Oh God

I don't know what to say, there simply are no words

Another convertee here

I've been tossing up whether to join MDBA for quite some time, I will get organised and apply to join now! You are amazing

Have lit a virtual candle as I had to go to lectures tonight. Sadly my mind was not on them. Pouring all my thoughts out to you Jed.

What an amazing family DOL is

What an absolute shock I have nothing to say that hasn't already been said. Sending gentle hugs your way Jed

I voted No CC's handed out at any show AUSTRALIA WIDE

Me too

Thought I'd add, our National is once every three years. Ample opprtunity to save hard to go if you really wanted to. It is only one weekend.

Khayoz kennels owned both the BIS and RUBIS winners. What a huge weekend for John and Kate

ME ME ME I've had the HUGE pleasure of handling Thor. We even got shortlisted in a very strong Working Dog line up. He is a truly beautiful dog and I can't wait to see him and his lovely sister mature into fine examples of their breed.

Well done to you all

It was put over the loud speaker at the show I was at yesterday afternoon that Blossom had been found. I certainly hope that is the case and that she isn't still missing

After going through this nightmare a month ago, all I can tell you is you WILL get through this. :D It's a hard hard thing to do but we do it with love in our hearts.

Thinking of you today

YES Border Collies can live happily in suburbia! They do not need acres and acres to run around on. Trust me mine live on acreage and spend their lives lounging around the house!

YES my Whippet is meant to be this lean and NO I am not mean and starve her!!!!

I've actually found this thread quite distressing.

I responded in good faith and then came back to read other people's responses.

It's painful enought to recall the deaths of beloved pets and share that without finding out that someone thinks it was irresponsible to not do more 'research' or that my vet may not have chosen the most humane method of pts.

I feel the same. I wish I'd never come back into this thread. It's all still way to raw for me I knew the time was coming for my darling girl but the last thing I wanted to do was spend even a minute researching the "best" way to do it. In my opinion there was no right or wrong way. The ending was always going to be the same, me coming home without her :D Nothing was ever going to change that

We unfortunately lost both the bitch Aust. Ch. Japhtabull Padme Amidala and her 11 puppies on the 23rd April. ;) This was the litter due on the 30th April.

Oh my ;) I'm so sorry. What a tragic thing to happen. RIP mum and babies

I did and it was the worst day of my life

However, I will do it again when necessary

Jazz had her pups this morning by C Section 1 boy 1 girl

I'm a grandma I wish there were a few more for you, however you do have 2 and they will be gorgeous! Good girl Jazzy xx

I think it may have been some sort of poisoning as well. Thank God she has her sight back, how scary it must have been :nahnah:

oops. I guess quotes dont work so well on mobile phone internet.

I was trying to say that i think there will be at least 1 blue and white puppy. Ill be very suprised if any other colour pops up though.

I'm betting on a chocolate ;)

Listen you two......if there is any colour each of you will be receiving one lol ;)

Wow, free puppies. We might hold you to that promise. :p

Dear GOD if one of them comes out chocolate, I want a DNA test done :p Not that it wouldn't be lovely

I would LOVED to have been able to go and see these beautiful dogs on show. Good luck to all who are attending and for those travelling from interestate, travel safe

Fly from the movie Babe. She tipped the scales in favour of the Border Collie over the Golden Retriever for us when we were deciding on which breed to own. Needless to say we never looked back

I don't think I got too many terrier photos - people were crowded around the ring and kept walking in front of the camera.

I know I have a couple of the bedlington though!

The Bedlington was a stunning dog

HUGE thanks to all the Border Collie supporters. We are home and totally exhausted but just beside ourselves It all happened so fast that it hasn't had time to sink in yet, but when it does. LOOK OUT What a truly amazing day for Nahrof Border Collies, I couldnt' be more proud to be a part of this amazing kennel

We have live feed puppy cam up and running now.

Feel free to pop on in and say hi to our lovely babies. They are growing at a VERY rapid rate with three of them almost at 800grams. 1 week old tomorrow.

We have babies. Started at 3pm today and im pretty sure she is done.

3 boys and 2 girls

Well done!!! We've got babies together again

he's sired that many pups but how many are in pet homes vs show/breeding homes?

Yeah that is the point I was making.

and yes I know SG The $1,200 they make off yogi compared to say $8,000 (correction his fee is now over $13,000) for a top stud who I'll initial as BL, who's stud performance has been very poor and dissapointing, according to grey owners/trainers I know. Grey litter registrations are way down compared to say the early 1990's (which is a good thing IMO). Back in the day of Chariot Supreme, having 6 bitches in 1 month was considered a really bad month, compared to a full book of 14 bitches. Off topic a bit but there you go.

Ahhh yes I know that particular sire. I used to have to handle vials of his "Gold" occassionally where I used to work. It used to send me into a cold sweat it was so expensive

I even woke out of a dead sleep at 3am one morning after having a nightmare that I hadn't put a cane of it away into our tanks. I actually drove the 45minutes to work to check.

Our puppy cam is up and running.

www.e-performancedogs.com you can see our babies here

A day early by my calculations but Benshiva babies are here

Trouble started at 8:40pm and finished at 12.15am. 3 girls and 2 boys. All black and white and all well marked as well.

Mother and babies doing very well!
