Uther's First Day - We bring home our Rough Collie Puppy! WARNING - EXTREME CUTENESS!!

The 11th of January... we bring home our new puppy, Uther (oother) from Wales for his first day with us. He has been long awaited and is a gorgeous Sable and White rough collie from one of the oldest and most establisehed breeders in the UK.
This video has highlights of his first day with us, including our journey home, his first meeting with our boy Bevan Bear (a tri rough collie) and him exploring his new home.
WARNING contains extreme cuteness. May be so sweet it causes diabetes.
This is the first video in the Uther and Others playlist and we will be showing you the life of our new puppy and his journey into adulthood.

[@BlueViking70]

As owners of two rough collies in Dorset, my family and I totally resonate with the love you and your wife so obviously have for your beautiful dogs.❤

[@richwhilecooper]

They do no get the adoration they deserve, and while I like the fact they are not common anymore, which makes them even more special to share a home with, I wish the breed were more prominent. We are lucky to have another Rough Collie in our village who is related to our old tri, Bevan.

What a playful disposition. You have a beautiful puppy. I had a smooth tri- collie for 11 years. I lost him during Covid19 and I miss him dearly. Nice to see collie puppies again.

[@davide1976]

What a gorgeous puppy. And I see he has very loving parents! Congratulations. Our rough collie is 15 months old and we're absolutely in love with her. Thanks for posting this video.

Uther as an adult reminds me of my parents’ Zack who is 10. They resemble each other so much.

[@gingerels]

aww its so special that you could film Uther coming home :) we have always had rough collies in our family as they are such beautiful well natured dogs - my parents grew up with rough collies, I grew up with a gorgeous blue merle, & we currently have a 3 year old tricolour & a 1 year old sable 🐾

[@skee6706]

How fun for all of you They are the perfect big with great big hearts and so loyal. We cant wait to start training and hiking with ours.

[@SistahRev]

What a calm, caring, well-paced, and well-supervised transition & introduction you provided for your beautiful new boy! After months & months of waiting, I am now just 2 weeks away from the 12-hour drive that it will take for me to pick up my 8 week old rough collie puppy here in the USA! Depending on how well he tolerates car travel, I may have to split up our ride home into a few days- hopefully there will be a National Forest and other open spaces available for a romp or two along our way! Thanks so much for sharing your story!💐💐💐

[@richwhilecooper]

Thanks for watching and commenting. Uther is 7 months old now and growing fast (we call him sheltie-legs at the moment becauae he seems to get longer then taller in spurts!). He has assimilated well with our 5 year old and you may have seen the other more recent videos i ln his play-list... but if not, check them out! Good luck with your new arrival. There is nothing more joyous than a new puppy!!

[@SistahRev]

Rich While-Cooper Oh yes! I will check your channel for other videos! It will be fun to see Uther’s growth- rough collies go through such a radical transformation during their first 8 months, whereas it seems most other breeds are born more resembling their adult selves. Thanks for your reply 😊

[@richwhilecooper]

Sure no problem! It's the 'Uther & Others' Playlist.

[@agovics1]

One more week lol :D And they take cars rather well at least from my experience. Some are scared just don't drive like a maniac and don't make his only association of a car (in the future) be for a vet visit, since then he won't like the car. Generally I hadn't experienced rough collies (now on my 3rd in the last 20 years) as nauseous when it comes to riding in a car.

[@edinscot56789]

I'm amazed how docile Rough Collies are

[@richwhilecooper]

They are very gentle dogs, good with children too. They can be sensitive and nervous if not raised to be resilient. They have stamina but do not require a lot of exercise like a Border Collie would. They are smart but not Border Collie smart. They bark rather than bite and make excellent sentinal dogs. They like humans and make excellent companions.

[@3698s]

@@richwhilecooper I would to add that they have a great deal of empathy , are loyal & very goofy at times. There is nothing quite like a collie!

[@richwhilecooper]

I totally agree. Our new puppy Uther is nearly 5 months old and he is by far the goofiest of any of our RCs. And yes, you are totally right about the empathy. When my father-in-law had cancer, our dog Ruskin would just get next to him on the sofa and cuddle up to him. He was glued to him.

[@elisabens25]

Oooh!!!!!! We adopted a puppy mill pup (girl) had been in squalor for 5 months our previously adopted boy has taken the role of teaching her how to be a collie!!!!! Many happy collie kisses and nuzzles to u!

[@AmazonWebService98]

@@MemClem i just want to teach them to sit lay down and stay by my side

[@MemClem]

@@AmazonWebService98 just young puppy energy, being naughty, biting running around, not being house trianed. all the things you'd expect on paper, but worse when it comes down to dealing with it in person. You can definitely teach your dog to sit and laydown from an early age, Jupi did as soon as he came with us. but things with duration, like staying by your side (or staying anywhere in fact) will take more time, as they grow older. He's more rebellious in his teenager phase (~7-9 months or so), conveniently "forgetting" commands sometimes, but he has the stamina to wait and learns new tricks and tasks very easily now.

[@richwhilecooper]

He has just completed a 13km hike from Eskdale to Ravenglass in the Lake District. Both our Roughs climbed and clambered, raced over boggy ground and went for a paddle in the River Esk where it meets the sea. They are string and robust dogs but right know they have crashed out on the cold slate of the kitchen floor after their big adventure today (which included sausage cooked by a chef in a restaurant and a train ride home).

Rough Collies for sure. Shelties look similar as puppies but are a lot smaller, as you know.

[@michoumakes]

I've just come across your vlog. I had 2 rough collies exactly like yours. Great dogs too but 2 totally different characters. My tan was my first and a bitch and a wonderful dog. She lived to 16. The black one was the male, lived till 14 but oh did he howl! Unfortunately I acquired him from a distant relative when he was 2 and sadly the howling had become his established habit. I can't say we enjoyed being woken up at 4am by his howls but despite that they were both wonderful dogs. 👍

[@richwhilecooper]

They are amazing. I would not be without them. Your two sound like they were wonderful dogs

[@richwhilecooper]

Uther is from a breeder called Ingledene. They are one of the UKs top rough collie breeders.

[@hehejejehe2866]

I really want a collie but I work a full time job. I got my first collie when I was 12 and I trained him to go off leash in a field and on our lawn in just 3 weeks at the age of 15 weeks. I work a full time job and I am going to give him 1 hour of field exercise in the morning and 1-2 hours when I come home. I will also be paying a neighbourhood kid to walk my dog around the block and play with him in my backyard for a bit. Do you think my dog will be ok.

[@richwhilecooper]

That's plenty of exercise. The time he spends alone is the main concern especially as a puppy. Ideally he's not left alone for more than an hour or so. If he has a companion, when older, leaving for longer, say 4 hours, is okay and it sounds like you planned for this.

[@adamszych7440]

Hi! I'm going to be an owner of rough collie in a few months, but I live in an apartment, is it really moderate active dog like they say it on the Internet ? How much exercise do they need daily? I've been considering also other breeds but I'm in love with Collies, even so I cannot imagine that I couldn't provide my Collie all she needs.

[@richwhilecooper]

A good walk twice daily and regular trips outside for toileting. Tje level of stimulation is just as important as distance as the enjoy sniffing and they are generally friendly towards other dogs if socialised as a pup. They easily take to games of fetch and will initiate play with you. You should not over exercise a puppy but an adolescent or adult dog will quite happily follow you around on a long hike all day.. they are a herding breed so have a lot of stamina and they are smart, but more sensitive than a border collie. They do bark. I think they think it's a sport. They make great sentinel dogs. They will not enjoy being alone for long periods, nor only let out for toilet... they need the stimulation of exercise and play and human interaction. Once exercised well and fed they will lounge around and sleep and be settled for hours at a time.

[@victoriaalexandra2747]

We have a Samoyed and are looking for a companion for him and love the rough collie breed, they seem a perfect match in personality, stamina for walks and grooming needs but our neighbour has already commented on our Samoyeds barks (he is chatty) we had thought maybe a friend would keep him occupied when we go out to stop any barking when we do need to leave but now I'm worried they may both be barking and it would really upset my neighbour 😔 urgh it hurts my heart to think we won't be able to have one join our family.

[@adamszych7440]

@@victoriaalexandra2747 Collie can be excessive barker, when he notices something outside a fence he barks. They are good guard dogs. I would recommand you to look for other, calmer breed, which can keep your Samoyed occupied and accompany him while you are working.

[@richwhilecooper]

I would say sentinel not guard. They do bark but can be trained easily to moderate unwanted barking. They are smart and sociable dogs.
