Merida,

I thought you would enjoy seeing our boy on his 2nd birthday. Who would have guessed that your little runt would turn out to be the love of our lives.

I can't tell you how grateful I am that you are a true lover of the breed and don't want your babies going to puppy mills. We really do enjoy his company and he is just so smart and loveable! He has brought a new dynamic to our family and is so very protective of our 15 year old. He has become so protective of us and in this day and age it is wonderful to know that he is at home waiting on our 15 year old to get home from school each day. He also provides her with a sense of security until we get home from work.

Many thanks to you again for providing us with the boy of our dreams. Take care and God bless you and your family is this new year.

ELFY - from the California wine country. - Oct. 2006

ELFY - May 2006

This was taken last week. We call her "Elfy". We adore her and she gets lots of love and kisses from everyone who meets her. We are so glad we got her, what a wonderful addition to our family. She loves playing in the spring grass, hoping like a bunny through it which is taller than her right now. And she loves leaping into the air to try and catch bugs. She's such a fast learner!

I'll send you more photos as she grows!

Thanks for letting us have her!

NITRO - July 3, 2006 Update:

As you can see Nitro has grown up. I think he's the smartest dog I've ever owned. He knows the difference in ball, Frisbee and football. He's learning to catch a Frisbee and can catch tennis balls really well. He responds to hand signals as well as voice commands. He knows all the family names too. What's really funny is you can tell him it's bedtime or just mention that you are going to bed and he gets up and goes to his bed. He loves to go with us to the river and anytime he can go in the car with me he's happy as a clam. If I could figure out a safe seat for him for my motorcycle he would be with me on that too! I'm so lucky to have found your website and found Nitro. I don't know if I told you but I had been looking for an aussie for almost 9 months. I looked at hundreds of puppies during that time. It was just meant to be that I got Nitro.

ALICE aka Lola - June 12, 2006

Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that Alice, born March 9, 2006 and who we renamed Lola, is doing wonderfully. As you can see from the picture she is very comfortable here in New York. She has a German Shepard sister named Pepe and they get along great. Enjoy your summer!

Sincerely,

Margaret Horemis.

Merida,

Thanks so much. As you can see, we have much happiness here in our house.

SCOOTER - October 2005

Scooter is doing just great. He's getting our other dog on "The Scooter Exercise Program." Scooter loves to play, especially with his squeaky toys. He also loves the giggly wiggly ball. He is very lovable, and loves to jump into your lap, especially when you least expect it.

Merida,

Here is a picture of Sally. She is doing great and is very loved. We are looking forward to hearing from you when Ruby has her next litter in the fall.

Merida,

Thanks for everything. Marco is the best. He is such a great addition to our family. His personality is wonderful and he fits right in. He already has a buddy in our four year old tuxedo cat. Also he brings a smile to my 80 year old mother-in-law who is suffering from a bit of dementia. Every time she sees him it's like the first time. Here's a picture, I promise there will be plenty more.

Your Friend for life,

Chris

Cutter

We just think Kyah is about the best dog there ever was; we might be a little biased, but she really has been special to us! We hope you enjoy the photo.

Hi Merida,

Everything so far is great. Truman is a joy (a rascal, but so much fun. And everyone remarks about how cute he is.) Here are a couple of new photos of him hanging out in our house..........

Here you can see how comfortable he is (he has an odd habit of sleeping on his back).

"I can't tell you how much we love this dog! She was the last to go from your June 2004 litter but she was worth the wait. We're following the October 2004 litter just for fun - but if and when we get another Aussie - it will be from you. She is the happiest dog I have ever known. She's fun, playful, very affectionate (and not hyper)."

Just wanted to send these pics and let you see what a big girl she is (and just in 4 days!). She's a great little pup and really fits into our family...we all just love her! Thanks again, Merida, for selling us this wonderful little girl.

"Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoy Zira, the Aussie pup we bought from you back in August. She's growing into a great dog. We recently finished obedience classes with her where she excelled. She's great with our kids who adore her."

SIDNEY & JOHN

"Just wanted to say hello and let you know that Sidney is doing great. She was very sad for a day or so, missing her parents & brother a lot - she tried so hard not to cry! But now she is a typical rambunctious (but very gentle) puppy chasing the kids and dog around - very curious about everything! She has done very well in her kennel and only cries for a short time at night. We are so happy with her and want to say thanks for everything. Thanks again for raising such a sweet girl!"

NITRO

"Finally got some good pictures of Nitro and wanted you to see them. I also wanted to tell you about Nitros trip to doggie day care. The groomer there went absolutely crazy when I came in the door. She told me about a hundred times how very perfect his head is shaped and what a nice size he was for his age. I told her about him being the smallest of the litter and she was shocked. I ask that they bath him before I picked him up that day and of course they had the cutest bandana on him. He really thought he was something. They told me that he was Mr. Personality too, of course we already knew that. It was great to have someone that knows dogs that could look at him and tell me how he was doing besides a vet."
