Basin Border Collies' Spice (Daisy's Sam X Dottie) is bred to Autumn Nip (Abingdon Ranch's Tip X Lonerider Nan) and is due to whelp in March.  This breeding is a repeat of 2009's cross that resulted in two outstanding cattle dog prospects, BBC Rio (see After the Sale page) and BBC Cayenne.  Also in the 2009 litter were BBC Beth and BBC Punkin who are now showing as medium drive, dual purpose sheep/soft to medium cattle prospects.  Most of these females were showing strong herding instinct and drive by 5 months of age.

These pups will be reds, medium to the slick side coats with good dispositions.  In the past, the majority of Spice pups have had stock drive ranging from medium to high and low drive pups have made great active home pets.

I plan to do some more trialing with Spice and we will be working cattle on local ranches through the summer and fall of 2010, these puppies will be the only Spice pups available this year.  Over the past six months there have been many inquiries as to when Spice pups would be available again, three pups are already spoken for.  I would suggest if you are seriously interested in a pup from this litter that you consider putting in your request to go on the list ASAP.  Pups can be held with a $300 deposit, refundable or transferable if there isn't the sex or level of herd drive pup you need in this litter.
