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!

3 weeks!
The Exclamations are 3 weeks old!
There's a lot of rough-housing going on in the box! They seem like little terrorists! My nanny-cam is really coming in handy as I can watch them from work.... mom is being very good and staying in the box more now.
There will be 3 week photos late tonight - our planned 3wk photo shoot is this evening.
The little black & white boy has become available, as the girl waiting for him has had some bad news :(

Pup's new digs
The pups are playing now, and romping around, so I have extended their whelping box...
Also, Finn's whelping box has been added to the area, much to her delight!
Mackland Border Collie pups 2015
Mackland planned 2x Border Collie litters for 2015, and no Sheltie litters.
Our first pups, the EXCLAMATIONS, were born on 9 July this year, and the second, the MOON pups, are due anytime from this weekend. Finn is looking gigantic!

New layout
As the time draws nearer for Finn's babies to arrive, and Red's babies are growing, I have rearranged the room.
The Exclamations have half a box and half a pen to run around in... plus a new spongy floor mat.
The soon-to-be-Moons have a large whelping box that's set up opposite their Aunty Red's digs :)

Sunday update
The babies are moving around a lot now! I have attached some balls with bells to the side of the box. Green girl and Pink girl have started grabbing it already!
They are also walking around a lot - Blue probably the most mobile boy, and Pink the most mobile girl.
I also added 2 little balls for them to bump into, but Red thinks it is her duty to clean up... so these are reserved for when she's taking a break haha
They have also discovered what barking is......... eish, a rowdy lot! And growling..............!
The feistiest pups so far are Green and Pink - they have little fights in the box...
Nails were cut this afternoon... long overdue (eish) - thanks, Kayleigh for your help!

EYES - Day 17
Yellow & Green girls still don't have their eyes open properly...
We woke up the pups to snap a few pics today, so they were a little sleepy :)
