Hi Minda,

Just wanted to share some recent photos of Kiley (Miss BeeBee x Sir Prize). Today is her Birthday!! I absolutely love her and she’s so smart. I recently installed an electric fence around the perimeter of my yard (about 1 acre) and she instantly picked-up on how it works. She gets along so well with my other dog (the 3^rd dog in the photo is my other dog’s sister)….they all had a play date on the 4^th of July. Tonight, we are going to “small-breed” play group hosted by a local animal shelter.

Thanks again for breeding such great pets!!

Ema- is an extremely outgoing puppy. She loves people and attention. I can't lie she IS extremely spoiled. However she was easy to train. She took an obedience class and easily picked everything up. She is now one year old, and I couldn't imagine life with out her. Everybody I come into contact with her, including her vet doesn't believe me that she is a pure breed, everybody wants her to be a Pomeranian mix/ with some kind of terrier, but I tell them about your site. I believe that somebody I recommended actually recently purchased a puppy from you. When I first got her she would never want to lay near you or be petted, I was strictly a play toy to her, however over the last couple of months she has started to come up and lay on/ with me when she is tried. She has always fallowed me around the house everywhere that I go. However if there are more than four people at my house she secludes herself to our room, and will not come out no matter how much I try and bribe her.

I have attached a few current pictures of her for you. I tried to take a few with a soda can for size but she really didn't like the can. When I put her on my scale at home, she weighs in at 7.5 pounds, and her shoulder height is 12".

Thank you for the amazing dog,

Maria Cristina Ladd

also I don't mind if you put up my myspace site if people want to ask me questions about her, or something you know..

rocky x sweet angel	Hi Minda. Just a quick note to let you know that Bill and I and "Diamond Girl", now known as Pickles O'Brixien, have made it home in one piece and are happily adjusting in California. She went to our vet on Tuesday and checked out fine and got an ID chip and is doing extremely well with outside potty training. Thanks so much for a wonderful pup who we both adore. Kathie and Bill Brix

coco puppy	Hello! This is the Hansen family. We're just emailing to let you know how much we are enjoying our new puppy. We have decided to name her Tia and she has been getting along very well with our other dog. We've also attached a picture of her on one of our camp trips. We'll try to send more pictures in the future. -Todd, Cathy and Katie

Hi Minda,

Just wanted to send a quick update on Joey. He is 6 months and ways in at a whopping 15 pounds!!! I tried to measure him, which is not easy, and I think he is about 13 - 14 inches tall. He has completed the first course of Perfect Puppy Academy where he has excelled in his training. He knows Sit, Down, Stay, Come, Leave It, Speak. And my favorite, when I tell him UP he jumps up and twirls in a circle. I can't belive how smart he is. He is very protective of me and his home. I don't think he knows he is little...

I am taking him in tomorrow to get neutered, I just need to send you the receipt and then you send me his papers right???

Let me know,

Thanks again for such a great dog!

~Leah & Joey

P.S. I attached some cute pictures of Joey, The one of him sleeping is sooo funny, I walked in to find him passed out from playing with his toys. :)

I just wanted to send you an update on Joey and say thank you thank you thank you....

He is truely the light of my life!!! It has only been three weeks, but I cannot even think of how things would be without him. He is just as you said; a very well tempered, social, loving puppy. And I can't believe how smart he is! He has adjusted very well. I took him for a vet check up the first week I got him and he was 5.8 pounds! I will be getting his 12 week shots tomorrow and I can tell he must have already put on another pound or so. He is practically house trained, I can count on one hand the amount of accidents he has had since I got him, and most were not his fault... he went to the door, I just didn't get there in time. I bring him to work with me every day, and everyone who comes in wants to meet him. I have received nothing but compliments on him, looks and personality wise. His right eye has changed almost completly to brown, it just has one spec of blue left. It's really neat, the side of his face with the dark patch has a dark brown eye, and the light side of his face with light grey markings has a crystal blue eye. He is beautiful!

Funny side note, he gets the hiccups all the time! I didn't know dogs got hiccups, but whenever he is excited, he starts hiccupping...It cracks me up!

Thank you for everything. You do a great job at breeding wonderful, loving, family dogs, and I am sooo glad that I found you! I would recommend you to anyone! In fact, I have already given a few people your webpage address, and I will not be surprised if you hear from them soon. I was a little skeptical about purchasing a puppy on the internet, especially when we were in different states and I coulden't even see him until the day he came home. But you kept me up to date with weekly pictures, and he was just as promised when I picked him up at the airport.

I am sure that I will be writing you again when it comes time to get Joey a playmate. Until then...

Thanks a bunch,

~Leah & Joey

Shes a perfect fit! gets along with our big doggies and a cat. Shes extreamly smart, super sweet and full of energy. It's been only 4 days and she knows "sit", and from what I can tell shes pretty much house trained....she only went inside 1x the last 2 days, and that was my fault for not taking her out soon enough.

Heres a couple pics of her with my big doggie, ppl keep asking if shes the "mommy".

Thanks will update you again in a few weeks

Hey ! The puppies arrived just fine...a little smelly, but fine! We've brought them home and put them right in the tub! They have had a little bath and a blow dry. They are as good as new! They are SOOOOO sweet and tiny! I just wasn't expecting them to be that little. The little girl is "High Maintenance" but precious! What a pretty little thing!!!! The little boy is really, really sweet and loving! He is definitely more calm! They are a very good pair I think! The puppies will be gorgeous!!!!!!

Anyway, we are 100% pleased and look forward to enjoying them and caring for them! Things were meant to work out the way they have. I totally can see now why you waited to ship them....even a week makes a difference.

I will be taking lots of pictures of them and will send you some as they grow and adjust. They will be posted on my website too so feel free to look them up from time to time.

Again, thank you for everything! We will take good care of them

Hi Just a note to update you on my puppy Joeyits Jan.25,2007 he is 14 weeks now and 10lbs.a sweety and loves to bite-nibble with his puppy vampire teeth. There sharper then needles. My other aussie 50lbs. @ 18 months they get along great it's alot of fun to watch when they lay on there backs and play.Thanks so much I'm real happy to have found you, its really hard to buy a dog from the internet and not seeing him in person you were so very helpful and your honest, I was so scared of getting rippedoff & the puppy being sick but not you or your dogs.

I've attached 2 photos of her with "Coby" -Maureen Caledonia's puppy that she bought from you. They had a play date together last month. Coby's ears are glued down. He is a really smart puppy and well behaved.

Hey

Just wanted to give an update on angels btf #3 aka "Lucy." She is doing great, just over 5 mo now and weights 4.8 lbs. She is about 9 1/2" tall. She has a great personality, very sociable and loving... she sometimes gets upset when she is not allowed to go greet people. She has become the builing mascot where I work. Needless to say she is super spoiled by EVERYONE! Thank you for the great dog!

Jill is visiting me from DC with "TREVOR!" He is the black tri (milk puppy) from Triscuit x Perry in the October litter.

Trevor is too cute for words, pictures don't do him justice! What a snuggly, smart, playful, adorable puppy he is!

He LOVES his new mommy, follows her everywhere, and when he plays he bounces around like a bunny rabbit.

He was quick to house break, loves to go for walks, rides everywhere in the car, and is a HUGE hit where ever he goes! He spent the weekend around a 3 month old baby, and could not have been more sweet with her. He's also great with other dogs.

I love having him here visiting, and after looking at Hughes Aussie's on line for so long, it's amazing to meet one of your precious pups in person!

Jill and I both wish we could buy more of your dogs, they are so cute and addicting, wonderful pets and excellent companions for anyone.

Thanks for your careful and responsible breeding, he is truly a sweet and lovable little pup who will have a long, happy, healthy life making everyone smile.

We'll keep in touch and send updates and pictures, but wanted you to know he is LOVING his new home.

Regards,

Jill and Karen

PS I love the new pics you posted of Perry, what a beautiful coat he has!!

black tri male - Bandit x Holly

Hi again,

Just wanted to send you this darling picture of Kiba. We love him so much! He is a year old and already mostly out of his puppy phase. Totally focused when he needs to be, totally trained, and totally fantastic. I have been a dog person all my life, but after Kiba I'll be toy aussie person for the remainder of my days.

Please, please continue to breed such wonderful dogs! One day I'll want another for sure.

Thanks for blessing our year so much by his presence in our lives.

Becky and Rob Giesa-Wilson

Hi , I just checked your site; thanks for posting Kiba's new picture!

I read the post from the Anderson's about wondering how to train their puppy to bark to go outside and potty. We had the same predicament with Kiba, he just doesn't bark much (which we really appreciate). We had to figure out a way to help our smart boy tell his not-so-smart people what he wanted. Here's what we did.

We fastened to the door knob a lanyard with a couple of regular jingle bells attached to the end hanging a couple of feet from the floor. Whenever Kiba seemed to be looking for a spot to potty we would lead him to the door and help him ring the bell. (We'd hold him up and strike the bells with his little paws. We'd say "ring the bell, Kiba" a couple of times, then let him out. He would potty and we would praise him. Soon all we had to do was lead him there and say "ring the bell, Kiba" and he would ring it himself. We would let him out, he would potty, and we would praise him. It took a day or two, no kidding, and he would ring that bell with full confidence. It's so cute to see him jump up and smack those bells so he can get out in the yard to play/potty/or whatever. We can hear it no matter where we are in the house no matter what we're doing.

He is so smart, and everyone is amazed by our dog, and envious of our training skills. Really, all the credit goes to him. He is so cool!!!

Just thought I would share our success story for you to pass on if you want.

blue merle male - Lil mikey x Patches	11/06 Hello, I just wanted to touch base with you and let you know how well Pirate is doing (2/24/06 - Patches & Lil Mikey). I absolutely adore him. He loves to give kisses and play with his roommate, Snickers. As I write this, they are both sleeping on my bed after an extended wrestling match. Pirate smiles often and loves to run at the dog park where he and Snickers are always the most popular dogs. I can't image what I would do without him!! Also, it seems his cute little prick ears have fallen slightly, so now they are both at half mast most of the time, which is absolutely heart melting! And his little nub of a tail is always wagging :) He is even starting to sleep on the bed for a portion of the night, although he does like the dogbed I got him very much . . . as soon as I brought it home, he dove into it and snuggles up to the pillow sides and just looked so happy!! Anyway, I just thought I would let you know how happy he is and how happy he has made me
	11/06 Mr Perrywinkle x Triscuit Dear , Just wanted to update you on our puppy. We are the family that owns the two Ragdolls and had her flown here back in June. She is named Addie and is a wonderful addition to our family. She currently weighs 9.1 pounds and is a prodigy of Triscuit and Mr. Perrywinkle. We appreciate you choosing a puppy befitting our needs, as we asked. Our future was in your hands and you did us well. Thank you. Training questions: any recommendations on how to make her stop whining when she can't be free roaming or barking when she is fenced and we are not? Having a little difficulty getting her to go to the door and tell us she has to go outside to bathroom, however, she does go whenever we take her there. Suggestions for her to do something to notify us she has to go?????? ie bark... Her eyes still leak, but we don't care, she is so sweet. The best thing we ever did for our daughter. Of course, everyone loves her a ton. Thanks for breeding responsibly for pet owners. I will recommend you anytime! Happy holidays. The Anderson Family
	10/06 Hi Here is Toby-Cooper at 4 mos. he is 11.4 lbs. He is from Mr. Perrywinkle and Bonnie Blue 7-05-2006 litter. He is soo smart he already sits, stays, shakes, and fetches like a pro and is such a loving playful little guy! I can not go anywhere without being stopped and asked all about him. He barely leaves my side and loves riding in the car. Thanks again for such a great pup..will send more pic's
	Sir prize x Miss bee bee 11/06 Kiley loves her Sister, Scully, but I think she really likes the cat better. Scully does not know what to make of Kiley, but enjoys playing with her. Kiley knows her name and knows how to sit (most of the time). She has that true Australian Shepard trait of walking right at your heels and follows me around every where.

Here is Gracie- Black tri from Princess x Perrywinkle

I’m finally able to let you know how well my little Gracie is doing. We love her so much. I don’t even remember what it was like without her. She is so smart and loves to play with my mom’s 65 lb standard Aussie. She thinks she’s the boss when they play even though he’s about 10 times bigger than she is. The last time I went into the vet at 12 weeks, she wasn’t even 3 lbs! I’m guessing she’s barely 5 lbs at 4 months now. She’s a bundle of energy for play time, but when I lay down on the couch she hops up and curls up right on my stomach…. She’s just so sweet. Even my fiancé can’t help but love her to death. Thank you so much for my little girl. Hope all your other puppies are finding great homes. You never know, I might have to get another down the road. J

We have attached recent pictures of Jaxx. We got him from you guys on 2/4/06 he was born Dec '05 to Lil Mikey and Angel 2. He is 13" and 10 # at 7 months. He is such a ball on energy. We have taken him camping and he is a great jogging companion. Jaxx never tires out when he is outside running but as soon as he is back in the house he is sweet and cuddlely. He has definitely added energy and joy to our home. His eyes are sparkling blue and his coat is so soft. In case other are wondering.....Jaxx was fairly easy to housetrain and never barks (unless we are playing catch in the yard and he is having to much fun to contain himself). We do lightly brush him everyday to help, but he does not shed much and is very very easy to maintain. He is such a people dog and loves kids. No nipping or biting and no aggression. He does love to give kisses though!! We take him almost everywhere we go, so he does not like staying home alone, but he does calm down a few minutes after we leave. Jaxx is training easily, listens and minds........most of the time. He is so perfect and I would recommend your puppies to anyone. Again, we can't thank you enough. WE LOVE HIM SO MUCH.

Thank you,

Chantel McGhee

8/06 Just thought that I would write you and give you an update on our puppy Oliver. He is an amazing puppy and I don't know how we got along without him. He is so smart and loves playing fetch all day. He is very protective even though he isn't the biggest dog, he always wants to protect us. We recently moved to Italy and he traveled on the plane really well. We love him so much and everyone thinks he is the cutest dog. When we get back to the states we will definently be in contact with you to get another puppy. Thank you so much!! The Lovells-Phill, Molly and Oliver

	5/06 Hi there, Thanks for the records. The pup is doing great, we call him Mad Max (most of the time just Max) he's smart as a whip and so cute. Everyone who meets him wants to take him home with them. He's a great traveler too! He's had a few minor housetraining issues, but we're new dog owners with a puppy so we're obviously not expecting perfection. All in all he's a wonderful puppy and we'll be sure to send a picture of two along with what I'm sure will be another great report once he's full size. Thanks again -The Godsiffs
	5/06 Hello!! Just wanted to write to tell you what an AMAZING dog Lilo is turning out to be! I took him camping and hiking this past weekend and he was GREAT!! While we were hiking up the mountain, he didn't even need a leash because he wouldn't leave my side. He has learned to play fetch and loved to bring me sticks on the trail! He is so wonderful. I must have gotten 100 compliments on him this weekend! Everyone thinks he is so beautiful, which he most certianly is, but not only that, his personality makes him even cuter, he is such a lover and wouldn't hurt a fly (well maybe a fly, he's a great spider catcher!) Anyways sorry to go on, but I just wanted to thank you for giving me the oppurtunity to have such a awesome dog!!! Thank you, Thank you!!! I will send pictures soon! Amanda
	5/06 Hi I wanted to give you a giant THANK YOU and short update on how Sugar Female 3 (w/dot)--we call her "Ossa"--is doing. First, thank you for all you did while we were awaiting her arrival. In particular, because we live too far away to come and see her in person, we appreciate your communicating regularly with us and letting us know how she was doing. After trying to photograph her myself, I am now completely in awe of your puppy photography skills! And the update--she's been here a little over a week and is doing just great. She and the kids are keeping each other very busy. We cannot believe how fast she can run on her little legs! She has a friendly and curious personality, and LOVES belly rubs. She really is SO cute and has quickly become a part of our family. You probably expected this, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if we get in touch with you for an additional puppy in the not too distant future. :) Here's a photo I took this morning:

Hello there,

Just dropping you anote to let you know how the puppy is doing. "Baloo" is an angel! (He got his name after the bear on the Jungle Book!) He's full of energy, but is the smartest dog. He's very obedient but he loves to play. Everyone that sees him can't get over him. I can't take him to a horse show without everyone wanting to play with him. Even the lady at the Taco Bell drive thru had a fit over him! Everyone in my family adores him. Even the vets fell in love with him!

Thanks so much for this great puppy!

Hello,

All is well. The dog arrived safely and soundly. She is adjusting VERY WELL! Not skiddish, shy, frightened at all. She is getting along with the baby and the "giant" dog. She is so small, so cute, and looks very healthy. Someday soon we'll have a name!

I just finished sending the $65.00 so it should be all set for you.

Thanks again,

I'll send you an update after a few weeks here, to let you know how she's doing.

Appreciate EVERYTHING you did. I'm so happy to have her.

Hello! Just a quick update! I got the rabies tag, thank you, now we can go to the dog park in a few more weeks!

Just want to let you know how much our little guy is loved! His name is Lilo, thanks to my daughter and her favorite movie at this time being Lilo and Stitch. He is a healthy 8 pounds and growing fast! He is the best dog I have ever met! Everyone I introduce him to is amazed how calm and friendly he is, they can't believe he's a puppy, he acts so mature! He is truly amazing and we love him so much! He goes everywhere with us, he is so good in the car.

I am already thinking that we will soon need another because we love the breed alot. I keep going back to the red bi Coco's female you have, she is beautiful! If she is there in a couple months, I would definetly want her!

Anyway thanks again for a wonderful puppy!!

Peppi x Princess
	I' Bandit x Fawn I'm sending you some photo of Bandit and Fawn's Darby. She has really grown from the original photo that you took of her at 6weeks to the playful little puppy who amused us all spring and summer, and to the beautiful girl we have now. Brad's mother is a seamstress and went a little nuts this christmas with pet outfits, but they did make for some cute photos of my Darby and her big brother Scooter! The hair on her ears refuses to cooperate with a brush, so it stands up all over her head giving her a funny appearance. And although she refuses to stand still long enough for me to get accurate measurements, she is still very small, as you can see from the photo of her sleeping on the armchair (my cats normal sleeping spot). Darby is just the most loving dog. She is friendly to everyone and is a non stop play machine. She is addicted to a small soccer ball sqeaky toy in particular. Her gray hair still has overtones of shiny silver in spots and everyone who sees her stops me to talk. Its almost impossible to get out of the local Petsmart. And everyone who knows her comments as to how smart she is. Besides the training that we have given her, and she has excelled at, she also surprises us weekly with the things she learns on her own. I am currently looking to see if we have a local agility facility of any kind for her to exercise in this spring. Not for competition, just for exercise and fun. She seems like the kind of dog who really thrives the more we teach her. Darby has been a constant source of laughter and amusement and love. Thank you very much for this precious girl!

Bandit x Princess	Hello, My husband and I purchased a female puppy last April from you for my Mom. She is a tiny black tri by Bandit I think she is out of Princess. She is about 10" tall and weighs 6.5lbs. The whole family loves her.
Peppi la pu x Tootsie - full sister to Miss Bee bee (note- we neutered Peppi because he sired prick ears)	I purchased a puppy from you in November 2003, and I wanted to write (I should have written sooner!) to say how wonderful she is. Everyone loves Abby and Abby loves everyone. She is so friendly and great with all kinds of people and kids. Everywhere I take her, people think she's the cutest dog they've ever seen and ask where I got her and what kind of dog she is. She's a favorite at the vet and the groomer. Abby is very playful and active and loves to be outside, but she has no problem curling up on your lap for a nap either. I was able to litter box train her with no problem at all, so she is the easiest dog to care for. In fact, I'm saving up to get her a playmate, and I wouldn't get anything but another toy aussie. Looking forward to dealing with you again. I'm attaching a picture for you of Abby around one year old. Thanks again. Rachel

Hi,
Over two years ago I got a puppy from you. It was from your May 31, 2000
litter. Just thought you should know she is a wonderful dog and I don't
know what I would do without her. Here are some pictures, I thought you
might enjoy them. She goes everywhere with me and is one of the best dogs I
have ever owned.
Thanks!!

Holly x Sky black tri female

As promised, I'm attaching pics of Sullivan. Sully is about 11" at the shoulder (not that he is very cooperative to being measured!). Sully's hobbies include taking the end of the toilet paper and running with it, jumping in the air and spinning 360 degrees before landing on his feet - and spinning toys around and around before launching them into the air. Sully also enjoys Sunday mornings at the dog park and sleeping on his back. He is energetic, friendly, and SHARP AS A TACK. Smartest dog I've ever met. He loves people, especially children, but dislikes small dogs. He is a graduate of Puppy Preschool and has recently been neutered. He is FULL of personality and VERY photogenic. I absolutely adore him!!

Thanks so much for bringing this dog into our life.
All the best,
Ashley McIntyre

Hi ! Just wanted to send you a few photos of Gunnar. Isn't he adorable?

We are very happy with our new addition. He has settled in quite nicely as you can see. He loves his "big brother" too.

He is so smart and so calm. I have never had a puppy like this before. Our family could not be happier.

Thanks,

Missy

PS- He was weighed Wed. and is 5.7 lbs.!!!

just wanted to give you an update on Cookie! we bought the Red Merle with blue eyes that was born on 7/5/05, she is so cute and sweet, I love her to pieces and she is quite attached to me, we took her camping and kept her in our area...she has one more shot she needs.. and she will get that next week

Thank you soo much, Cookie is so sweet, even though she is a little spitfire and does not want to sleep during the night, but she is getting there and our Beagle was so mad for 2 days at all of us when we brought her home and now she just loves her to pieces and lets cookie do whatever, she is like a mom to her, I will send some updated pictures when I can download them off the camera, she is a pretty little thing and things she is big and tough, but the only problem my handsome boy (the cat) is not happy with me at all and still not happy, but he will come around

Well, take care and thank you again, I love my new puppy and my daughter does also :)

JUST WANTED TO UPDATE YOU ON "DUSTY". HE IS SUCH A SMART PUP, THE WHOLE
FAMILY HAS FALLEN IN LOVE WITH HIM. HE IS VERY PLAYFUL AND SWEET. THANKS
AGAIN FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL PUPPY, SUZANNE

Just a quick update on Dusty(Tootsie's 9/03 litter)He weighed 8 pounds on
his 7 month birthday.I can't get him to stand still next to a tape measure
long enough to get his height exactly, but real close to 12 inches.He is a
really smart, happy pup, really good natured, but protective of his family
and home. You always know when someone comes on our property, but he quiets
down when you ask him to. Dusty plays well with my 2 children, and gets
along with the other pets. He likes to ride in the truck with us on trips.
Thanks for the wonderful little boy.
Suzanne Abbott-Mote

Yea, his ears can stand up quite high! When he is surprised as he was when the camera flashed, they stand up, but when he is relaxed you really don't notice them. When he runs, he folds them back.He has been quite a joy to
have around, such personality and really smart!
Thanks again.

Sunny x HOlly

Hi ,

I check your site often just to get an update on your new litters. (It's habit I guess from looking for a pup for so long.) Wow, you've been busy!! Hope all is well.

I just had to write to tell you how wonderful our little Kiba is. We just love him! I brought him home on Jan. 15th and it's been a love fest ever since. He is so incredibly loyal. The first month he was constantly at my heel with every movement I made. It was so cute. He has relaxed somewhat and will stay at his dog dish for a few more bites when I move a few paces away. He even hated it when I closed the shower door, but he's gotten used to it now and waits patiently for his turn. His loyalty makes him a natural on the leash; he heals like a pro.

And wow! He is so smart! It took him two tries to get the 'sit' thing down, and he's working well on 'drop it', 'wait', 'no biting' and 'leave it'. I intended to take him to puppy manners and obedience but I don’t think classes will be necessary. Except perhaps for me to bone up and for him to socialize!!

Just wanted to show you some pictures of Maverick and
how he has grown. He is truly the best dog - smartest
ever!

Thanks again - my fiance also sent you an email
earlier inquiring about another puppy from the Feb.
19th litter.

Corinne, Maverick!

THIS IS ERIN, I GOT A PUPPY FROM YOU LAST YEAR. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT HE IS DOING GREAT. HE GOES ALONG PRETTY MUCH EVERYWHERE WE GO. THERE IS A GREAT PLACE NOT FAR FROM MY HOUSE THAT WE GO HIKING AT THAT INDIE ENJOYS. HE DIDN'T SEEM TO LIKE THE SNOW TOO MUCH. I THINK IT WAS THAT HE REALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS AND DIDN'T UNDERSTAND. HE LEARNED TO LIKE IT AFTER A WHILE. WE HAD QUITE A BIT THIS PAST YEAR. HE WEIGHS 16 POUNDS NOW. MOST OF THE PEOPLE OUT HERE ARE LIKE WOW WHAT KIND OF DOG IS THAT? HOW DID YOU GET ONE SO SMALL? EVERYONE FALLS IN LOVE WITH HIM WHEN THEY MEET HIM. HIS BREED IS HARD TO FIND IN THIS AREA. JUST THOUGHT YOU WOULD LIKE AN UPDATE ON HOW HE IS DOING.

ERIN & INDIE

We absolutely love our new little puppy. He cried the whole way home, but has been so happy ever since! Our dog Sonia loves him to death and they just play, play, play all day long. He has caught on to potty training fairly quickly. There has only been one accident. That’s really cool. Aaron named him BEN. Thank you very much. We are overjoyed.

Sincerely,

Katie

Hello,

We are the people from Salem that purchased one of your puppies from the last litter. My husband stoped by and told you about the black tri female that a coyote got. We have just been sick about it. We have been looking around for another puppy, thinking we could find one sooner than the litter you have coming, but we really loved our "missy's" personality. So we would love to put in an order for the next litter for another female. We would love to come up and see them after they are born to pick one out. Can't believe how much we enjoyed her and we really miss her

just wanted to drop you a line and tell you how Scooby was doing. she is absolutely wonderful!!!! I just cant express how much I adore her!!!!! she hasnt gone to potty in the house not one time! goes to the door when she needs to go now and hasnt even had an accident at all in the house or horse trailer. she went with me this weekend to a barrel race and walked on her leash just like a pro and sat in my lap all weekend in the stands. she is truley my baby! she doesnt like anyone but me. not even Shawn. he is trying to still get her to be friends with him, but she still doesnt care for him much. if anyone comes near me she growls and barks at them. its soooo funny! Shawn said he never expected to get me such a gaurd dog, ehhe!!! she follows every move I make, he calls her my shadow. if I'm on the computer she is at my feet, if I go in the living room she stays on the couch, if I'm in the kitchen as long as she can see me she sats on teh couch, but if I get out of sight she comes in and lays at my feet. I cant even go to the bathroom w/o her, hehe!!! she sleeps in our bedroom on her own pillow in the floor next to my side of the bed.

I just wanted to let you know she is doing great and I just love her!!!! she sure does keep me company and behaves soooo well.

thank you again for shipping her to me and selling her to me.

Hey there !

I thought I’d send you a picture of our toy aussie that we bought from you back in October 2003. We named him Ben and he is 11pounds. This is a pic of him enjoying his X-Mas bone next to his sis, Sonia. Sonia is 15 pounds and surprisingly bigger than Ben…although Ben does not back down our take any gruff from her. He is very territorial and protective of the yard and fantastic with our 1 year-old daughter. We love him so much. Thanks!
