Two are spayed females and the other is a neutered male. My two reg. BCs, Newt & Kelley, also neutered and spayed were bought from two different breeders here in Va. Actuallly, Newt was from an accidental litter and has unilateral Hip Dysplasia, one reason he was neutered and Kelley sadly has Collie Eye Anomaly. She was spayed at 4 months because her eye disease is inherited. I didn't seen any reason to pass that on to any puppies she could produce. So I'm a real advocate for spaying and neutering, even for purebred dogs. Getting back to Skyler and Quest, they are also both neutered because they went oversize though purchased as show hopefuls. Quest is blue merle, white & tan and Skyler is bi-blue without any tan points. Well, guess that's enough for now. I look foward to posting on GP and meeting some new friends.

How lucky these guys are to have you and your Mom (who has earned her wings. bless her) Have they selected their roll yet? Has any of them stepped up to be the alpha? Do they have any disagreements?
