IT'S TIME! Puppies are ready for placement!

We are so thrilled to see what amazing dogs that this litter has presented. When you see the pictures and video you will agree too!  I've put up the links below for the pictures, with each pups name so you can tell them apart. We hadn't intended on giving them names but Bonnie and Don are soo good at picking names to match their pet it was irrestistable to just use the names they've been calling them. I'm really interested in giving them their official kennel names and if anyone would rather do their own just mention it on the application form. If you choose to keep their temporary names that's cool, but of course, they will learn any name you give them

I've emailed out the application form for the puppies to anyone who I have signed up on the blog. In addition, I'm going through my email inquiries but I'm sure to miss a few. If you do not have an application in your inbox right now, please send an email to oldtimescotchcollies@gmail.com and I will reply immediately with an application form. Pups will be placed based on matching the puppy to the family wants/needs. Each of these guys is unique, and each day you get to see more and more of their individuality come through. They will all be gentle souls, but some more than others. I will begin placing them around Sunday.  Please do not send money with your application.

Families who apply for puppies will be notified within 24 hours whether their application will match any puppies that meet their wants/needs. Most likely sooner.

The pictures and video's I've posted today are CURRENT. I will eventually add the images of them between 3 and 7 weeks later on for historical purposes.

We get so many people stopping by the farm for veggies who fall in love with their beauty and gentleness. They hate to hear that there is a waiting list!

They had their first shots, got wormed and were health certified by the vet last Friday. They've been thoroughly evaluated for their eyes, teeth and general health. In addition, they will receive microchips before going to their homes. We'll be using a company that requires only a one time activation fee.

One amazing and exciting part of our litter is how the OTSC heritage is present in the litter itself. You can see that while every pup has the mannerisms and personalities of their parents, it's so easy to recognize "types". These types would have been pulled and eventually developed into their own breeds from the Old-Time Scotch Collies of over a hundred years ago. Many of the pups are 'typey' and as far as looks go, will grow to appear like some of those breeds. 2 pups fit into what you commonly would consider a BC (Angus/Sarge). We also have one with AS characteristics (Bingo) and yet others share the looks of your typical ES (Heidi/Charlie). This is how the litters of the typical scotch collie pups should appear in my mind. We have two males who are close to the spitting image of our Oberon at their age (Dash/Trouble).

My biggest challenge has been deciding which puppies we will be keeping for ourselves...

I've uploaded over 200 pictures of them taken this weekend!
Here's a slideshow of July 2, 2011 link, but use the links below if you want to view each picture in your own time. It's pretty obvious that it was over a hundred degrees that day!

Pups at Vet July 1 
It might take awhile to figure out if you have never viewed pictures on Google Photos before but it's pretty  simple. I chose to do it this way to save time in getting the pictures out to everyone.

I'm working on uploading the video footage, we have over 20 minutes of raw footage of them resting and at play..
