a head scratcher..or maybe im just overthinking?
So, do you think they were going to try to create a sheepie-collie? Just a family that believed a dog should go through their first heat before being spayed? The real kicker...we got Finn and Fiona both for 400$. They gave us Finn's AKC papers, vet records..every paper sheet needed and then a whole bucket of toys, another bucket of brushes and leashes, all easily coming over the price we payed for the two dogs (including a bag of wellness dog food!! Good golly oh molly!) Anyways, what do you guys think was going on?  |

| Good Question! But it sounds like they wanted them to be happy with you. |
| Sounds like they were overwhelmed with the dogs and wanted them to go to a good home. Makes no sense to keep their toys and supplies, so they were included in the purchase. I wouldn't concern myself as to their motives for breeding rights. |
| As above-found they didn't have the time or energy to look after them properly so wanted a good home.xx |
| Do you know who the breeders were that Finn and Fiona came from? It would be good to know if the surrendering family had a contract with the breeder that either dog come back to them if the family could no longer keep them. Most show breeders have such a contract, If there's no contract, the best thing to do is to get both Finn & Fiona altered, i.e. spayed/neutered. It isn't unusual at all to wait until after the first or several heat cycles to pass before spaying a female. It doesn't necessarily mean they were planning to breed the two to each other but looking out for the best interests of the dogs by waiting until they were a little older and the growth plates had closed. Sorry, I can't even visualize with a mix of an OES and a rough collie would produce.... As other posters have stated, the family may have just wanted the best possible home for these two dogs. I'm involved in OES rescue and there are as many reasons for surrendering a dog as their are dogs. Some reasons make complete sense and others are ridiculous but we still try to find the best homes for the dogs. Just accept the fact that you hit the jackpot with two lovable herding dogs and all the trappings of a privileged past life. Apparently the family thought there was something missing in their life. Now Finn & Fiona have it all! I love happy endings.  |
