We are having a warm Christmas with highs in the 70’s but my whelping box has 3 beautiful, snowy white puppies. Ferrari’s three white boys are three weeks old now and doing well. They are growing steadily and starting to show their unique personalities.
It is a busy time of year to have puppies, but these little guys are getting so cute they are certainly worth the extra work. Here are a few snapshots of the pups. It is tricky to catch them awake at the right time with a camera ready. They don’t exactly hold still on demand to pose for pictures. They are hilarious to watch as they learn to play with each other. Best of all is when they climb in my lap for a nap. Nothing is sweeter than a puppy.

This is Luigi.

This is Mario.

This is Yoshi.
The pups are scheduled for health and eye checks in early February. One of these boys will tentatively be available around February 7th. 2026. Email Debbie at tairiscollies@yahoo.com for more information.
This litter of white boys is bittersweet for me as it will absolutely be my last. I have raised collies for going on 35 years. It has been a huge part of my life. Collies are the most wonderful dogs, They have brought me much joy and sometimes heartache, and always love. My daughter was supposed to raise this litter, but there were so many problems that I stepped in to do this one more time. I love collies as much as ever but my dwindling stamina tells me it is time to leave this endeavor to the next generation. I hope to live out my days with the 6 adult collies I have here now. I couldn’t ask for more faithful, loving friends.

Merry Christmas from me, the pups- Luigi, Mario, Yoshi, and the big girls- Poppy, Willa, Grace, Bee, Ferrari, and Winter.
