Big news on the farm! Yesterday Breeze successfully delivered 11 (yes, you read that number right!!) Scottish Collie puppies. 6 of them were delivered in a den she had dug under my porch before I got home from work, lol - Breeze is true farm dog! It was very considerate of her to have her puppies during the day - nighttime is much more common.
Thane is the proud father. For the sake of full disclosure, his PennHip score (an x-ray that measures the amount of laxity in the hips) is slightly above breed average on his right hip, but since he is 5 years old and seems perfectly fit, I decided to use him this one time. If puppy owners want to x-ray hips, I'll be offering a partial refund to help cover some of the cost of the test; see me for details.
Breeze is a wonderful dam so far - very attentive to the needs of her babies, and very reluctant to leave the whelping box. All the puppies seem healthy and vigorous so far. ❤️
Here are the puppies.

I can't wait to see their little personalities start to emerge over the next 8 weeks!! ❤️
