Oh of course. Although I am new, I am not stepping into anything blindly. Neither are old enough to even consider breeding them. So far both are in excellent health and are very well mannered and intelligent dogs. I have done research on the breed standard and I would never have puppies...

Update on this one. As Marius is growing into his fuzziness.:) He is showing more and more merle coloring around the collar (what I like to call his Elvis burns). I think the registration was right. Neither of his parents were merle, but I did remember that a previous litter brother of his...

Marius is all about the apples and bananas. Both him and Pandora will sit and stare while I eat an apple. Marius also has a thieving inclination towards breadsticks. He will open doors and jump on the table for those things. I don't think Pandora has found a favorite yet, she seems to be...

Pandora is just the same way. Still working on getting the comb near her. It is the only thing she growls at. She is great in the tub though. :) She will not do anything when we want her to. Shake? Even for bacon? Forget it. Shake just because. Of course. I think it is her age, she...

OH my, what a beautiful little boy.

I went out looking for food today. Ended up with Rachel Ray, because it was the only one at that store that did not have corn as the 2nd ingredient. The locations to buy pet food in my town are a whopping 2. The 2nd also carries livestock food, etc. I am thinking I might check that place out...

I throw on some shorts and sit on the edge of the tub and use the hand held shower for Marius. He likes to put his front paws on my knees and just chill while I wash him. The only time he really squirms is when I am trying to get his tail soapy. Then I let him play try and get mom all wet by...

As I was looking AT Marius' papers the other day I noticed that he was registered as a Sable Merle and White. I thought to myself...hrm, where did that come from?:confused2: He doesn't have a merle in his family for at least 3 generations. So here is my question. Can that merle gene be...

What a beautiful girl. My stepmom is looking at getting some new dogs out at her ranch here when her border collies are gone. They are both old, one blind, on with arthritis. I think I will direct her to a sheltie rescue center. I don't think there is any in my area, but maybe Washington or...

My pups got along right away. Actually, Marius helped us choose which little girl to bring home. They met on our turf, I hear that is not always a good idea though. Marius spoils her rotten. He lets her have his rawhide and his favorite toy (Bob). If he wants to be left alone, he gently...

What a cuite! I just love his little face.

Marius is 1 1/2 years old 25.5 lbs 15.25" (close enough anyways) Pandora (we have taken to calling her Panda or Panda Bear btw) 9.5 weeks 3.2 lbs 8.5" I think they are both normal. I always though Marius was a bit on the small side because there is a pack in town that I see walking...

a scare already I am finding so much helpful info on this forum. You are all great. I just took Pandora in a few hours ago to get her shots. She comes out of the hallway and her face was all swollen. I rushed her to the vet and she started crying and screaming on the way. He gave her an...

In the middle Marius stays on the foot of the bed until all is settled(i.e. light out, TV off, etc) then moves to the floor by the door. To protect us from intruders I assume.:rolleyes2: If he wakes before I do he will curl up behind my legs with his head on my feet. Pandora is claiming her...

Pictures I hope I have never used photobucket before, but lets hope this works. http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af110/MTMarPan/100_6573.jpg http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af110/MTMarPan/100_6562.jpg http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af110/MTMarPan/100_6546.jpg
