Post by: Pigtails on June 11, 2009, 08:47:44 pm: Hi Rosemary, Mum is a first cross retriever and dad is a true collie,
retriever + collie = Gollie

A Golden Retriever to a Collie is a Gollie! Is Mum a pedigree Golden Retriever? or is she a crossbreed? If she is a cross breed the pups are not Gollies.

Mum's mum was a pure bred golden retriever who was unfortunately mated with an english springer spaniel ( she was raped). Mum is a black retriever,
Dad is a pure bred Border Collie,
Pups, hybrids, gollies, or just sheer unadulterated mongrel, we love them to bits.

We are unsettled with a name for the wee girl, hubby wants "Emma" after great great grandmother "Emma" who was also pure bred golden retriever,
I like Shan, but hubby not keen.

All or any suggestions welcome for the wee girl, boys are Rhum & Gunna and no arguments there.

At 6 weeks? I doubt it, too young.

Post by: doganjo on June 13, 2009, 10:09:52 pm: earliest for jabs is mostly 10 weeks these days, occasionally soem vets start tehm at 8 weeks. Silly place to take pups of that age - can pick up all infections.
