I love me some pitties, but goodness, name them what they are. When you say collie though, I think of Lassie (or LucyCollie's smooths), not a border collie. Maybe it's a US thing? Maybe it's just the people I'm around?

I made a deal where I'd come to see her every single week while the puppies were not weaned, and I paid for her food and the pups food. They did not have to pay for the spay, I did (2.5 months after the weaning). They took the deal (I had to argue and argue with them... they had 4 other adopters for momma dog.) I didn't pick her, I hated that dog when she was a puppy. Incorrigible, stubborn, take-your-stuff-and-run dog. I saw her covered with fleas, took pity, and took her home for a flea dip. (She puked in my car on the way home). I was in love. =) Sometimes they do pick you. I don't think I'll ever find another Olivia. I wouldn't encourage anyone to try and breed for one either.

I bred them (as showdogs) for over 15 years, and wound down because they paced, and whined, and cried all the time. Bored to snores when not actually DOING something. I was not interested in going hunting, although I did dosome obedience, and Gundog obedience with them. Not enough. We want to HUNT. Whippets were so much easier, and laid back and QUIET.You are gross. Really? You bred a hunting dog and weren't into it? Gross.
