    Congrats on your new pack member.

    I think the youngest we’ve taken pups on trips was Peg’s full litter at 6weeks of age.
    I took Sawyer on a 3500 mile trip at 12 weeks of age. I had a 4 year old Collie that kept him company. I just stopped every two hours so he could potty.
  • Adorable! Have you named her yet? Cocoa or Fiona come to mind!

  • Congratulations on the new pup, is it a Collie or Sheltie? Over the last year I've raised two new Collie pups the oldest is 1 year old and the youngest is 6 months old. Sawyer went from 13.2 pounds to 76# and Sasha went from 13.3# to 46#. Just remember to have lots of patience.

    I had a kennel that size it took about 3 weeks for the Collies to outgrow it.

    I also remember taking them outside every two hours because of their tiny bladders to use the rest room any longer they would have a accident.
  • Nice dog. I love to take them camping. I took my Border Collie on her first week long river canoe trip at 6 months.

    Looks like a collie or maybe a large sheltie.
  • What a sweetheart! Properly trained she will give a lot of wonderful companionship.
  • Congratulations.... what a cutie. Sure she will make a great camper!
