Joust is one of a litter of puppies that we rescued along with their momma. Would you believe they were scheduled to be killed at a shelter in Georgia. Thanks to the efforts of an independent group of volunteers, they and several other dogs were pulled out and brought to us in the hopes that we would find them forever homes. I think we can do that!
This litter is absolutely beautiful! Momma is a Smooth Coat Collie, you know, like Lassie. Daddy, well, Daddy was a travelling man.... Judging from the babies, he might have been a Bernese Mountain Dog, a breed similar to St. Bernards. Whatever he was, these babies turned out just beautiful!!! Joust is scheduled to be neutered on August 11th and will then be ready for his forever home.

7/22 Foster Update:
Joust(We call him Scout) is the smartest puppy I have ever met! He already knows how to sit and lay down! What an accomplishment for such a young dog! His potty training is going beautifully and we have minimized the messes in his crate and in the house to almost zero. He loves to run around and play with his sister and brother. We've noticed that he would make an excellent frisbee dog! He cant get enough of chasing that thing around the yard! He is very obedient and will do anything to please. He truly gives a new meaning to man's best friend. He's also very affectionate and loves to give kisses and hugs and will flop down in front of anyone to get a belly rub. And what a looker! With a combination of the tan around his eyes and white socks on his front legs you can't help but look at him and think awwwww. This dog is going to grow up and be the perfect family pet.

7/28 Update:
Littermates Early, Jest and Joust were scheduled to be spayed/neutered today but they didn't make the trip because they came down with a cold. We never risk the health of a dog by having it fixed when it has a cold, so these three will have to wait a couple of more weeks before they are ready for their forever homes!

8/13 Update
Joust is neutered and ready for his forever home. He is a rambuctuous little guy, with a good does of Collie instincts. When he plays with the other puppies he tries to herd them along, nipping them on the neck in that Collie manner. Freaks some of them out! Joust is a great candidate of agility training ~ he is just too smart for his own good! An active family who will spend some time training? Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about!!!

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, "For centuries the Rough Coated Collie was hardly known outside Scotland, but it is now one of the world's most popular breeds. Descended from generations of hard- working herding dogs, it is a conscientious creature of immense intelligence. They are used as water rescue dogs and have served man as sheepdogs for centuries, guarding and herding flocks. The breed's name probably comes from its charge; the Scottish black-faced sheep called the Colley. Early Rough Collies were smaller, with broader heads and shorter muzzles. The Collie is so intelligent that he has been trained for many purposes, as a rescue dog, guide for the blind, movie star, and as a guard dog. Queen Victoria kept Collies at Balmoral Castle in Scotland and her interest launched the breed's subsequent popularity. J.P. Morgan and other members of the upper class have owned Collies. At this point Collies were mixed with the Borzoi, and *ALL* show dogs had to have the Borzoi influence for them to win in the show ring. The working dogs separated, branched out and became the different breeds (with the Scotch Collie remaining) and the show type became what we see now, the large dogs with flatter faces. The Collies great beauty has made them a favorite show dog and family companion. The Smooth Collie is more popular as a companion dog in Great Britain than in the United States, though he is gaining popularity in the U.S. today. The Smooth Collie is the same as the Rough Collie, but without the long coat. The AKC considers the Rough and Smooth Collies as varieties of the same breed. They are judged by the same standard with the exc
