2004 Winter Litter

All of our puppies are the progeny of genetically screened parents and are transferred to approved homes with ASCA and AKC Registration Application, written contract, pedigree, Health Certificate and personalized Puppy Training Tips.

Indeed...Thursday (12/30/04) was an 'afternoon delight' as Miss DeDe presented us with her six sensational bundles of joy.  She didn't miss a beat nor change her sweet demeanor, as she welcomed each puppy into this world...grinning from ear to ear.

"Shelby"

 

Shelby was a delightful birthday surprise for a darling 6 year old girl, planned by very sweet and caring parents.  Home is in our greater Kansas City area.

Her family had this to say about her..."We have received so many compliments on Shelby, she is a looker but boy oh boy she is HEAD STRONG! She is doing well and loves to play.  She is such an Aussie! Lots of energy and will do anything for a treat ;-)

Kiely is now 11 yrs and in 2006 we added Kagan! He’s 4 yrs and full of more energy than Shelby! Also, 2008 we added Ash (silver/grey) cat. So family of four + two animals! Always busy around here and never a dull moment. Shelby and Ash are best buds and enjoy each other’s company. "

Miss Shelby is shown at 12 weeks of age and wonderfully settled in with her life long family.

 

     

"Bella"

  Bella is truly the "bell of the ball" in her Illinois home, sharing life with her special fellow canine pal and wonderful humans, alike.

     

"Milo"

Milo is already a social chap, going for visits to relatives with his fabulous caregiver. He shares his home with a very understanding canine companion and also stayed in the KC area.

 

     

Mr. Bojangles

  'Mr. Bo Jangles'

Bo is having a ball exploring his new Wyoming environment with his faithful and adoring human companion.

     

"Coogan" 


Coogan & Packie - Christmas 2011
 

"Coogan" is enjoying his life of luxury with a marvelous couple, here in the greater KC area, as well.

Update Christmas 2008 - "Coogan is approaching his 4th birthday in just 10 days...can you believe it??!! Ahhh, they grow up so fast. He remains our amazing pup and just as good as gold. There's not a day that goes by that we don't count our blessings for this dear little man. Whether it's waking us up on a Saturday morning (he knows it's Saturday by the way) planting his big fuzzy paws on the edge of our bed, or burying his nose in our favorite chair wanting some cuddle time, he brings us unending joy. Although the temperatures have turned colder, we still enjoy the trolley trail walks to Brookside and around Loose Park. He loves the cold weather as he's so well insulated. With his ears back, and stride brisk, he's focused on course the entire time. He's way past being distracted by people and other dogs passing by. I may have mentioned we had our 10-day camping extravaganza to Lake City, Colorado in August and just had the very best time ever. Coogan made the drive without a hitch and seemed to love the cool mountain breezes. We drove on jeep trails, and hiked some trails into the wilderness and he was a trooper (considering he's a city pup). You would have cried laughing as we had to maneuver some logs which lay over various creek crossings. We trekked along through the icy water, some with rapids...Coogan was sure footed and fearless! We explored Ghost Towns and he was just the little adventurer. We had so much fun, of course keeping him close by in case of bears lurking about. Each night we built our campfire and sat around star gazing. He was completely at home and comfortable. When it was time to retire to our tent, he scampered inside and curled up at the head of our sleeping bags. I can't describe my feelings as I drifted off to sleep with his head on my pillow next to mine. In fact, I tear up just thinking about it. It should have been a Kodak moment, but I was too tired to get up and grab the camera...ha! Well, looks like no ski trip this winter, we're remodeling our kitchen and deck, and that's pretty much consuming all of our resources over the next few months naturally. Coogan's been great, adjusting to the activity, unfamiliar noises and disruption of construction and contractors, and the relocation of his daytime accommodations. With his calm, easy going, laid back disposition, he just goes with the flow. I'm sure he's looking forward to our project completion which should be early Spring time, when we can all sit out on our new deck and enjoy the fresh air. Most of all, I think he'll be excited to have his backyard back to run and play in. He's made a new little friend just recently, a few doors down from us. He's a little white Yorkie named Buddy. Buddy frequently visits our house, comes to the front door and barks as if to say "Can Coogan come out and play." It's the cutest thing. At that point we let Coogan out in the front yard on his leash where they frolic about, having the best time.

Best go for now, but please write back when you have a chance. Please enjoy the attached latest photo of our little man, he's so bright eyed and beautiful, and he smiles all the time! He truly makes our hearts sing!"
 


Coogan - 2008

 


Coogan - 2010

Coogan's "Mom" had this to say...We’re excited about the upcoming months as we’re planning a camping trip, maybe a couple of local ones, long weekends before we head to Colorado for an extended stay. Of course we’re taking Coogan with us to join in all the fun. As this is his first camping experience, we just know he’ll love it and do great! We just need to be careful about ticks and such.

I think I told you he’s a wonderful traveler. All we have to do now is open the hatch of the Jeep and he comes running and does a flying leap into the back to go for a ride.

 

Coogan now has a wonderful "brother", Mr. Packie from our 2010 CJ x River litter!

 Here's a lovely quote I received today in card from Coogan and Packie's parents:

"Aussies are Angels disguised in fur who remind us of love!"

 

     

"Jasper" 

 


Layla, Jasper & family

Jasper is still strutting his stuff locally and entertains his loving & energetic humans and feline buddies, daily.

Since Jasper was an "only puppy" for a year, his sun rises and sets with Colleen and I. Since Layla went from a group of puppies to a home with just one other pup, her sun rises and sets with Jasper. I think at times (especially early on) Jasper wished she would leave him alone so he could snuggle us, and Layla wished we would leave her alone so she could wrestle with Jasper! This has mellowed over time and Jasper will seek her out to play and Layla won't stay in any room for long if the people aren't in it --  and as I said before she gives her love freely (and wetly).

We thought Layla with her stronger herding guarding instinct would be the one to lay under the crib and keep tabs on Ava. Not so. We should have known better. Jasper is in love with Ava and Ava is IN LOVE with Jasper. Good luck getting her attention when he's in the room. Layla on the other hand wanted nothing to do with that NOISY THING! As Ava has grown up a bit and cries a lot less, Layla is more interested, but she leaves most of the monitoring to Jasper and he's happy to do it.
