Benefits of Crate Training

We are reaping the benefits of crate training. All puppies can be left in the crate for the night and only get them out for pee and poop in the next morning. All puppies can hold their bladder throughout the night. We are thrilled to have back our clean and nice room and puppies seems happy in their crates.

Don't buy blindly!

Anyone not buying from a reputable breeder risks being sold a dog or puppy who is not what the seller suggests. People who buy puppies from pet shops not only encourage puppy farms to breed more puppies but are more likely to purchase 'stock' dogs who can be in poor health and have underlying stress problems, not to mention a higher risk of genetic disease.

Guess who have scramble over the 3 feet whelping box?? Who has successfully scale the "Great Wall"?? It is Guinness, Passion and Jacob all done the scaling great wall thingy and start exploring my room. Isn't they amazing LOL

Puppies are early risers & late sleepers!!

Interesting lot, puppies are awake by day break and start to play with each other in the whelping box as early as 7am. What a bunch of kids??? but for us, this are bad news becos we will be awoken up by these playful puppies. They are so very late sleepers at night! ....LOL

DiamondIsle Kennels Profile

DiamondIsle Kennels
- Can one ever have enough Border Collies??
DiamondIsle Kennels was formed on September 2002. The Kennel was registered with Singapore Kennel Club on December 2002. DiamondIsle was hatch, when we started keeping Border Collies in June 2001. At that time, we bought a Male BC, named Black Diamond Maximillion., aka Max.

Max was introduced into our home in mixed feelings. One camp wanted him to be just a Pet, while the other camp wanted him to be an Obedience Dog. Very soon, we embarked into dog training and since then, there was no turning back. The word Show Dog came into our mind and eventually we bought a Female from a reputable Kennel in Australia. Marsean Mikah was her name (aka Mikah), we are very happy and indebted to these Responsible & Excellent Breeders that produced Max & Mikah for their superb structure & excellent temperament.

After being on the receiving end of such wonderful dogs, we were motivated to start a Kennel to do just that. Improving the Breed Standard, temperament & excellent lineage of Quality Border Collies. Is with such commitment, we work on both the Obedience & Conformation Rings to bring out the best of our Border Collies. For their achievements pls refer to Hall Of Fame!!

We are just few, but dedicated & committed Border Collies Breeders in Singapore. Should you have any queries, please email to diamondisle@gmail.com. We will be happy to response to you.

Coincidently we owned an Australian Shepherd too. Her name is Keesha, My Sapphire So Blue, aka Keesha. We may be interested to breed Aussies in the future.

We are also setting a good example for an urban city Singapore that is in an urbanized city we could still breed quality Border Collies for serious dog owners.

Reaping the benefits of BARF!!

With the introduction of BARF for about 3-4 days to Hershey's Puppies, we are seeing and reaping the benefits of BARF. The pees and shits of the puppies are so much less potent and smell. It makes cleaning and clearing their whelping box a breeze. I believe it will be so much benefits, if the new owners take on the BARF diet too.

Puppies in an enriching environment!

Our puppies are well brought up in an enriching environment. They have been on our Superdog puppy programme since they were neonates. This will enable them to adapt very well into any family that is committed to treat our puppies as part of their family.

Raw food Introduction!

This evening we introduced raw food to Hershey's Puppies. As per plan, they enjoyed the introduction and all puppies enjoyed every bits of the raw. New owners can choose to food that kibbles or raw food.

Positive Reinforcement Training Lesson

Here is one of our positive reinforcement training session we did with Hershey's puppies, a good training session and the puppies loved the training lol

Feeding on individual food bowl!

This morning we decided to start feeding hershey's puppies on their individual food bowls. A very good head-start for these young ones. At least we can ensure all puppies are feed equally.

Art of indication!

I was told by Debra that today Guinness indicated twice for water, she look at Debra and bring her attention and pointed where the water bowl was; on top of a side cupboard.... she is amazing ....... "Cool Guinness"

Hershey's Puppies at 8 weeks!

At 8 weeks, surprisingly my puppies learn their names and are very biddable. It will be very hard to part with this bunch.



Jacob our pretty boy is still available. Excellent toy drive and food drive, an energizer bunny. Contact us if interested.

Haven showing her Retrieving and forward momentum Skills!!! Enjoy this video.

2nd Adult Socialization Session

Puppies are growing so fast and they are able to hold their bladder longer and their attention span are getting longer and stronger. This batch of litter are so full of drive and energy. Now we need to work them out for almost 2 hours before they are willing to sleep.

We did our 2nd socialization session with our other adult girl Aunty Millie. Aunty Millie was nervous seeing these rumbustious puppies, wagging their tails off, inviting her to play. And Aunty Millie jumped on top of my shoulder to keep the puppies out of reach, this is hilarious!!! Aunty Millie are getting use of our puppies present, but it will take time to allow them to integrate seamlessly.

Anyway, Aunty Millie has mastered a NEW STUNT, jumping on my shoulder and keeping balance for a long time.

Car-Ride day for C-litter

This week, we are going to expose all our C-litter to Car-ride. Even-though they did had a car-ride when they were just 1 day old during they very first vet visit. So this session hope to ease the puppies anxiety on car-rides, so that the new owners will not face car-sickness or puppies reluctant to go for car-ride. Car-ride should be very fun.........

Adult Socialization Session

tonight we had a Grandma's Mikah and meet the individual pup session, all have shown good interaction with adult dogs...invitation to play, climb over mikah, bite her paws, bite her tail, lick mouth and ears, all in all a good quality time with Mikah.... thumb up for this socialization session..

Potty Training 101

Puppies can poop and pee on paper and grass now, this would help future owners to train their puppies easily for toilet training purposes.

Good Manners 101

Today, teached puppies to accept hand feeding of dog treats, taught sit and down and stand with food treats as lure and the puppies dig it.

Good Routine

Puppies have fallen into a good routine, lights out means sleeping time till daybreak. When we come to the box an automatic sit to get patted. Puppies seeking attention gets ignored.

Success in weaning off our puppies

Great news, we have successfully wean off our puppies from mama's milk. And now they are feeding on dry kibble for all their meals. We are on target to wean off our puppies at 6 weeks and this help them in their transition to new homes.

This might be what Haven will look like when she grows up!

These pictures are what haven will potentially look like. And these are Agility Champions.

Busy holiday for Hershey's Pups!

Today is a busy holiday for the puppies. We have friends from Malaysia and Singapore came to visit us and our puppies. This time round, the parents join in the fun. It is really interesting to see both Parents, Hershey and Benji willing to offer their beloved toys to their puppies to invite them to play, they actually pick up the toy and present it in front of the puppy, parents love is very strong. Really and "Awwww" moment there.

Hershey's litter is into their 6th weeks, Happy Birthday!

Hershey's Puppies into their 6th weeks

Yeah time fly! Hershey's Puppies are into their 6th weeks. We did our weight measurement yesterday and they are at average of 2.275 Kg, very healthy, big and chubby. All of them are running about and can be quite a handful to collect them together when you let them out all at once.

What a weekends?

What a weekends for the puppies? We have a couple of friends came over last weekends to pay us a house visit as well as a puppy visit. All C-Litter reacted well with each and every human encounters. Some of them even initiated a tug games with our puppies, but not the tug toy tug but pants, shorts, t-shirts tugs. There are so cute and have won many hearts.

Next we will introduce the puppies to the adult dogs, will update you very soon.
