Praise the Lord! We got puppies!
I'm proud to announce the birth(s) of a litter of Border Collie puppies at our house! So far four are new breathers out and suckling with more to come.
It always saddens me when someone posts he lost his lifetime four legged friend. Having lost many in my own life, I know the gut wrenching lonely feeling. It is with great joy that I post new life for a change!
The parents.
Stay tuned, I'll post photos of the puppies when they're all born and dry.

nothing cooler then a puppy. next to your newborn baby nothing melts my hard heart quicker. the one in my avatar was the best dog ive ever had. he passed 7 years ago. how could he not be a great dog. chocolate lab named Elmer Kieth. ive got a good replacement but elmer was one of those one of a kind dogs
Lloyd, I well remember when you lost Elmer. I believe it was heart breaking for all of us here. Most here have gone through the sadness and heart ache of loosing a beloved pet. It seems unfair that one of the most joyous days of our lives, bringing home a new puppy will ultimately lead to one of the saddest days of our lives, the day we have to part with them after a life of being the best of pals. The best we can do is give them a good life.
(update) five puppies now, three B&W, (dad) and two Merle, (mom).

Congratulations! Nothing like having new puppies! Let’s hope they are all healthy, vibrant and live long lives bringing happiness to all those who are around them.
Keep your powder dry and watch your six !!
The joy of newborn best friends and the sadness of losing said best friend in time. I lost my best girl 12 years ago after she spent every minute of every day for 10 years by my side; I have two replacements, just not the same.....................
They never replace the memories of the ones that had to leave, we must train and give the new puppy a chance to create their own memories.
(update) seven puppies now!

Poopies! LOL so warm and cuddly...
Pups are cool, but a long road between weening and being trained. The loss is hard for sure.

(update) only six puppies. One stillborn, mama dog and I couldn't get to breath. I even tried gentle mouth to nostril.
She just popped another, so it's back to seven!

My avatar is almost a dead ringer for my little buddy Chico. Six pounds of mean that thought he was a Pit Bull. Miss that little guy.
We've not had puppies in a while, but I have a boxer that's my baby. I still remember what puppy breath smells like.
Well, the final tally is, eleven live puppies, one still born for twelve total. I was figuring on maybe five...six.

You better get Chewy on speed dial. LOL
That is great. Congrats. I love dogs, especially PUPPIES!
WOW!! Great job Mom.. Eleven pups from a couple of the smartest dogs that were ever invented. It's not hard to imagine that this litter is gonna cause a lot of happiness in this world. jd
It seems that people who do almost nothing, often complain loudly when it's time to do it.
Congratulations. 11 out of 12 is grand. And the mottled is so pretty. Those are some smart dogs.
We just had to put down down our last rat terrior an hour ago. But 16 years and 7 months is a good long life. Hope your new pups can make it that long. You'd better get on that chewy for sure. 11 pups will be eating you out of house and home in a month....

Handloader109, sorry for your loss.
I lost my Daisy dog, a minpin/terrier cross just about a year ago. I still call the new dog (Bear aka Idiot Boy) Daisy once in a while.
It has been a while since I had a litter of puppies running around here, I kind of miss it. I don't miss the heartbreak of trying to find decent homes for them though.
