Puppy incoming!
Discussion
Yesterday was an enormously exciting day for me and the girlfriend;
We finally found a Tricolour Border Collie boy who will be joining us in 8 weeks.
My love affair with Collies started in 1995 with the arrival of 'Gus'. He was the very best Dog a boy could ask for and was my very loyal, wonderful companion for 15 years. He was the best boat/ car/ city/ countryside dog that anyone could ask for. Great company in any situation and enthusiastic about everything right to the end.
Through him a life long love of Border Collies was cemented and it has been a very long 5 years without one in my life.
I am so pleased to finally be in a good position to have another one, with lots of searching and waiting it is nearly time!
Ladies and Gentlemen, meet 'Loki';
Here he is with Mummy and his brothers and sisters;
And here is Dad;
We also got a chance to meet his Grandad as well as checking all of the hip and eye scores for both parents.
I have asked them to keep him up to 10 weeks so he has the best chances of an excellent and healthy start to life. The next 8 weeks are going to feel like an eternity!

Thank you both 
I think I may take heed of your advice there Bex and bring the date forward by a week.
That way he will land before the bank holiday weekend in May meaning we both get more time to settle him before going back to work.
I'd go and get him tomorrow if I could. It's all we can do to not drive back up there for another look at him!

Thanks Mustdash. He is turning into a handsome chap.
We couldn't resist 'popping' the 100 miles up the M1 this weekend to see him again and how he has grown.
Very pleased to report he is coming along well. Is already the biggest and hairiest of the litter and was very happy to be handled.
He is giving all the right signs of being quite placid when away from the others and with lots of eye contact too.
Here are some pictures of him at 4 weeks and 2 days:
