We have 2 smooth collie puppies looking for their forever home
Puppies 2022
We have two puppies awailable, a male (Ottraway Dedenne) and a female (Ottraway Dialga).
Other puppies already went to their forever homes.
All puppies are very open to people and quite curious, strong in character. They are well socialised, I introduced them to different situations, foreign dogs and other animals, people of all ages. They are already doing very well outside, they are used to living in the house and to crates, they have already driven a car a few times (and a wheelbarrow several more times, hehe). They are getting used to the collar and walking on a leash.
Puppies are regularly dewormed. They prefer to eat raw or cooked food, and a little less kibble.
A few puppies (not all :)) from this litter have a lot of energy and will need owners who will give them a job to do (not just the phisical, but also mental!) and direct their energy properly. I still think that they are suitable for beginners, but not in the style of “I choose a dog for beginners because they don’t need to be trained and they behave well anyway.” Training them is not difficult, but it is necessary.
I expect them to be passionate about dog sports or any other activity, whatever the future owner chooses. They are currently interested in everything.

About smooth collies
Loving family dogs, friendly, versatile and lively breed. Never nervous and aggressive, with a high susceptibility to learning, as they are very intelligent and also easy to motivate. They are ready for work, so they are suitable for various sports, such as agility and obedience, and they also prove to be good rescue dogs. Due to their gentle nature, they are extremely suitable for dog therapists as well as helper dogs for the disabled. They are happiest if they can enjoy close contact with a human being. Therefore, they can also be very suitable for beginners, but only for people who are not inclined to use rudeness and will not use a hard grip when learning. Lively outside, ready for action at any moment, calm and pleasant companion in the apartment.
For a balanced character and physical condition, they need longer walks, enough exercise, playing with people and various sports and canine activities are also desirable. As a downside I could mention that they take over the lifestyle of the owner very quickly. They are extremely happy if they live with active people, if they live with inactive people, their happiness is impaired. Most likely, they will not show any destructive behavior, however, as “couch potato” they will not be happy. They are of a gentler character. Great importance must be attached to good socialization, as it is the foundation of harmonious coexistence.
They are very loving to all family members, including children. They like to feel part of the family and are by no means suitable for living exclusively in kennels or separate from their family. When they take on the role of guardian, they like to announce the arrival of a stranger loudly. They may be a little reserved towards strangers, but never aggressive. If they feel uncomfortable, they prefer to choose the option of withdrawal. They quickly make friends, both with strangers and other dogs. They are very friendly towards other dogs, during the game they mostly adapt to the size and physical strength of their four-legged friend. They may be skeptical of large animals, but they get over their distance very quickly. We often see them as “friends” of various other pets.

Due to the constant desire to please their owner, they are very easy to teach and train. They love to collaborate with their owners. Learning with positive motivation is recommended. The advantage is that they have a good appetite, they like to please the owner, and the prey drive can be easily encouraged. They respond to rudeness with uncertainty, confusion, and refusal to cooperate. They need a partner who will treat them in a gentle, calm and consistent way. They are suitable for beginners. Attending a dog school and a good degree of socialization are an advantage in establishing a good partnership.

Short hair (2-5 cm) is very undemanding to care for, so infrequent brushing is enough. Under the short overcoat that is sharp to the touch, they have a lot of undercoat, which is changed twice a year. Daily brushing is required when loosing hair. Furminator has proven to be the most useful so far, brushing with it takes about 10 minutes. A big advantage over the long-haired version, whose brushing can take up to an hour. Otherwise, long hair does not even have a major advantage.
