Puppy update
You may recall we brought 3 dogs with us, and then bought a blue merle border collie as our "New Zealand" puppy.

OMG!! I love collies, one of the smartest dogs. My neighbor once had a collie that looks like Lassie one of the cutest ever.

Re: Puppy update
My folks had a rough collie/Siberian huskie cross but his coat was a nightmare to keep brushing! He was also gorgeous though.

Hi Jan, I have a blue Merle too! I can't believe it, I've never seen one while I've been here and those that have seen him are always in awe!
There just great! And he's a beauty xx

Re: Puppy update
You get blue merles from crossing a red and white with a black and white, but only if they have the right gene - we saw blue merle welsh corgis for sale this week! I've learnt you shouldn't breed blues with each other as blue merle is caused by a recessive gene and two together causes things like eye problems....
We took him to Rangiora into town this weekend to get him used to cars and noise etc, he was a bit of a head turner - and very well behaved too! Agility classes when he's stopped growing
If only I could stop him chasing the irrigation water spray
