Sheltie i.e. Shetland Sheepdog puppies for sale Beautiful Mini and Toy Shelties for sale! The Collie is a devoted family dog, especially with children. Although they require daily walks, they can also be couch potatoes. Despite the Rough Collie’s immense coat, they only need to be brushed about once a week, although the need for brushing may increase in shedding season. Collies are also a very clean breed and are noted for not having a doggie odor. Shelties love their families, but may be reserved at first with strangers. As a herding dog, they can be inclined to bark at and herd people. Shelties thrive on the farm but adapt to many living situations if given proper exercise. The breed’s dense double coat requires regular maintenance. Little Interlopers include dogs that’ve come into our system through various contacts, usually RMCSR volunteers.

My exposé of Wyndlair Avalanche has gone viral and now the breeders who support this practice are closing ranks and covering their tracks.

Funny, they didn’t have any problem advertising and lauding these dogs before when I explained just how bad double merle breeding really is. I guess they took your silence as tacit approval of their breeding ethics. Perhaps they mistook those ribbons for universal acclaim. But now it appears as though they are embarrassed!  Why else would they start taking down their websites that used to advertise these dogs? Meet Alfenloch A Beautiful Starlet, affectionately known as Nadia: as in she can’t see nadia because she’s totally blind.  If you can name any albino, blind, and deaf starlets, you’ll win a prize. I can’t think of one who even has two of the three. Nadia used to have her own webpage where she was advertised for her ability to produce entire litters of merle puppies. /nadia.html, but now it’s been removed.  Good thing google keeps a cache!TALIESIN ALFENLOCH ANTARCTIC (CCA AOM) ex Wyndlair A Beautiful Sunrise Bred/Owned by Alfenloch Collies

Alfenloch A Beautiful Starlet …. this elegant double merle girl has a long, lean, light headpiece with exquisite head detail, a huge coat and long, arched neck. She is very reminiscent of her exceptional grandsire, Wyndlair Avalanche. Nadia is very special to us, and our plans for her include breeding her to the exceptional tricolor, Countryview The Magic Marker in 2011, for an entire litter of blue merles! It’s really amazing why anyone would want to remove that webpage. Is there anything factually inaccurate on it? Did Nadia succumb to her genetic disease and the breeder wants to make sure no eager puppy buyers might get confused on where they can get their next blue merle collie from?  Or do you think that they are unwilling to take the heat regarding the morality of what they are doing? Poor Nadia doesn’t appear to even have eyes, and it’s clear that her breeder cares more about taping up her ears to make a nice picture than if she can actually hear anything out of them.  

I wonder if Diane Fitzpatrick, her breeder, even realizes that this is a living creature and not some inanimate object like a painting, a cake or a dress.  This is a living organism that never needed to exist with the dysfunctions it has to accomplish any goals.  No one needs to create double merles to get merle puppies. What is certain is that Nadia’s webpage was not taken down because Diane Fitzpatrick had a change of heart about Merle x Merle breeding.  Just this Saturday, Diane announced on the Alfenloch Collies facebook page that her Blue Merle bitch Alfenloch Silver Carrera had a litter of “5 flashy babies” with Taliesin Alfenloch Antarctic, another blue merle with Collie Eye Anomaly.  He won the Award of Merit at the 2010 Collie Club of America National Specialty and the Best of Breed/Best In Specialty at the 2010 Collie Club of Canada National Specialty.  These are not unknown dogs by some rogue breeders.  Antarctic has sired 3 different litters this year at Alfenloch collies.

Antarctic is Wyndlair Avalanche’s son.  Since Collie Eye Anomaly is a simple recessive disease and Antarcitc has it, this means that Wyndlair Avalanche is at least a carrier of CEA if not affected himself (who would know, he might not even have eyes that you could look through to diagnose it), it also guarantees that Nadia is at minimum a carrier of CEA as well.  So here we have the son of a blind double merle producing more double merles himself and winning top honors in two different countries while doing so. Any notion that these dogs are “oops, we didn’t know better” or “we didn’t know both parents were merle” should be laid to rest now.  They’re doing this on purpose knowing full well what can happen. update: In response to appearing in my Who’s Your Double Merle Daddy? post, one of the breeders in question who advertised her use of Wyndlair Avalanche as a stud with “Wyndlair Avalanche (“Aiden”) x Mainstay Back of the Moon (“Stella”) …
