Owyhee Valley Collies and Standard Poodles

The Constellation Litter’s Future! I am happy to announce that all of the puppies from this litter all have been matched to fantastic, loving homes and have bright beautiful futures on the horizon. So where are they going? Who will they be? Read along to find out! The Constellation litter was Bred by myself and Remy Henderson of ArabellaCollies IntCH Woodlawn Arabella’s Take to the Sky “Pilot” x AKC Pointed Arabella’s Stumbling Over Words “Scribble” First our keepers from the litter! Owyhee Valley N Arabella’s Scribbled in the Stars “Electra” Owned by: Myself, Madison Lee-Wayment Her name is a Nod to both her mother Scribble and her grandmother Thora. Electra has been kept back for her consistent sound structure which was a large improvement on her mother. Although she may not carry as much of the head type I had hoped for, she is an improvement in both health, type, and structure from her mother and father and deserves a chance to contribute to her breed in a thoughtful and positive way moving my program forward. She possesses a fun and lively temperament with drive and promise for excelling in sports. I look forward to her career in the show ring, I plan on campaigning her well past her Championship in AKC and even dabbling in other venues if the opportunity arises! I plan on having her assessed for herding instinct and we will attempt to dip our toes into that sport going forward! This girl has a very bright future here at Owyhee Valley Collies, I cannot wait to see her shine. Owyhee Valley N Arabella’s Take To The Stars “Cygnus” Owned by: Myself, Madison Lee-Wayment Braeden Wayment Remy Henderson Lexis Holme Cygnus took his father’s registered name to the next level, as we hope he soars above the sky and lands in the stars! As many of you know, I don’t keep boys in the house so this may have come as a surprise! Cygnus is a group project and he may bounce back and forth between ID and WA to be shown, compete in sports, etc. Cygnus has been a stand out from very early on. He has the most breed and head type/correct expression of the whole litter and has substantial structural improvements on his mother and appears to have inherited her lovely expression which is EXACTLY what we wanted from this pairing aesthetically. Cygnus is a very sporty and confident guy, he will likely thrive doing a variety of sports. I plan on also getting him assessed for Herding instinct and starting that training. We have big dreams for Cygnus in the show ring, we plan on campaigning him extensively as well. As a NE stud possessing many structural and breed type virtues along with being a large outcross genetically, he will positively contribute to his breed moving forward in the program and continue to add genetic diversity to the NE community here in the PNW while also not sacrificing too much type moving forward. I am happy to share him with My husband Braeden, my mentor/cobreeder Remy, and my dear friend Lexis. The more the merrier! Next onto the incredibly loved pets from this litter! Owyhee Valley N Arabella’s Scribble Me Timbers Buccaneer or “Buc” (previously Pavo) Owned by: Ann Taylor Buc has always been the class clown, crowd favorite, and life of the party since the day he was born! When Ann came to me asking for a “trouble maker”, I never intended to have a puppy fit the bill so well! This guy is so confident and sure of himself and has the most amazing and goofy/outgoing personality. He is an absolutely beautiful boy just like all of his siblings and it was splitting hairs choosing between him and his brother as keepers. He also seems to have to have a little sporty side to him that fits perfectly with what Ann had wanted in her next dog, looking for mainly a companion and weekend warrior type sport prospect. I look forward to hearing all about Buc’s new adventures in Washington and all of the things he is going to do with his new family on their farm! Owyhee Valley N Arabella’s Chained Princess “Andromeda” Owned By: Paige Burton Last but certainly not least, our sweet and sassy little Andromeda. This little lady has been the biggest fighter from day one. She had so much stacked against her and she has exceeded all expectations! This little lady may be small, but she is mighty. With a tibia / fibula fracture at just days old and low birthweight she beat each challenge with such patience and strength. I had been so worried about placing Andromeda, anxious that finding a home that would understand she is special and would need some extra TLC to thrive would be hard to find. When gauging interest, I received so many beautiful inquiries about her with some amazing folks that were willing to bring her into their hearts and home despite her shortcomings and challenges. When Paige reached out and we spoke on the phone for over an hour, I immediately got the feeling that Andromeda found her spot 🥹 With Paige’s experience in vet med and with another pet that has some special needs from congenital defects, she was equipped and fully understood what Andromeda would need and was happy to give her a soft spot to land. Andromeda gets to be the couch princess she always dreamed of being and her new family has expressed interest in doing some low impact companion sports with her as well! I am so excited to see Andromeda go to her new home in Pennsylvania in October and thrive! As many of you know, I have spent the last year and a half preparing to bring this litter to the world and I would like to say a special thank you to EVERYONE who played a part in helping raise these babies with me. It truly does take a village and I am so grateful to those around me that rallied together to give these babies the absolute best start. A List of Special Thanks: First and Foremost, the biggest thank you to Remy Henderson for being the absolute best mentor and wealth of knowledge throughout this process. I would have never started in Collies if it wasn’t for you and Scribble and I am eternally grateful for the guidance and support you have offered me. You and Holly Anderson were absolute angels for hosting Tilly, Scribble and I in Washington for a few days while Scribble was bred. A big thank you for letting me use the most handsome Pilot to help me achieve some long term goals in my program. You went above and beyond coming down and helping me through the hardest part of whelping and getting puppies stable and teaching me valuable skills hands on. You are the best and I can never thank you enough for all the support and encouragement you have given me and continue to offer. Thank you to Idaho Veterinary Hospital and their team for getting these puppies here safely and taking the best care of Scribble throughout the process. A special shoutout to Dr. Cavender and Dr. Toenges for being the most hands on with their case and being so knowledgeable and helpful. Your skilled hands gave us the most beautiful gift! Thank you to Kathi Berman for being our special on call collie vet for baby Andromeda in those early days and imparting your gift and working in unison with IVH and Dr. Toenges to make sure these babies did their absolute best. I could never thank you enough for teaching me to wrap little Andromedas leg, you are truly an angel. A BIG thank you to my dear husband Braeden for being my rock through all of this, for continuing to work hard and provide for our family while I was in the puppy trenches. Being there for me in the hard moments and holding me up. You remind me everyday why I married you and I cannot thank you enough for being so supportive of my dog dreams. #1 dog show Dad in the world 🌎 Now you have your very own Show Piggy Cyggy 🐖 Thank you to my mother Mellissa for being here in the house to help wrangle my skin puppies (Ryker, Shelby, and Tilly), it took a huge load off of me to have your help here 24/7 and not one bit of it goes unnoticed or unappreciated. Thank you to my In-Laws Michael and Carol for letting this litter come and take a field trip to your beautiful yard and for all the MANY things you did behind the scenes to help when we needed it with the kids or really anything we needed. You guys are the best and we love you 🩷 Thank you to my kiddos for being the biggest puppy helpers, you guys truly were amazing at helping desensitize and socialize these babies well.

Your talent highlighted some of the sweetest parts of this experience.

Having Friends you can trust and talk to and confide in truly makes a world of difference. You guys are gems! And lastly, Thank you to all the many long time followers and new friends that I have gained along the way! I met so many incredible people on TikTok Lives, GoodDog, and in Facebook groups that have been supportive, kind, and generous throughout this process. We have all shared laughs, cried, and celebrated alongside these puppies as they grew and I am just in awe of the little community we have. These puppies truly have opened so many doors for me and I am thrilled to see the places they will go 🩷🐾
