As we knew Bond was blue and white (carrying ee red and tri) and Spangle was slate merle (carrying choc and tri) we were expecting blue/white and slate merle puppies only from this mating...some with and without tri markings. It was a HUGE shock when the first puppy born was a Golden (ee) red boy!!! This proves that Spangle actually also carries ee red!! Spangle is all UK ISDS breeding with no Australian or New Zealand bred ancestors so this gene must be present in the UK ISDS lines.
Litter Pedigree
Six (and a bit) weeks old...
At six and a half weeks old we have grown lots, we are becoming fat fluffy pups and very very active!! We will soon all be going to our new homes...

Red and White boy - Bryning Bring me Sunshine
In the last 2 weeks Otis has really come out of himself and become much more outgoing and independant...he will be staying here 'til he is nearly 10 weeks old while his new mummy's, Jayne and Lesley, are on holiday. Otis will be doing lots of training in his new home.
Blue Tricolour Girl - Bryning Ray of Sunshine
Still very bold and lively, Jace will be joining another border family including two more 'Brynings' when she goes to her new home with Julie Kondor at Trevellis border collies. Jace will hopefully be shown as well as doing flyball and agility in the future.
Slate Merle Girl - Bryning Sparkle n Shine
Well, not the solid coloured boy I'd hoped for from this litter but after much deliberation we decided Dazzle will be staying here. We’ll see how she grows up and then decide what we will do with her; she was definitely the quiet one in the litter and I won’t be too disappointed if she stays like that…I don’t think I could cope with another Dot!!
Red and White Girl - Bryning Rise n Shine
Twix is a really beautiful little girl...very active, outgoing and playful, she will be joining her new 'brothers' Spud and Jag when she goes to her new home with Amanda Pigg where Twix is destined for agility...we wish Mand and Twix all the best!
Blue and White Girl - Bryning Time to Shine
Teal will soon be going to her new home with Joy Costello and her family where she will be trained for agility. Teal is a real dynamo...always on the go!! We wish them all the best together!
Four (and a bit) weeks old...
We have grown a lot in the last few weeks, we are eating solid food and are now very playful (and noisy!!). We have lots of toys but by far our favourite game is to bite Nats' toes!!!
(Apologies for the quality of these pics but I was single handed!!!)
Red and white boy
The quietest of the five puppies (doesn't get a word in edgeways with 4 sisters!!)
Blue Tricolour girl
The biggest and loudest of them all...there's no missing her!! In both looks and personality she reminds me very much of her big sister Dottie!!
Slate Merle Girl
Quietly confident...she's a steady but playful little girl and the smallest in the litter.
Red and White girl
Confident and playful but not as noisy as her blue sisters...a real sweetie in fact ;-)
Blue and White girl
Very confident and outgoing a really lively and playful little pup.
