9 pups from a Huntaway x collie bitch sired by my main working collie ''Bill''
7 weeks old ---good strong pups
''Bill'' is an excellent sheep worker and in demand as a stud locally , the dam works a small suckler cow herd
£200
Picture's available isn't the best i'm afraid as they wont stay still long enough to get them all in view--

I think there is a group on FB called working sheepdogs, you could also advertise them on there... :) Hope you sell them soon! They look gorgeous :love:

Need I ask about hereditary disease and health checks?
-
Both dog and bitch are healthy and have had general checks by vets at some stage
Pups haven't seen a vet yet but will be vaccinated in due course
Hereditary/genetic conditions ---not that i know of (Bill has sired plenty of litters before with no problems in the pups)

Not quite what I meant.
After your pups leave you or your dog has sired pups you are unlikely to know of any of the following -
Collies are rather more prone than other active breeds of a similar size to developing hip dysplasia, an inherited condition that usually becomes apparent by the time the dog is two years old.
Epilepsy is another one of the more common risks for Collies, which is again generally considered to have a genetic factor to it
One of the most common Collie health problems is a condition called Collie eye anomaly, which is an inherited defect that can lead to blindness.
A predisposition to dilated cardiomyopathy in Huntaway dogs
These can all be tested for, and even in crossbreeds it is worth doing for your own peace of mind.

There are plenty of pups sired by Bill in the working local farming community ----with no report of the above :)
Still puppies left if you're tempted ;)
