Four
years ago we picked Judy from a litter of motherless pups. We were
told that they were a cross between a collie bitch and a chocolate Labrador. Although I have my doubts about the Labrador part. Judy looks more like a lurcher than anything.
Most
of the pups were the typical black and white border collie type but there
were just two that were milk chocolate brown and white and it was those two
that caught my eye. I had one of them in my arms. Sniffing that
glorious puppy smell and kissing its adorable, silky ears. This is the
one, I said to Bert.
Then
I looked at the other brown and white one. The black and white ones
did not stand a chance! I set brown number one down and picked up
number two, smelt its puppy delectableness and felt its soft and silky ears. No,
it's this one!
And
that one it was.
I
heard, although I'm not certain it is true, that Judy was the only
one of the litter homed direct and that the remainder of the pups
went to a rescue centre.
A
few years back we spotted the picture in the local paper. And thought
that Coco looked a lot like Judy. We wondered if she could possibly
be the other brown and white pup. Then, while going through Pearlie's
bits and pieces we saw that she had clipped the picture and kept it.
Bert is convinced that Coco is Judy's long lost brown and white
sister. I wonder....

Could they be border and kelpie? Is there a way to find out if it's her sis?
Kelpies are almost unknown in this country. I think she might be a lurcher type which is usually a hunting dog bred from collies and greyhounds/whippets.
I am hoping to find out more which is why I've posted the clipping. This is a small town.
Charming dog tho.
