Litter update on 02 Oct 2025 •…We went for a drive today to visit the best local pet store (Clean Run) and then came home and played in the leaves. A lot of excitement. Everyone was quiet in the car and did well crated (together). Got some cute pictures of them! I’ll go back and label who is who later today!

Litter update on 01 Oct 2025 •…It’s week three for the puppies and they are working hard on their Puppy Culture curriculum. They’ve been walking over crinkly surfaces, navigating obstacles to get to food and more. They are amazing! Their personalities are emerging more and more and it’s beautiful to see their joy and stability with how they experience the world. I dremel their nails twice weekly and every puppy is handled often. We have safe visitors come daily to hold the puppies and play. We’ve gone for car rides, started crate training and have them using sod for housetraining (yes I lugged large pieces of sod into the whelping pens for training). Every day we listen to music, to vacuums and blenders and more. Each day is an adventure! Each week of development is so special and we make the most of it! They’ve have their first deworming, exams are scheduled for 10/30 and we are also scheduling BAER testing. All other genetic tests have been completed (and they are all clear!)

Border Collie
About Vala
Vala is gentle, loving, smart, mischievous and darling. She’s great at everything she does and is the ultimate partner whether it’s herding, obedience and house days. She’s done some competing and her pedigree has some real performance superstars in it! She’s an amazing blend of performance and herding lines. Her competition career was cut short due to a fluke knee injury but she still works on our farm and competes/trains for fun AKC sports. She’s an incredible pet with sweetness, charm, humor, and so much trust.
