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:
the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, loving concern.

Need I ask about hereditary disease and health checks?
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

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  ;)
