Owner Nat Simmons said Lollie Pup was bred by her eldest daughter Ashley, so she has watched the puppy grow since birth.

Lollie was one of seven puppies and was the only pup with a wheat and white coloured coat.

The cutest puppy winner, Lollie Pup, was described by her family as a 'playful' and 'cuddly' girl.

“They named all the pups after confectionery, hence her name, and I added pup instead of pop,” Ms Simmons said.

Ms Simmons said Lollie Pup was at the stage of chewing anything and everything she could get her paws on.

“She loves her cuddles and is a super quick learner,” she said.

The other Simmons family pet is four-year-old Shandi who is the ‘best behaved girl’ and will help train Lollie.

“We do short training most days and she already has down-pat sitting, dropping and staying.”

Lollie Pup is especially important to the Simmons family due to her being born on Ms Simmon’s late mother’s birthday.

“She means the absolute world to us,” Ms Simmons said.

Ms Simmons thanked everyone who took the time to vote for Lollie.

“We know she is the cutest though we wanted to share with everyone how beautiful all puppies are and especially border collies for their smart and funny character,” she said.

“They are such fun and have an abundance of energy.”
