Unfortunately 2009 was also a year of sadness. I have found that it is easy to update the website when the news is good - when it is not so good - the task becomes difficult. Two of our furry family members have sadly left us for the Rainbow Bridge. Bug unexpectedly and suddenly passed on November 8th. He leaves a true legacy with many great dogs in the Aussie world. He also left a hole in my heart.
Right after Christmas my first competition dog, Ginger, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, passed after a long and full life with us. She was 13 and still believed that life revolved around tennis balls, as well it should. Whether they leave us too soon or at a time more expected - neither is 'easier'.
We miss you Ginger and Buggy Boy!

AKC, ASCA, UKC & NAMASCUSA Australian Shepherd Dogs
We are hooked on Aussies and have searched far and wide to bring together some of the best of the breed whether large or small!
Our dogs are chosen with an eye for temperament, health, substance, style, and working ability. All appropriate health clearances are completed before breeding. We strive to produce dogs that are an improvement on the generation before and that will be healthy, happy and permanently loved for all their lives. Each one of these dogs are family members and friends and each has an activity or job that they love. To be able to expand a breeding program and still give each dog the love and attention it deserves, some puppies are co-owned and live with their own family. These special dogs get to be loved twice and have VIP Farm visiting privileges!
Breeding programs need to be somewhat fluid in order to improve. Over time and with gained experience our goals have become more defined. Some difficult and exciting decisions have been made regarding the best choices for our breeding program. I hope you enjoy watching our growth and improvements.
