My Dogs

Remember me posting pics of these 2?

Originally they were called Casper & Jasper, but shortly after we decided to change their names as I felt it didn't suit them, so they were renamed Max & Paddy, yep after the tv programme starring Peter Kay & Patrick McGuiness (I'm a big Peter Kay Fan)

This is Max & Paddy now

Max

Paddy

They are now 5 months old. It turned out that they weren't crossed breeds but in fact pure Border Collies. Max is what they would class as a red & white collie. They are very active, but also very intelligent dogs. They have fitted in really well with our family & get along with all the cats, although Shadow does put them in their places & they know not to mess with him.

Thanks for the update pictures of Max and Paddy - they do look like lovely dogs and certainly have good shiny coats. Bet they keep you and your family active!

They do keep us active Angie, but we do enjoy it & my daughters certainly enjoy taking them out for walks with me. It's good for us to spend that time together as a family plus 2 energetic dogs get to let off some steam & my cats get a little bit of peace & quiet

A lot of people have comented on that & I did orginally think that maybe a springer had paid their part in these 2 being born, but the previous owner of the pups managed to find out who the dad was & it turned out that dad was in fact a collie. Strange though that mum was a black & white collie & so was dad, but out of the litter of 5 pups only Paddy was black & white. Max & another pup were the red & white, there was also a tan & white & the fifth was like a mixture of the red, tan & white colour.

By the way I've no idea what's happening with Paddy's ears. Up until a week they were both sticking out but now one has gone forward lol think they've got a mind of their own!

lol awww well they might both carry the tri/red gene!

could have had springer in them if they arent full peds etc!

gorgeous what ever though! love chocci colours so rich and yummy!!
