Miss Vixen

Thank you

I’m not looking into breeding etc, I just like the idea of researching and outcomes

I’m looking more at coat colours and what you’d get crossing one genome to another etc

I'm trying to learn as much as I can about collie genotypes etc and I'm all confused lol. Are there any good sites or books to help out? I spent a few years researching various reptile genetics but I find dogs are so much harder to understand. From my understanding, a standard black and white collie would be - BB? And black and white tri would be - Kk? I'm not even sure if that's right lol

Thank you

Where’s the best place to go for DNA testing? I want to get Belle tested and I found these sites but I want to make sure I’m choosing the right one. https://www.ahtdnatesting.co.uk/tests/combined-test-offer-3/ or http://www.laboklin.co.uk/laboklin/showGeneticTest.jsp?testID=8626

She’s definitely more active in the evenings. She tends to have her puppy naps during the day. Her last feeding is dry food around 6pm.

Belle seems to have settled in well now, she's learning basic obedience, sit, stay, come here, lay down, leave etc. Plus she loves her walks now considering only a week ago she was frightened of the leash. Accidents in the house are few and far between, she goes to the door now when she wants to go pee/poop. However, she pees so much in the evenings. I'm talking every 10-15 minutes. During the day she usually goes once every 4 hours ish but from 6pm onwards, its crazy. And she pees every single time she goes out too. She's 4 months old on Monday and otherwise healthy. There's always fresh water available at all times and she does seem to drink more in the evenings. Any ideas why she's peeing so much?

Wow what a big and handsome boy

Personally I can't see anything rude about this post. I second it in fact. People on here are nothing short of helpful and friendly but if want to become argumentative then you won't make any friends on here. Do you have any experience working livestock? Is your bitch a working dog? It would be easy to produce puppies for pet homes but its far more complex to produce puppies with strong instincts and a great temperament to work sheep.

I thought I would take her with me to the pet store today and she actually walked by my side on the leash! She did really well, I'm so glad the training is paying off

Thanks guys. She's got the pink puppy kong and the red one I have which has lasted 6 years so far belongs to my male but he's not a destructive chewer thankfully. There's also a puppy teething ring which we've put in the fridge for her. I'll have a look at the wubba's and zogoflexs now.

I''ll probably probably buy another kong then for her. She gets the treats out so quickly though, not much of a boredom breaker

My 13 week old Belle is going through toys like theres no tomorrow and attempting to destroy our older boys toys too. Any suggestions for good toys that are somewhat durable and obviously safe for her to chew on? Alfie has his own Kong which he loves but will that be too tough on her teeth?

Oh wow those eyes are beautiful
