» Border Collie ‘V’-litter (with ’plant’ themed names)«
DOB: 09 March 2019 ♦ Border Collie, rough-haired ♦ 1 male and 1 female
Out of Dragonstone's Styx von den Pixelpfoten and sired by Pixietail's Footloose of Elite (owned by Mionlach Kennel).
About the parents: Styx is a more rarely seen seal-white colored bitch. She was born in our kennel and we’re very proud about having her as dam for this litter. Styx is a bit stubburn like her sire Mephisto. She knows exactly when it’s worth the work and when it isn’t it. She has excellent herding skills. Sometimes she’s a bit too near or too harsh to the sheeps, but with the time she learned to be more restrained. Sadly we hadn’t the time to show her in many trials but we’ll try to be more active after her litter. Styx is reserved to stranges, she’s neutral or friendly to other dogs and she’s very loyal to us. Footy is a very beautiful red-merle-tri dog with stunning blue eyes. As we saw him the first time, we were immediately fascinated about him. He’s a showlined dog with some very popular dogs in his pedigree. Footy can also work hard, he competed in shows and trials and he already won BISS.!
About the puppies: It’s the first litter for Styx. She was earlier friendly to the puppies of our other bitches and she liked to play with their puppies. Styx’ pregnancy was uncomplicated. On the 09 march she gave birth to two proper puppies. The birth was a bit stressfull but in the end all went good. The first born puppy, a female, is seal-white colored like Styx (aka Verbena). And the second puppy is a blue-merle-white boy (aka Viburnum). Both puppies gained in the first days more and more weight and we’re sure, both are healthy and active proper puppies. =)
This litter is special for us because we use our new kennel name ‘Lux Aeterna’ the first time and these puppies are ~ 75 % showline (we usually have mostly working lined pups). So, we’re very excited about their future. And a special thank you to Mionlach Kennel for this handsome sire (and also for creating the pups together!).

We first thought that she’s a black-white girl but after a few days we saw a brownish shade (which we know from her mother Styx). Vera will move to her father Footy as soon as she’s 8 weeks old. In the meanwhile she’s a cheeky puppy and full of joie de vivre! =) Vera is interested in new surroundings and both puppies try to be the first one when it comes to treats, toys and much more. We’re sure she’ll enchaunt all future peoples in her life with her cute expression!

Numi is the second born pup and he’ll stay with us. After around two weeks we saw the first time his beautiful blue eyes and we hope that these will stay (and they stayed...). x) He’s like his sister full of ‘nice’ ideas and both test out everything - nothing is safe from them! We’ve the feeling that we see in him also some similarities to Mephisto, his grand father (dam’s line), so his growing up will be thrilling for us. We’re also excited if he’ll get maybe some protection skills.
We’re sure that both puppies will have a lot of talent for herding and obedience because of their very versatile parents.
