This was a very special litter indeed. As Miss Bella was not supposed to have another litter so soon as she just raised a litter of nine and we wanted her to have a break.
But as usual she had other ideas and had what is called a silent season. Now this means that she showed no signs on being in heat and our first inkling was when I arrived home to find her and Nero tied in backyard, so I immediately locked her up and kept them separated. Now I knew that two things probably would happen she would either not fall pregnant or she would have a very small litter and yep when we went for the ultrasound it showed two babies present.
So, when the litter was born, we were blessed with two gorgeous puppies a little Tri Chocolate Merle Girl and a Very differently marked Blue Merle Boy.
Now our friends at Wottapud Border Collies contacted us and asked would we send the boy back to them so they could use him as their new stud dog. So, he became Royal and has sired some stunning puppies since. He is a lovely cuddly boy and has pasted on his very handsome looks to many of his puppies.
As for the gorgeous little chocolate merle girl well, she was destined to stay here at Bellamiscela to become our new mummy to be. We called her Izzy and to keep in tradition of our Italian pedigree her official name is Bellamiscela di cioccolato which means beautiful mixture of chocolate, and that is exactly what she is.
Now Miss Izzy has grown up and had two lovely litters of puppies but she certainly is not built like her mum so we have decided to retire her early as we managed to gain an absolutely stunning Tri Blue Merle Girl called Boo
