Ollie's sheepdogs

As part of our inquiry into Kiwiana culture, we have been bringing objects from home to share.
Today Ollie brought sheepdog puppies to show! They are very special to Ollie because his family's pet dog is the mother of the puppies.

Ollie's mum and his little sister brought four puppies in a carry cage for us to see, and touch! The puppies are seven weeks old and still quite small.

Border Collie's were brought to New Zealand, from England and Scotland, 150 years ago to work on farms herding sheep and cattle. They are very smart and athletic dogs.

Thank you Ollie for sharing your taonga with us!
