Hi Minda,

The puppy is doing great.  He is active and happy.  I think he already knows that he is to go outside to potty!!!  He has been eating and drinking well.  Thanks again for the food. I don't even think he notices that I have mixed his old food with the new.  The Vet check went well and we have an appointment for another check up in 3 weeks.  I've also attached a picture of him relaxing by the fire. I think he is comfortable here and me and my wife could not be happier.  Thanks for everything!

We bought the last of the litter 3 months ago.  He is now Mylo. He still has his under bite, but he is the most loving dog we have ever had.  Mylo even changed our 11 year old setter and taught him the fun of “play” with another dog.  The family loves him.  As the 11 year setter ages, I would certainly look for another miniaussie from you.

 

Kind regards<

Rosanne

Dear Minda,

Happy holidays!  My fiancee, Chris, and I wanted to send you an updated photo of Dash, who was once Jade BMM2 born in March 2009 (Sugardaddy x Jade).  We are so thankful to have him in our lives!!  Dash loves to go hiking and camping with us, is a pro at playing ball, and has become Chris' jogging buddy.  We also get stopped everywhere we go by people wanting to play with "the cutest puppy they've ever seen."  Several people have even commented that Dash is the friendliest dog they've ever met.

I also wanted to share my blog with you.  It's just starting out, but there are already many pictures of Dash growing up and stories about our past months together.  Please feel free to share it with your current and potential mini Aussie owners if you'd like.  The URL is http://dealingwithdash.blogspot.com/.  I hope to catch up with my retroactive posts in the next few days and start writing current stories soon :)

Again, thank you for helping us to find the perfect companion.  Dash, Chris and I wish you and your loved ones all the best for the new year!!

Sincerely,
Jennifer
 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Minda,

 
I thought I'd send you a quick update on Maverick (Lil Rusty x Sydney). He's almost 10 weeks old now, the first week has gone by very fast. We got him to the vet right after we picked him up and he checked out very healthy. This little guy is everything we were hoping for and more! It took our other Aussie, Mocha, about 3 days before she realized that playing with the new guy is fun, but now they are such great friends! Playdates with Cappi from another of your litters are quite amusing, especially since Cappi is still a Puppy.

 
Maverick's personality and temperament are excellent. He loves to snooze in his crate but also enjoys sleeping in with us on the couch and in bed. Every night but one he has only gotten up 2 or less times! He's very playful with Mocha and likes to chew on his bully sticks, ropes, and other toys toys. Of course, he tries to find other (more troublesome) things to chew.

 
 I have taught him to sit and started on a few more basics, and he's on his way to being house-trained. Maverick is a very kind, calm puppy - and very, very happy! . Like his adopted sister, Mocha, he is a dreamer. I'd say he's dreaming at least half the time, wiggling his toes and chasing imaginary rodents through his dreams.

 
His tail, now the length of a credit card, is adorable. Maverick waggles it all the time to let me know how much fun he's having visiting friends and family. The boy is still quite small but he has a normal appetite and eats 3 meals a day so we're not worried at all. He'll definitely be a smaller toy, which is great.

 
Toni and I just wanted to thank you for making this addition to our family possible. We love our little boy so much, and I'll continue to send you updates as he grows up. Enjoy the attached photos :)

 
We all hope you have a very Happy Holiday season!

 
-Shawn Hillyer, Toni Gray, Mocha, and Maverick

 

 

 

He's doing wonderfully! We renamed him Playboy, "Player" for short. What a fabulous little puppy. So sweet, alert and special! I attached a picture and will send more soon. Thank you so much for breeding such a quality little guy. He loves his new family!

Hi,
 
But, Zora, what a surprise ! I LOVE her solid bones. She is very stocky, though quite a bit smaller than Sky when she arrived here. And Sky has finished with 14". Her coat colour is also what I have dreamt of, very dark and rich. And no ways of being shy. She has already adopted our children and our other dogs, feels at home, eats and drinks, wags her tail a mile an hour.
She was even so friendly at the airport that an airport border vet asked me if I would consider selling her to him ! He said that he just fell in love with her... It's true, your dogs are something very special. I will send you a picture of her when she has completely settled in.
Meantime, we are more than happy to have her. I am sure that she will prove to be one of my best breeding dogs.
Lots of regards to you and your wonderful dogs,
