!!! Litter announcement !!! Waiting list is open for the best loving forever homes! Get in touch early to reserve your special fur baby!
We are delighted to announce that our gorgeous Tri-Coloured Border Collie Bella is expecting a litter of 5 puppies due 10th December 2025. Puppies will be ready to join their forever loving homes from 4th February 2026, your perfect 2026 ******************s!
Puppy Parents - Mummy Bella and Daddy Rory both are tri-coloured, handsome, healthy, athletic, loving treasured family pets with excellent temperament. Both from ISDS working line, showcase the distinct Border Collie quality that combines intelligence, loyalty, elegance, agility, athleticism and devoted unconditional love in this excellent breed. Mummy Bella particularly loves young children and is a frequent visitor to local nursery and suppprt at school match day, also excellent with other animals as we keep sport horses too.
Mummy Bella and Daddy Rory had produced a healthy litter of 6 gorgeous puppies; we have a lifelong litter social group via WhatsApp for families to stay connected and share regular puppyhood memories and meet up for walkies and sleepovers.
Puppy Nutrition - All puppies will have the absolute best start in life, I work with a canine nutrition coach to ensure Mummy, and her litter have the highest quality diet and supplement from the very beginning. The puppies will be fed on cold pressed food as a base with a variety of protein topper including fish, eggs, chicken, turkey, duck, lamb, goat, beef, etc; homemade bone broth, goat milk and organic herbs fermented dog kombucha to soak dry food at early warning. Daily mixed fruit & vegetable bowl will be served to give the puppies early exposure to a wide range of food, this supports the development of gut biome diversity, which is essential for gut health, strong immune and reduce risks of developing food allergy and skin irritation.
Puppy Health – my canine family planner will be conducting home visit (in a similar fashion to human midwife) to check puppies in their early days at our home environment. Microchipping will also be carried out at the comfort of our home to reduce the risks associated with visiting Vet practice where poorly dogs are seen and treated. I use laboratory worm count to scientifically evidence the need for specific worming treatment, as excessive chemicals in small fragile body can be damaging. Puppies will be wormed just before they head to new homes as precaution.
Puppy Vet Check Ready – All puppies will experience “mock vet examination”, so they can be confident and ready for their first vaccination with new human parents. My dog walker’s daughter is a trainee vet nurse, we are in good hands!
Puppy Early Socialisation- puppies will have an indoor and an outdoor play area.
Indoor - Puppies will be accustomed to everyday household sounds such as TV & Radio, washing machine, hoover, tumble dryer, hair dryer, wood burning etc. I also use smart speaker to help de-sensitise puppies for the sounds of shooting, fireworks, waterfall, rain, wind, birds, as well as foreign languages!
Outdoor - bespoke glasshouse area equipped with sand pit, ball pit, water bath, puppy slide, round dish swing, crates, artificial grass so they are confident with movement, motion, heights and get used to crates.
Puppy Water Experience – not all collies like being wet, I have puppy life jacket for a little dip as a taster!
Puppy Confidence – from 3 weeks, there will be regular visitors of different ages and genders to handle puppies, including nursery group toddlers. Puppies will each have their own carrier bag for daily “bag walk” around the local area, including visit to farm shops and pubs, passing cows, horses and sheep.
Puppy Yoga - around 8 weeks and just before puppies head to new homes, they will meeting new people away from the familiar home environment through Puppy Yoga. I have had great success with the last litter and can see the puppies grow in confidence hugely through this.
Puppy Car Travel – puppies will experience travel in the car with their Mummy, and as a litter together, so they are used to car’s motion in readiness of travelling to their new homes.
Puppy Goody Bag - Each puppy will go home with a puppy paw print art work, a comfort blanket with familiar scents (or family can bring their toy/blanket of choice in advance) so the litter scent is with puppy, a home-made toy with litter scent, natural treat and food.
Puppy Viewings - once family suitability has been established, we highly encourage perspective new parents visit the puppies regularly and start building a strong bond. Each puppy has different personalities and characteristics, so it’s important you and the puppy are the perfect match!
Human Family Screening & Vetting - We are looking for active, loving, committed and responsible forever homes for our puppies; potential homes should consider family lifestyle, work pattern, home environment set up, as well as puppy training planning, healthcare & wellbeing planning, dietary planning, etc. The litter will stay connected via WhatsApp group to share puppyhood memory together.
How to reserve your new furry family member - A 20% non-refundable deposit will be required. New parents are strongly encouraged to regularly visit puppies to build a strong bond and help puppies with an easy transition to settle into their new homes.
