasn't easy! Thanks, Sam for your help (with wine)
These pups only have a few more days with me, so sad - but for their new owners, good luck! Some of them are little terrors!
