Do you remember
'Jeff's Collie' the first
Lassie show?...
Tom Rettig, who played Jeff with Lassie on
the hit TV series [later featuring Jon Provost
as Lassie's boy] was a successful child star
in Hollywood. He appeared in several feature
films and on TV. As a young adult, he became
a computer programmer of some reputation
and great skill. Sadly, he passed away as
young man, but before he left this world
he wrote a "program" that anyone
can "execute". It contains some
important messages for everyone. You may
find it here
"Snowy"
March 16 2003.
A final
thought...These pup
were not bred
to be "show" winners, since breeding
for just looks and a "Show" is
irrelevant to us. These dogs were bred to
be all around champions of health, strength,
character and good looks.
I believe we were successful and all of these
dogs are living a happy life.

Collies,
Variations on a
'Working' Theme.
go to the new dedicated page for this
article.
We have been asked an
interesting
question...
Why do we call TahTay an "American Collie"?
Additionally, other people have inquired
about just what is a Scotch Collie and are
they related to "Farm Collies"?
To answer these questions, there is lot of
history to cover, so lets just dive in and
find some answers....
"Actually,
I'm Cary Grant...
can't you tell?
Tah Tay
Cookie
Above
and
left - Meet "Cookie"
Scotch Collie
(Dream Dancers Oatmeal Cookie)
She is Intelligent, Lovingly watchful and
very athletic. As a strong alpha, she keeps
Tah Tay very strong as they play.
Our Collies
We wanted to
just
bring forth a hybrid that
although makes the purest breeders cringe,
the combination made some lucky owners a
tremendous companion. A champion in their
own right, even though there is no "blue
ribbon" at the end of the day, there
is the light and joy in the eyes of the young
at heart of all ages.... Collies are companions
and there gentle behavior is a matter of
inherent record.
Daddy TahTay
(at left) "helped"
to create some young ones about a year ago.
We are
going to tell
the story in pictures
of were all of the young pups went, were
they are now and we will cover their future.
The Pups
took over a
large portion of the
yard and we had created a closed off section
for them to safely play, roam and explore
the world.
