Ebony's Story

Picture
Ebony's story begins about 3 years ago when we began looking for a bi-black collie with unique genetics. We found Ebony a little over 2 years ago in NW Minnesota. A breeder had bred her 1/2 Aussie and 1/2 Rough Collie to a friends Rough Collie male. They had some beautiful puppies. Some were Bi black and Bi blue. We chose Ebony. Here she is with her sire and dam...

Ebony was such a cute puppy, and we brought her home at the same time we brought Dexter and Dori home from Texas. The three were a whirlwind. I had my friend Kathleen take Ebony for a while so all would get the time and attention they needed. Kathleen fell in love with her too.

We've watched her grow into such a lovely lady with amazing disposition. She is the beginning of a line we have very high hopes for at Wind Whispers.
Ebony has a wonderful energy, upbeat personality, and is willing to go anywhere and do anything with us. She is a wonderful farm addition, and enjoys all animals we've introduced her to, is gentle, kind, and obedient. We hope to see more of this brought to our future generations.

By outcrossing to Ebony's genetics, and then bringing her offspring back into our program and breeding to our Rough Collies, we are lowering the COI in future generations, and adding more allele into the genetics also. (simply put) This ensures type remains consistent, but promotes longevity in collie breed because the Rough Collie breed is down to 1 allele for most and a few with 2 allele. (mostly located in the UK) Having only 1-2 allele puts the entire breed at risk if a disease were to affect the breed. ​I don't understand all about genetics, but we are proud of Ebony and these will be amazing Collies which will be registered with our Wind Whispers Farm Registry.

These are some of Ebony's photos growing up...
Now here is what you've been waiting for... Ebony's puppies with our Hurricane...
Thank you for sharing in our joys and accomplishments! We are so proud of them!
