All Collies Posts

This video is so cute of a rough sable and white collie named Britt.  I only wish I was as good at making videos as this.  Ah, a future goal perhaps.  http://www.youtube.com/user/0romy

We have an odd problem.  Stix, our very creative boy dog, knows he has a long nose and has decided that he is going to use it.  Problem is, he has bumped it upon something less than soft and he now has a little raw and red nose.  At first we thought no big deal.  We asked our veterinarian what to do for this and we were told to use an ointment called, Sulfodene.  Great, we...

You know how I know this, it's by way of the many falls our family have taken thanks in part due to our beautiful and playful Collies.  When they are younger, they know not how strong and big they really are until they find themselves being yelled at.  Yes, we do holler at em once in a while.  I have been taken out from under my knees by the ole Stix fly by down the hall trick! ...

It's always nice to have some helpful products ready at your side when you have a couple of rather large grooming projects prancing around in front of you.  I love to use products that don't have much smell factor since I myself have asthma.  I like to take to our local groomer for the large portion of work but to keep our dogs shiny and skin from becoming dried and flaky I have found a ...

When it comes to grooming the dogs they are so very different.  Kindr our older female tri color collie has a show dog back ground.  She was given to us by the breeder when we lost our beloved Acorn, a sable and white collie.  Kindr was used to being groomed on a regular basis.  At this household do not have the time or the expense account to groom as often as she may be used t...

Yep, Stix, our collie that loves to play and manipulate anything into a toy has started bringing me rocks.  He happily hurls himself into the house through the dog door at full speed with a tiny object in his mouth and what is it but a tiny little rock!The RockPhoto: D.PollockSo, to recap, I picked up that rock and threw it outside then I found it again, the same rock, sitting just outside of...

Collies love to run.  As seen in this U Tube from, gerrned, this mom is having fun teaching her youngsters the joy and skills at a rather young age.  Collies have proven to me from a ripe young age that they have many various skills when it comes to tackle warfare.  Hence the reason  my sister and I came up with the free base idea.  The bases in the yard, were very clo...

I was in the mood to see just what other dog tricks have been put out there on U Tube and found this really cute video of Paige, a Border Collie.  You can go to snuggliepuppy to view even more tricks that this adorable dog can perform.  I must say that I caught myself wanting more of this and watching several videos.  There is a cute cat that seems to like watching all the ...

I came around the corner of our formal dining room the other day to see an odd shape upon the carpet?  What is that I pondered?  It lay just outside the dog gate by a few feet or so.  In fact it was close to the toy basket we have in the house for set up for Stix.   I would say for Kindr N Stix, but Kindr doesn't play with toys.  Kindr prefers to nip at Stix's heels, ...

Well, collies are known for their long, slender noses.  So, you can imagine that once in a while they get them into predicaments that are, well, lets just say, sub optimal.  Such is the case Stix found himself in with his stately long and slender nose just this past week.  Yep.  We caught sight of it and realized that it's normal black color was amiss.  It was now ...
