Atchafalaya Be A Rebel
Rebel (Pebbles) is a black and white BC, but carries the chocolate colour. Rebel was born
on Mother's day, May 13th 2007, to
Mallie and
Sputnik.
Mallie was especially happy about the whole thing, although she had trouble keeping
up with the milk for what was quite a big litter.
Pebbles has a temperament very much like her father in that she is a quite homebody when she
wants to be, but is also happy to go nuts chasing the other guys around the yard when she is
in the mood. She also has a big spot on her neck just like her dad. At this stage her coat length
and thickness is more like her mum's, which is not too long or thick, but she is a bit young to
tell what her adult coat will be like.
Rebel has been tested for
Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (CL) by Allan Wilton and found to be clear
of this mutation as per test report BC3732.
She is also clear of
Trapped Neutrophil Syndrome (TNS)
by parentage. For more information, please see the
Border Collie Health page.
