Retirement Litter
Fall 2025 Litter
Heritage Our Laddie & Sivyer Glen Bonnie Scarlet Ree.
Expected October 18th.
2nd and final litter of this breeding pair.
Our 2nd litter of Scotch Collie puppies is expected to arrive October 18th, 2025. This means puppies will be ready for new homes around late January, 2026.
This litter will be between Heritage Our Laddie and Sivyer Glen Bonnie Scarlet Ree. We expect a wide range of temperaments to come from this pair, across the whole spectrum of dispositions, all the way from low to high energy. We do not breed specifically for color, but for those curious, sables, both bifactored and trifactored (shaded), sable merles, tricolors, and blue merles are all possibilities.
As Scarlet is a Sable headed white (SW/SW), all of her puppies will be white factor carriers. Color headed whites are not possible with this combination, as Laddie’s white gene is S/si. Possible combinations for these puppies will be:
S/SW
or si/SW
**Laddie is CEA “collie eye anomoly” carrier/unaffected. Scarlet is negative/non-carrier. This means that roughly 25% of their expected litter will be carrier/unaffected. **
**Scarlet is MDR-1 carrier/unaffected. Laddie is negative/non-carrier. This means that roughly 25% of their expected litter will be carrier/unaffected. Please note that carrier/unaffected dogs can still present some slight sensitivities to MDR-1 class drugs, thus caution should be used when any veterinary procedure is done or when using pest preventative drugs such as dewormers and flea prevention.**
What will puppies recieve prior to heading to their forever homes?
