Thought I would share the newest pup in our family. He is a 9 week old rough collie. On Sunday, he will be 10 weeks old, and we will have had him for 2 weeks. He put on over 1 lb. in just 5 days. Oh dear! His daddy is 75 lbs. I am hoping to train him as a therapy dog.

We rescued one in December but it did not work out so we went the puppy route. I love how tall they get. I always said I wouldn't get another large dog but here I go going bigger. My mom thinks I am nuts. LOL! Since he looks serious there, you can see four more photos I posted on my FB page today. www.facebook.com/patter.cross

He looks like a keeper Love his name. Good luck with all that a puppy brings I think they are so dang cute, so when they chew up you favorite shoe or piddle on the floor you can't get too mad.

oh, I love the pic of him hanging out in the cart at Lowes, and his little cocked head-- cuteness!! And I love how puppies sit 'sidesaddle' (as we call it, anyway) when they're little... one of our Shelties still sits that way, and it makes me smile every time he does it.
I've never actually seen any collies in person, so I don't know what I'd think about the size-- even though our Shelties are a little on the large side; the largest is 18 inches and just over 30 lbs, so I would imagine I could get used to it, lol!

He is so darling! My father had a collie when I was a kid and he was such a sweet, gentle dog.

Congratulations on your new family member! Sampson is a great name. I have always loved rough collies. Our next door neighbours have two, a sable and a blue merle (I prefer the sables). I wish Sampson a long, happy, healthy life with your family! And please continue to share photos as he grows.

Oooo, what an adorable tuft of fluff! I have always wanted a collie! When I was a kid, I used to walk home from school. There was a collie named Arrow who stood at the corner every day to receive his pats on the head from everybody. I have longed for one since.

My third (and favorite) child is a sheltie. So smart and so mellow. She seems like a person most of the time. When my two human children are being boys she just looks at me across the room with an all knowing look. Love that girl!
I would like to smooch that boy's face. So cute!
