KTB - I hope you find a home for blossom, she is a beautiful dog!

Wuffles - Satch looks like hes trying to hypnotize us, dont look into his eyes!!

Unfortunately Jett isn't good with cats which is dissapointing as he looks like such a lovely boy! Hopefully he finds a new home soon

Clucky clucky.

Have just sent off an email to HHAR and look forward to their reply

Ha ha KTB, I didn't realize if i clicked on the pic of the kids vacuum it would send me to pics of the real one very clever indeed! What a great looking little boy he is, looks like he'll be a big boy aswell Can't wait to see pics and videos of the Elbster and Hoov's playing together!

I was sitting there watching The Bourne Identity and thought it was OH snoring, but he was awake.. found the culprit.. FINALLY got a vid of him without waking him. Sorry about the static noise... don't know why the phone does that.

And here is a vid I found off my phone from ages ago, Pepper getting Mars to play.. she likes to paw at him, not so much anymore though.

Ok, I've returned from a period of lurking Hopefully I wont go back into being a lurker for too long after this!

Was that a freight train or a dog you were filming?! Think you need to see a specialist about his snoring problems My cat can almost rival the loudness of that snoring. Sometimes i have to nudge it just so i can get a moment of silence and get it to stop!!

We have hit a little bit of a snag in the search for a puppy. While trying to convince an unwilling family member, we hadn't replied to the breeder for nearly two weeks and they since sold their pups , which is disappointing but was entirely our fault!

So the search continues!

Yeah, obviously caring for a puppy is a huge responsibility but once the dog reaches adult hood the rewards for putting in the hard yards early on in the dogs life are enormous. Although it may be frustrating at times, as the dog gets older you will look back at the time you spent caring for it as a pup and feel so proud of yourself and its a great achievement having such a loving and well mannered dog

Tigers12 - is it the first time you will have a dog? Good luck with the preparations!

My dad had a border collie when he was growing up, but it will be the first time the rest of us will have a dog.

Max and elbie look very similar, i keep thinking that your DP is of Elbie

tigers12: any luck in your hunt for a puppy?

Not yet, i really want to read and research as much as possible before we get one so i am prepared for everything. We will probably contact some breeders some time in the next couple of weeks !

Its so exciting looking at all the pics of other DOL members bc's and kelpies

Does elbie spend much time alone during the day and whats he like by himself?

Thanks so much!

Cant wait for the next update on Elbie :)

I'm really sorry to hijack the thread ktb, but im having trouble searching for border collies on this forum. Would you be able to direct me to where the BC threads are situated and if its not to much to ask, a list of some of the BC breeders on this forum?

Once again, sorry to hijack!

Much appreciated!

Koalathebear, i love reading about Elbie! Although i don't have a dog myself (2 cats), i am hopeful of getting a Border Collie in the near future.

Elbie looks like such a good boy and looks really well trained! You have done a fantastic job training him so far, keep up the good work! :rolleyes:
