Border Collie Puppies

Bred for temperament, health,
conformation and character


Spitfire is currently enjoying herself doting on her recent litter to Woody (Bekkis Virtuoso). Spitfire is a daughter of Hercules (Mastamariner First Sea Lord) and Esther (Mastamariner Corvette) and a grand daughter of Cider (Caristan Cider of Mastamariner). Petite though she is Spitfire produced three big bouncing boys and true to her character, they just had to be that bit different.

Woody has previously sired litters to Esther (Mastamariner Corvette),
Ruth (Mastamariner White Enign) Ruth's sister Rachel (Mastamariner Wavy Navy) and Britannia (Mastamariner Britannia), we have been delighted with the quality, type and temperament, willingness and conformation of the puppies and we confidently expect Puppies from this litter to grow into outstanding Border Collies.

Spitfire and her grand mother Esther
Mastamariner Spitfire and Mastamariner Corvette


Spitfire is a daughter of Hercules and Esther , Grand daughter of Cider, half sister to Ruth, Rachel and Britannia and niece to Scrumpy.
Spitfire is a very willing and biddable even if she has to everything at top speed and with a distinct lack of risk assessment.
Spitfire could justifyably be accused of occasionally being just a little bit over the top, but when she is so sweet and endearing it is hard to hold anything against her.

We are not commercial breeders, we care very deeply about the homes in which our puppies will live. Before enquiring about puppies please read the conditions on the Puppy Homing Conditions Page of our web site very carefully, we are very choosy about where we place our puppies.


Hercules
(Spitfire's father)


We only allow our puppies to go to loving, permanent homes with daytime company and lots of fun and affection. We only consider homes where children are older (at least 12 years or above) so that there will be time to be dedicated to the care and nurturing of a new family member and where a puppy will valued as an individual. We favour homes that have previous experience of dog ownership and who understand the time and commitment needed to fulfill the expectations and needs of a young dog.

Worming

Spitfire will be wormed daily with 5ml of Panacur since the 38th day of her pregnancy and will continue to be wormed at this dose until the puppies have completed their first worming at 2 weeks of age. The puppies will be wormed at 2, 4 and 6weeks of age. This programme is formulated to ensure that the puppies are born and remain free of worm infestation throughout their infant lives. We provide a Worming Certificate detailing each puppy's worming history and recommend an ongoing worming programme to enable new puppy owners to keep their new pets worm free for life.

Border Collies may be susceptible to a number of diseases and abnormalities some of which may be inherited. It is never possible to guarantee that puppies will not suffer from health problems because although their parents may have been tested, some problems only appear later in life and may not be apparent until a dog or bitch has produced many offspring.

Some conditions are inherited recessively which means that although both parents may apparently be clear of a particular condition those same parents may carry the potential to produce the condition in their progeny. Although the information contained in this site is accurate and true to the best of our knowledge and reflects current thinking on health matters, we are breeders and as such not qualified to offer advice on health issues. The appropriate person to advise you on health matters affecting dogs is your veterinary surgeon. We require all prospective owners to consult a veterinary surgeon regarding potential health issues in the Border Collie before considering ownership of any puppy we breed.
