Welcome to the Dentbros Dogs Advent Calendar 2022!

Up until Christmas I will publish daily one (or two!) of my favourite photos of dogs and puppies I have taken in the past year, as part of my advent calendar. I hope you like them!

24th December 2022

Happy Christmas from me and my dogs! This is still my favourite photo of the year, as Murmur was only 9 weeks old when I took it. She’s absolutely brilliant at posing for photos – unlike everyone else. Ounce nearly always has her eyes shut as they are so light sensitive. Busy is quite often blinking. Luna is on lookout – gazing around. Quin is ready to run off. And Aura is usually worrying about something and not looking happy.

It is fun putting them into poses though!

Love my dogs, love seeing them again. Love being a breeder, despite the hard work and the heartache. Thank you to all my lovely owners. Thank you to Canine Concern for supporting us again this year. Thank you to Chris, as always.

Donation request

I am doing this dog advent calendar to celebrate my dogs, but also to politely request that you consider donating to Canine Concern. This is the charity that supports me going into school with my dogs and supports hundreds of other volunteers around the country, visiting lots of other places.

The charity is run very simply, by an extremely small team, with limited resources, although it does a huge amount of good. The volunteers are incredibly valued wherever they go; this year more than any other.

Thank you for your support.

Buzz in the snow! Such a sweet photo; I was really pleased when I took it. It finally snowed this month, so I went out with my camera and took a few more pics.

Murmur’s first snow! I think she enjoyed herself.

My beautiful snow leopard – Ounce.

Ounce – my snow leopard. She is quite a demanding dog. She needs lots of fuss and attention and is the boss of the pack for sure. I adore her, but she can drive me mad at times. I did agility with her for a few years, but she never seemed that fussed about it, so a year ago we started scentwork.

I have really enjoyed the challenge of scentwork – it has been a revelation to me. I thought it would be boring, but it really isn’t! Ounce is pretty good at it, but of course Border Collies are not really bred to work their noses, unlike hounds and gundogs. It’s fascinating seeing the breed differences. Border Collies can learn to do scentwork, because they will turn their hand to anything, but I don’t think we’ll win much. It’s fun having a go though!

Six dogs! It’s definitely too many. Not really what I thought I would do, but hey, they are pretty special. I find it almost a full time job, owning that many dogs. It’s certainly a challenge and not one I could easily do on my own. Fortunately I have Chris to help me.

We’ve been away a few times now with our dogs and I have discovered that if you take them along to a public place, you become a bit of a star attraction! They were such a object of curiosity on this day in particular, with people filming them and coming up to talk to us. They were pretty well behaved – I was a proud dog mum on this day.

Blue boy – Dennis. I have been lucky enough to breed quite a few of the myriad of colours of the Border Collie, including a few blue and whites, like Dennis.

We had three of the blue and white at our reunion in August – Dennis, Winter and Bronte. I have also had Chester, Ounce’s brother and Grace, Winter’s sister. Blue and white is only found in around 2% of Border collies, so it’s pretty rare, but very pretty, I’m sure you agree?

Murmur. This girl is so unlike my other dogs, it’s really odd. She is not your typical ‘crazy collie’ like her mum, Ounce. Murmur is sensible and quiet. She does get excited and squeak a bit, or wine, or bark, but in generally she is more measured. I love that.

I am looking forward to doing more with her next year. At the moment I plan to do agility with Quin and scentwork with Murmur. This may change though, we’ll have to see how they get on and how much time and effort I have to put in.

Puppies in school! It’s brilliant being able to take a litter of puppies into school for the children (and staff) to enjoy! Although it can be quite stressful for me as they are like a box of frogs. It’s a great opportunity to teach children where puppies come from and how they are bred. There is a world of difference between a commercial breeder or puppy farmer and how I do things.

My puppies are born in my bedroom and raised in my home, with hundreds of visitors to cuddle and play with them. They become confident, outgoing, sociable dogs – it really makes a difference!

Dogs really are the best therapy! Which is why I work hard to support Canine Concern, who provide such invaluable help in getting volunteers and their dogs into schools.

This is Rival, who lives with cocker spaniels, so he competes with them for attention, hence the name. He belongs to my friend Sam. We walk in the woods together – the dogs love running around together. We have 11 dogs so it is great fun! It’s nice to walk with friends isn’t it?

How is it that the puppies can go from this..

To this in just a few weeks! I do so love watching that progression and seeing the characters they will become. I spend so many hours with my puppies, I have to be ready to have them.

More pictures of my beautiful boy, Quin. He is sooooo handsome! He’s also absolutely adorable to live with, such a super character. Quin is so cuddly – he loves to lie on the sofa with his head on your lap while he chews a bone.

Quin is now my stud dog, but that does present us with a few problems, when the girls come into season! Fortunately we are able to separate them relatively easily for the week so we need to.

Quin is also a bit of a monkey for barking at dogs we see on our walks. His recall is fantastic, but he does love to shout at other dogs first! He is such a lovely boy in so many ways and sshh! he might be a dad in the not too distant future.

Of course Quin is the star of my book – A Year With Your Puppy – see below for details.
