Happy New Year

Happy New Year, everyone!


The Sheltie breeding plans are coming along nicely - I decided to add just one more test, and then we are set.


The show year starts at the end of Feb, and Reece and Journey are growing coat, even in this hot weather! Unfortunately Finn has knocked a tooth out over the holidays, so her chances in the ring aren't that great :(


Stay tuned!

SEASON's GREETINGS



Upcoming plans at Mackland:

Plans are under way for pups in 2016. There are, so far, 3 confirmed litters (all sheltie litters) with 2 matings planned around April, and 1 litter around June. These litters are:

Lexi x Reece
G x Reece
Dollar x Reece

A fourth litter is also on the cards (Journey x Tide/ Reece) but testing is still under way and this litter is still to be confirmed.

Unfortunately, even though there is quite a list for border collie puppies, there are no confirmed BC litters for 2016. Plans are up and down, and health tests still need to be completed on some dogs.
There are plans, however, for Mackland boys to be used on outside bitches (both shelties and border collies).

I will update as soon as there is more news.

Mackland WAITING LISTS

Hi all that would like a Mackland Border Collie or Sheltie...

PLEASE NOTE

If you applied for a Border Collie a year ago or earlier, I am wiping my lists clean. you are still on record, but no longer on my active list. Anyone that wants to apply/ wait for a Border Collie puppy for 2016, please ask me to get onto my active list/ download the application form from my website: www.mackland.co.za
I have retained 1 name, my UK applicant that is moving to Cape Town, you know who you are.

SHELTIES:
All Sheltie lists are active, with preference being given to the 1x Export (Aus), you know who you are, as well as those that have already invested in my line directly.

There will be 3x sheltie litters in 2016, and perhaps 1x Border Collie litter.
