Camano Island, Washington State USA |
Below are just a few photos and stories that we have received from our puppies' new
families. We have been thrilled with all the emails and digital photos.
We still receive many complimentary telephone calls and photographs-
Which we enjoy immensely! |

Hi Shannon! Ronan and Tehlah are doing wonderful. At first, they were wary and unsure of us. They were so quiet and didn't move around much. Well, now they are very noisy and unruly, Lol. At first they wouldn't come to us when we let them out to go potty. We have a very large yard that's kind of like a field with trees and bushes and all sorts of explorations were taking place. Now they know that if they come when we call they'll get a treat. They automatically come and sit to receive them after only one lesson. They whine to go out when they need to. Ronan never has an accident, But Tehlah will if I don't respond. Tehlah is terribly jealous if she thinks Ronan is getting something she isn't. Ronan doesn't care a bit. He just looks on and quietly watches in his noble way. They have a great time together and Joe and I can't imagine life without them both. Thank you Shannon and family for the best Collies in America and beyond! Warmly, Jan and Joe (OR) |
Hi Shannon...... Ginger is doing great! She is a hand full and very spunky. I like
her personality but I forgot how much work it is to train a puppy. Garbo is liking
her but lets Ginger know when she does not like her annoying puppy bites.
Ginger is learning very fast. She is very smart and affectionate. I'm being
very consistent in the potty training. We love her very much. Not so sure yet
with Garbo and Ginger but time will help as Ginger knows her limitations. Oh,
we did take Ginger to the vet and she came out with a good report. I have more
shots scheduled for next week. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Marilyn, Cesare, (humans!) Garbo and Ginger (canines!) |
I guess better late then never but here are some pics that I got of her before she
moved again lol. She is growing like a weed and has long legs. The
vet said that she is so beautiful and wanted to know where I got her from.
She is such a sweetheart but also has a lot of energy. We will try to
catch more pics with both of them together hopefully (They have an older collie
from another breeder). We tried today but they where not interested instead
they wanted to play. They really enjoy each other that when one is gone
they are now lost without each other. Hope you have a happy and safe holiday
and we will promise to stay in touch and send more. Talk to you later Gordon and Gypsie (AZ) |
Hi Shannon, Bodie is doing just great! I haven't weighed him since the end of Feb but he was at 44 pounds then so I believe he is about 50-55 now. He is beginning to fill out. Lucky for me, only 1 of his nails is black so we have been trimming his nails (had the vet do it for a while). He is such a part of my life I can't imagine how it would be without him. He is a talker and loves to cuddle. He watches tv with me and when he gets bored, he rolls over on his back and goes to sleep. I hope all is well up your direction. Take care, Barb and Bo-D (OR) |
Hi - Just a quick note on Miranda (Lizzie) who we picked up on March 3rd. She is
doing great and loves the family. She is very outgoing, mouthy and nothing really
phases her. Shawn (OR) |
Hello Shannon: Shaymus made the long road trip here famously, coping and cooperating with all the arduous demands of traveling 3,000 miles, behaving and comporting himself like a real grownup which at 60lbs he looks to be. All of which would make you, Maverick and Panda proud. As he nears seven months it 's not an overstatement to exclaim--he's Magnificent! And healthy! He talks! No, I'm not exaggerating. He makes the most endearing sounds emanating from his sweet soul. So before bedtime and upon waking each morning, he desires an up-on-the bed time with us and unlike any collie, any dog we've ever owned, appeals to us with his vocalizations. Shaymus is such a dear soul housed in such a formidable body, who could resist? We can't. You'd be proud to see his pilgrams progess,Shannon. He's quite a magnificent animal. Phil and Clovis (TX) |
Hi Shannon, While visiting a Seattle dog park, we ran into another puppy from Shamrock M Ranch. This time we ran into Oban's real sister Tippy from the same Joey x Monet litter of September 2009. Attached a pic of both, tough to tell the difference. One on right is Oban and one on left is his sister Tippy. Take care, Prat (Puppies are 7 months old at time of photo) |
Here is a picture of Duncan (Grant) born March 1,2009. He is the sweetest animal I have ever had. Victoria (WA) Maverick x Athena Puppy |
Maverick x Dixie Pups (5 Months Old) Shannon, Thank you for your prompt response. We now have two registered AKC collie babies! Snow is really Gaileo and Rider is Aristotle. You could not find two entirely different personalities, they are amazing. Snow is very agile. He can literally jump off the ground and is extremely active. He pays attention to everything. He was the first to see the moose lying in on the path and always looking for our wild turkeys. He loves to give kisses and is very sensitive. He was first to master the art of housebreaking and he has not had an "accident in over a month. He is darling and always wants to please. Rider is big big big!. he out weighs snow by 10 pounds and is always ready for a meal. He is so strong and has the sweetest disposition. Always layed back. He too has mastered the art of housebreaking but with a few more mishaps. He does not have the level of concern that Snow has, but he is learning. Rider is also affectionate. He loves to lay in his "Dad"'s arms and get his belly scratched. Thank you again Shannon and we will send more pictures as they grow and mature. We really appreciate you. Susan (Idaho) Both pups are super healthy and I know they had an excellent start on your ranch. Thank you! |
