PuddleJumperPups makes stunning collars, leashes and harnesses as well as accessories for those.

Val is getting a smaller collar that maxes out at 16 inches plus 3 larger ones that go from 16 to 26 inchs. Once the order is delivered, I'll take a ton of photos to share!

I'm not too into accessories, but I have a weakness for buying clothes for Chloe. I can't help it, she looks cute in everything! I recently bought some cheap baby clothes at Goodwill I'm planning on converting for her, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Are there any trick suggestions for teaching Lucky?

So, Sage has a thing for water. Whenever she is drinking from her dish she puts her paws in and started splashing it every where! Yesterday she even picked up the bowl and dumped the water all over the floor. How do we fix this?
Also, they dig. Help!

i'm super excited!
we might be getting a puppy once we've moved, settled in, and saved up.

i'm most interested in border collies, so i was wondering if you guys could let me know what you think of the following breeders?

hollowshot
solaras
wilsong

if you would like to recommend a breeder, please, by all means, but the breeder must:

- fully health test their puppies
- only breed a litter once or twice a year
- ideally produce show quality puppies

i do not have a tight price range, but nothing insanely expensive, please. the most i'd like to spend is $2,000.

--

also: could i get a breed recommendation? no mixes pls. my heart is fairly set on border collies (yes, i know all the requirements of owning a bc) but i'm flexible in the long run. my first girl lola is an aussie doodle, but i'd love a purebred pup i can eventually do showing with. here's my form:



Have you had dogs before? What breeds? at this moment i have a 7yo australian labradoodle.
Are there any breeds that have already caught your eye? If so, why? border collies - for their intelligence and energy.
How much time a day do you have to devote to training your dog? probably about an hour at minimum to much longer stretches on weekends.
What kind of grooming needs are you prepared to handle? daily brushing + weekly baths, probably. i get my dog professionally groomed at a boutique where i am friends with the owners.
What kind of energy level are you looking for? high energy, with a calmer cuddly side when needed.
What do you plan on doing with your dog? agility, definitely. flyball, frisbee also likely. conformation a possibility but not a priority.
What size dog are you wanting? medium. no small dogs, no great danes.
What age dog are you looking for? puppy.
What kind of livestyle do you live? (Active, couch potato etc) active. i hike and jog with my dog often, as well as doing backyard agility for entertainment with lola.



thanks!

so this morning I was talking to my granny while working on my essay for the end of the year.


we were talking about what we wanted to do later this afternoon and I said "i might bring Layla for walkies"
and I SWEAR I'VE NEVER SEEN ANY DOG GET MORE EXCITED TO HEAR THAT THAN HER.
SHE WAS RACING AROUND THE HOUSE AND BARKING AND JUMPING AND PARKOURING FROM COUCH TO COUCH IT WAS SO HILARIOUS

Mark! When I get WiFi I will be posting some photos of the pups I've been hanging out with while visiting family. (:

At the dog park this guy brought a remote control car with a fluffy cover over it so dogs could chase it. I don't think I have ever seen Daala run so much in my life

and cute pictures by the way shadow~wolf! Lucky and Sage are so cute Congratulations on the puppy!
