These puppies were born Feb. 17th 2012. So...this rancher had his favorit all time purebred Kelpie named Captain. He has many stories to tell about Captain's long working career. He bred him to another working dog of his named Scout 1. She was part border collie and part Australian Shepherd. Thus, he got a female, Bubbles. Bubbles is getting on in age now but was accidentally bred twice. One litter last year and this litter now. This owner has too many dogs of which he admits. I am helping him to place the puppies because I can't stand to see them end up as another of the many dogs on the farm that are not working and tied up all day. I do think they are good working dogs and deserve individual attention and to reach their full potential. . He is too over whelmed with taking care of his elderly bed riddern mother right now. There are 4 puppies. 3 males and one female.
The female and one of the males are about the same size and look exactly alike. They have similar personalities. They want to sit at your feet and beg to be picked up and sit on your lap. Right now, that is their main purpose in life!
One male is a bit bigger than the rest. He is a bit more mellow and is less interested in begging for human attention. He likes to explore and be bossy.
One male is in the middle of the two extremes. He also likes to explore but does not like to get to out of touch with the pack or humans.
None of these pups is shy or fearful. They simply plow thru mud puddles, crawl or leap over ruts and logs and natural obsticles. They clamber up the porch steps, get trounced on by the bigger dogs with out getting phased. There are alot of other dogs and cats milling and running around but the puppies take it in stride.
