Our Dogs

 

 
Hi, Deadra, 
I wrote this for you for your web-site.  I hope this helps you find homes for your awesome puppies.  I tried to write it in a user-friendly manner.
I'll send pictures this weekend.

Frequently Asked Questions from a truly honest Horsecreek Aussie owner.

 

Why should I buy an Australian Shepherd?  

These dogs are very intuitive, loving and playful.  They are loyal to their families and are easily trained.  Their coats are absolutely lush and beautiful, but the shedding is minimal compared to some of the other breeds with full coats.  People will stop and ask you what kind of dog you own because they are so gorgeous.  The most important step in buying an Australian Shepherd (Aussie) is to pick a reputable breeder.

 

What is the breeder like at Horsecreek Aussies?

Deadra is the most patient, supportive, honest, kind breeder you will find.  She answered all of my questions, addressed all of my concerns and gave me the most beautiful dog.  My family and I could not be happier! 

 

Why should I buy an Australian Shepherd from Horsecreek?  

You will get the sweetest, most beautiful, sensitive, intelligent dog.  Your dog will be confident, friendly and cuddly.  Your dog will come to your home well-adjusted and content.  (My puppy even tells me when it is time to go outside to go potty!)  The only down side is having to leave your dog to go to work.

 

Why should I pay so much for a Horsecreek Aussie?  

These dogs will live up to 14 years.  Pay the price and you will have an unconditional friend for years.  I did the math.  It is truly a sound investment!  If you buy an Aussie from Horsecreek, you will be absolutely thrilled with your dog.  I know I am! 

 

What if I live a long way from Oklahoma ?  

My puppy came to me by plane in Michigan .  I was so afraid that she would be traumatized by the flight.  I was wrong.  My puppy was clean and happy.  My puppy came out of the crate ready to love her new family.  We absolutely love her right back.  Thank you so much, Deadra!

Hi Deadra,

We wanted to let you know how very happy we are with Blu and Patches, they are the best puppies and buddies!!! We just LOVE them and are so lucky to have found you. You gave us so much information , you were so honest , we were so trusting with you and feel we known you for years.  When we first came to visit you welcomed us and showed us all the dogs and puppies, the second time we got our little babies and they took the 4 hour ride very well. They are so sweet. We are very impressed with you and your beautiful dogs and see the pride you have in them.
I can't say enough good things about you.
 
Thanks,
The Buckley Family

Hi Deadra, wanted to send you a couple pictures of Kash chillin, He is now 1 year, 7 months young and still our baby.   He's become a legend in our town, everybody knows and loves him.  His mischievous ways has earned him a reputation among all my friends, He is truly something.  I have friends with older Aussies and Lab's that hang out with him, they get along pretty good but you know there are times when they get jealous and tend to get grouchy with each other.  Anyway, just wanted to drop you a line and let you know he is doing great and we love him lots, thanks again to you for raising the quality of Aussies you raise.  We'll never buy one from anybody else as long as you still have them.

Dear Deadra,

Hello!  Hope you are all fine!  'Imi'  (Horse Creek's Limited Edition) is such a great big baby, she super smart, loves and demands attention, will sit all day and be so still as long as you are just touching her anywhere, she stays right next to me, she and my male Boogie are best buds and he loves her and protects her with every being of his life. She is soooo sweet, loving, very silly and hardly ever barks.  Just took her for her check up and microchip last Friday and she weighed 50 lbs. These puppy pictures are the day we got her off the plane. 

She is soooo cute and a joy to have!

 

Sincerely

Hi Deadra! 
I meant to tell you earlier how much we love Dex!  He moved right in and made himself at home.  Everyone is absolutely thrilled with him.  It was like Nicky knew right off that he was her brother!   Our vet is so impressed with Dex and raved about his temperament, structure and beauty. Once again, we are thrilled with a Horse Creek Aussie!  Thank you for letting him come live with us!  We love him!

Deadra,

Beau is doing great.  He is still very much a puppy (a large puppy).  He is spoiled and Beau and Cowboy are best buddies.  Beau is a hit at the paw spa, which is my doggy day care at least twice a month. He is the social coordinator for the girls.  He is becoming more protective of me as he is getting older.

Hello Deadra,

What a truly beautiful, loving and extremely intelligent dog!  She herds my other dogs, one of my cats, as well as my husband and me.  My husband calls her the "Social Director" since she tries to organize all of us and wants to be in control 24 hours per day.  I started training her in a Beginning Agility class 8 weeks ago and she loves it.  The trainer has 2 Aussies who regularly compete in agility events, so it is great to work with someone who understands this breed.

All the best to you,

Susan

Deadra,

I was thinking of you today and thought I would share some of the latest pictures that we have taken of who we believe to be the most gorgeous aussie on the planet. Of course we are a little bit bias.
 She has done leaps and bounds since we last spoke. She is doing SOOO well working with the pasture cattle, flushing them out of the woods, sorting, and holding ground at open gateways , but what she does the best is work in the show barn when we are leading to and from the wash rack and getting them to come out of their pens. She is wonderful because she is seen and not heard. She never barks and gets too rough and that is exactly how we want her to be. She also attends every High School Baseball game of Dillon's ...   they have deemed her the team mascot even though we are already the Leopards. She is loved by so many others besides us that she has no idea just exactly how much she is loved. 
I hope to get a few working pictures sometime soon. I am very much hands on with her right now so it makes it a little tough to get a good picture for you. Hope all is well with you and your family and I will talk to you soon.

Took a few pics today of Tori
and the boys out in the snow
and thought I would
share them and a few others...
She is more beautiful now
than she was when we picked her up.
Her color gets deeper and richer
with every passing day .
She is absolutely gorgeous.

Hi Deadra,
Hope you and your family have a Marry Christmas and Happy New Year, I have a coworker over here in Africa who is from Oklahoma and said yall
are having a White Christmas, bet that is nice and pretty. Kash is doing well, 1 year old and kinda like a kid in the terrible 2's, He is truly something, but well loved.  Don't have to worry about anyone coming in the yard, he is protective, I think the power company meter reader just guesses at our reading for the electric bill, HaHa!!!  Take care and be safe during the holidays

Deadra,

Just wanted to thank you sooo much for "Miss Tori" we LOVE HER  more than she will ever know. Thank you for your years of dedication to your aussies it is remarkable!! You can see it in her health, behavior, and confirmation. She is truly one of a kind from her color ...to her personality... and her cattle instincts. I could not of ask for a more perfect fit. She makes me hop out of bed and take on the day with more energy. I appreciate all the time and advice you gave me while I was waiting to pick the right pup. There is no other place to get an Aussie than from HorseCreek !!

 

Thanks again    Amie  ( and Tori )

I thought you might like to see how gorgeous Dexter and Sophie are. She actually outweighs him – by 6 pounds! I think he’s still got some growing to do. They’re doing great and are soooo smart. They chase each other around the backyard and have a great time. Dexter is really fast – he would probably have done great running cattle! – Ellen

Hi Deadra,

Blu was been a real blessing to the Rey family. Thank you so much for your patience and dedication to these beautiful dogs. We are enjoying our baby boy so much. He doesn't love the weather in Miami but he is getting used to it little by little.  He is full of energy and loves to play with his brothers Brownie and Duke. His herding instincts are coming out and he plays hiding go seek like a kid. He's amazing and so smart. Thank you for this wonderful dog!!!

Thanks again,
The Rey Family

Hi Deadra,

Dexter is a bundle of energy and loves playing with his toys and going for walks and, of course, wagging his whole rear end. Sophie is much more laid back and loves everybody but isn’t as quick to wag her tail. Only a few people get that response. Dexter is a total watchdog – sometimes we wonder if he ever really sleeps!   Life around our house can get pretty wild!  -- Ellen

Deadra,

Bogger is amazing and has been such a welcome addition to the family!

He is a Kool and Bailey pup- which explains his amazingly chill disposition I think. You should see him with the little kids- it's unbelievable how much he enjoys playing with them. But the cool part is that when someone new or questionable comes to the fence gate  he barks and growls like he's the meanest dog in town (which I love).


We use a holistic vet and make our own dog food as well as use an all natural flea and tick repellent (that works!) I would be happy to post something on my blog that you might like to link to for other dog lovers looking for healthy alternatives!

PS- I tell everyone about you and would never let anyone that is interested in an Aussie go anywhere else ;-)

Hi Deadra

My baby girl is all grown up! They go every where together and at the end of August I get to take them on the ranch in Colorado that will be their home some day. She has a great temperament and just can't get enough loving. Thank you for making it possible for us to have her in our lives!

Hey, Deadra!  
Solo is doing FANTASTIC!  He is the pinnacle of excellence as some have stated.  He has a great, friendly personality and is always there at your side from the moment you wake up to the time you go to bed.  He loves to chase and be chased when he's at the dog park, and we recently moved to a new house about a month and 1/2 ago, so he has a huge backyard and two buddy neighbor dogs to play with as well.  About four friends of mine and I went our lake house on the 4th, and Solo came along with us on the car ride and trip.  He was perfect, and everyone was raving about how intelligent, calm, and beautiful he is (one of the friends has two aussies himself, his dogs are actually the reason I looked into aussies.. and even he said that Solo is a great boy, beautiful, and very healthy looking).  I cannot thank you enough for providing such a wonderful breed, and letting me invite a integral member into the family.  He's like the brother I never had!

Thank you, Deadra, for being so professional, patient and helpful.  My puppy is outstanding.  Her health and condition are excellent.  The pride you take in “Horse Creek Aussies” is deeply appreciated.  You are honest and want to do the very best by your customers. I’m glad and very lucky to have found such a reputable breeder.  I highly recommend you to anyone looking for a quality Australian Shepherd.  If I decide to buy another Aussie, it will definitely be from you. 

Thank you again,

Deadra,
We made it back to Houston without incident.  We had had no name picked out for her and had not thought of any as we wanted John to name her himself.  We hadn't left your house for ten minutes and John said "I'm going to name her Mia.  It just seems to fit her."  So Mia it is...actually I looked the meaning of her name up when we got home.  In Hebrew it means "child" and in Latin and Scandinavian it means "my" or "mine."  So it fits her perfectly.  She was a real lamb all the way home.  You were right, she let us know when she had to go to the bathroom, a little restless, etc.  We stopped right away every time and she had no accidents on the way home.  She is VERY smart.  The sweetest natured little lamb.  She has fit right in with the other dogs and holds her own.  One tried to snoozle in on her bone and she jumped up and barked right in her face.  We all got such a kick out of it, no one would have ever thought she had it in her.  Needless to say that hasn't happened since.  We all love her so much I just couldn't imagine our lives without her now.  She has her own little collar with her name tag and phone number on it already.  She sleeps with John every night and just loves being outside with us when we sit on our porch every evening.   Thank you so much for everything.   
Take care, Stephanie

Hi Deadra
 
We wanted to thank you so much for bringing Lucy into our lives. She is a beautiful puppy with a great personality. My son is so happy, he takes great care of her. We had such agreat experience with you as a breeder that we are going to get a second puppy from you and highly recommend you as a breeder to anyone out there searching for an Aussie because they need to look no further. Your web site also is so easy to navigate through and is very informative. We cannot thank you enough for answering all our questions and your expertise. We will be in touch, your the best!

Hi, Deadra,

 
I just had to touch base with you to let you know that our Riley is doing so well!  I just love her to pieces!  My husband and kids do too.  She is so friendly, outgoing, smart, funny and loving.  I cannot tell you how happy we are with our awesome Aussie!  Would you like more updated pictures of her?  She is getting even more beautiful by the day.  Her coat is so lush and full.
 
I keep looking at your website to see what new puppies you have.  You have some beautiful puppies right now, as always. :)
 
Please feel free to have anyone contact me for questions about your pups.  I am so happy and excited about my new addition that I am more than willing to be a reference for you. Feel free to give them my e-mail address, since this is the best way to reach me.  If they would like to talk with me, have them contact me by e-mail and I'll get back to them.
 
Sincerely,
Lisa

Hi Deadra,

It's been about seven weeks or so since we first picked up Jax and Izzy, (probably the best aussies in the world). We want to thank you so much for all your help and guidance in picking out our puppies and making sure there plane ride to Florida was a safe and happy trip. They have been a wonderful addition to our family. Horse Creek Aussies is as good as it gets when comes to serving up some special and beautiful puppies. They potty trained very quickly and were quick to learn all the easy commands like sit, stay, down, still working on the come command except at feedin time! Two of them is quite the chore but wouldn't trade them for anything!! They entertain them selves and us! We have been bragg'in on you to all who asks were we got them.  Took them to Virginia for a couple of weeks, they loved it in the mountains. Again thanks for being as good as you are and hope you enjoy the pics.
 
Your friends,
Bob, Michele, Izzy, & Jax

Hi Deadra,
I wanted to write you to give you an update and send some pictures of Bailey and Kool's pup, Kash (BK BTM).  Debbie and I are enjoying Kash so much and he has become a special part of our family.  I must say he is sooo smart and has lots of character.   Kash has already learned to fetch, sit, shake hands, lay down and rollover, so he has been very easy to train.  At 12 weeks old he weighed 22 lbs, he is a growing boy and fast.  We are so thankful that we chose to purchase a pup from you at "Horse Creek Aussies".  We hope to purchase a female
sometimes in the future (after Kash has matured a bit more), but this time we won't have to search the internet for days trying to make up our minds, we will just contact you, Ha Ha.  
Thank you for the time and dedication you put into assuring the safe arrival of Kash to us.  We will stay in touch with you and send pictures as he continues to grow.  Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Hi Deadra! 

Trudy continues to grow like a weed!  I can't believe how big she has gotten!  She's probably at least 3 times the size she was when we picked her up a month ago.  I can hardly pick her up anymore!  She is doing great, though!  She knows how to sit and stay and she will wait for her treats.  We're still working on come - sometimes she's great and then other times she's way too distracted to pay attention (like when she's antagonizing the poor cat!).  She has the sweetest disposition I've seen - she gets so excited to see me when I come home from work or riding my horse.  She runs up to me and leaps into my lap, licks me all over my face until I'm nice and clean, and gives me several what I call "roos" (roo-roo-roo!).  I love it!  
 
She's adjusting so well and is so easy going and laid back.  You guys did an excellent job of socializing her to get ready for her new home!
 
Trudy is such a blessing and has filled our home with so much joy, happiness, and constant entertainment!  Thank you so much for helping us to select such a great puppy and for doing such a great job of breeding and raising her.  I'll keep you updated as she continues to grow!  Hope you guys are doing well!

Deadra, 

Here is a picture of Riley.  She is such an amazing dog!  Riley is very loving, playful and intelligent.  She is very outgoing too.  Riley has made friends with my family, the neighbors, the vet office and even a news crew.  Everyone comments on how beautiful she is.  People will stop their cars to say hello to our Aussie
 
Thank you so much for the perfect Aussie!  We would love to have more, but we just do not have the room.  We will highly recommend your Aussies to anyone interested in having a quality pet. 
 
We appreciate your interest in watching Riley grow.  We know you are a special breeder because you care so much about your puppies and your dogs.  Your hand-raising definitely shows in our little Aussie, Riley!  We look forward to sharing how Riley grows.
Sincerely,
The Jepson Family

Hey Deadra ,
Wanted
to let you know that Athena is doing great and continues to be a wonderful girl. I can not believe how well she rides in the truck she just rides around like she was born to take trips. The other day she was out in the field and about wore me out running after leaves that were blowing about . She has a lot of energy!. We took her to our vet when she came to us and the vet could not believe how well Athenas shots and paperwork were kept in order she was very impressed. It made me even more proud to know that the vet knew I had bought Athena from someone who really cares about their puppies. I don't think anyone has not just loved Athena when they meet her. Thank you for raising such great puppies they are awesome!!!
 
Thank You !

Hello Deadra, 
Jenna is doing great!  She has become great friends with our other dogs and enjoys playing fetch. She is learning so quickly and amazes me everyday. Her left eye is almost completely brown now and continues to grow more beautiful all the time. At bedtime the other night she brought me to tears. I picked her up to give her, her bedtime hugs and kisses and she rubbed her face on mine and then rested her head on my shoulder and snuggled in my arms as if to say I love you back! Moments like this are one of the many reasons why aussies are the best!  Thank you for giving my family such a wonderful pup. She is getting spoiled by all and continues to captivate us. I will be sending hard copy photos soon ! 
Thank you Wendy Jessee and family

Hi Deadra,

We can not say enough wonderful things about our experiences with you.
We felt immediately comfortable with Horse Creek Aussies (after
interviewing several breeders) and  have been so pleased with all  of
your assistance and follow up-thank you!  Bogger was a "sweet 16 gift"
for our son Codie and they are the best of friends!  Although we
expected a nice disposition from this breed, Bogger is astounding. He
loves to play in the yard with our younger boys but is also just as
happy to chill out and snuggle.  Thank you again for everything and
this amazing new addition to our family- We will be staying in touch.

Three Kool Pups

February 11, 2009

Deadra, 
Max made it to Texas and is having a great time.  He and Penny have truly bonded.  She goes from running him all over the backyard to mothering him.  We have a hawk that spends his time flying around the creek that goes through the back of our property.  Yesterday, both dogs were out in the yard playing, and Penny stopped dead in her tracks and looked straight up.  She had caught sight of the hawk flying around, and she immediately took off and stretched herself on top of Max and stayed there until she was sure the hawk was gone!  What a smart, sweet girl – she would have made a great mom!  If she could speak, she would say thanks for letting Max come live with her.  They are going to be fast friends (as well as half-siblings).

Hey Deadra,

 
Trudy continues to grow and is so much fun!  I can't believe how big she is getting.  I want to hold her and enjoy these short few months where I can actually pick her up and snuggle, but she wants nothing to do with that.  She wants down so that she can play with Major and terrorize the cat.  She's super smart - she already knows how to sit and will wait for a treat as opposed to mauling you.  The house training is going well - as long as we keep an eye on her, she'll let us know when she needs to go out - she went 5 days without an accident.  But, she had 3 yesterday while my dad was supposedly "watching" her.  She's adjusting very well to her crate - she's slept through the night the past 3 nights.  Woohoo!
 
She is such a great puppy - very affectionate and playful.  We love having her!  Thank you again so much for giving us this opportunity.  I took some pics a couple of nights ago, so as soon as I download those I will send them to you.  Hope you guys are doing ok!

Hello from Alaska!!!

    Hey Deadra, Just wanted to thank you and Jeff again for being so good to me and my dad while we were on our adventure!! You guys are awesome. Maverick has mastered the stairs after 3 days of being in her new home. She gets along great with all the other dogs and cats. When ever Mav and Dakota are playing and they get a little to rough Maddie takes it upon herself to sit on whoever is being rougher haha. She is the sweetest little pup ever! The whole family is very very happy we got her. I take her on walks down to the the harbor and we walk along the docks, she loves it and is very curious about the ocean... I tell her all the time its a little to cold for swimming. We cant get her to come inside, she loves being outside and playing in the snow with her buddies! Well hope you enjoy the pictures. Tell everyone we say hello!! We are getting a package ready to send down to ya here in a few days. Take care and THANK YOU sooo much for our two WONDERFUL LOVING and SMART BEAUTIFUL GIRLS!!!!!

Deadra,
We thought you might like to see some of the latest pictures of our Penny now that she is a year old.  I have to say, she is quite stunning with her intense colors and gorgeous coat.  People do stop us to tell us what a beautiful dog she is, and she is always very happy to greet new friends, whether they are people or other dogs.  Last week, we took her to a restaurant that allows dogs on their patio, and she held her own with 3 Burmese mountain dogs!  (They were all males and, I think, quite smitten with her.)  We have been singing the praises of Horse Creek Aussies to everyone who asks where we got her, and we can’t thank you enough for sending her to us.  We have had many dogs but never one as smart and much fun as Penny.  She brings us so much joy and keeps us busy!  We can’t imagine what we did before we had her!

So....OMG she's beautiful and so well taken care of.  I'm very happy I found her through you.

Her little personality is coming out.  This morning she was running around the house with a stuff animal...to cute...the size of her!
Then I gave her a wash cloth  and shook it like crazy. Her quietness is disappearing!  She has a 20 month aussie  brother/babysitter.
And my daughter is able to take to work.
We are very Happy with her and I can tell already she is going to be natural smart as she should be, being an Aussie.
As she grows I will send pictures.
 Once again Thank You for pulling it together and gettin her out to us the same day. 
Her flight was 45 minutes early, which was nice.
Thank You

Hello Deadra,
I wanted to thank you again for Jenna. She is a wonderful pup and has all ready learned to sit , lay down and getting better at fetching her duck. She has quickly stolen all our hearts and has become great friends with our two other Aussies Rebel and Dixie . My husband has nicknamed her Purdy cause she is sooo pretty. When I look at her face she is looking more like her father Blu .
We often find ourselves just staring at her . Thank you  and I have and will continue to recommend Horsecreek Aussies to anyone wanting an intelligent, loving and beautiful puppy. I will send pictures soon!

Deadra,
 I am sending some pictures of Nick that I took yesterday. He is exactly what we were hoping for, just beautiful.  His personality is great. He's very loving, not a big barker and easy to train. As you can see, he is growing like a weed. I really don't think I could have gotten a better addition anywhere. Thank you so much for helping with my choice and making the whole thing so easy.  
Love and prayers, Jen & Josh

Deadra,

Jake is doing awesome!  He is smart, fun, and and a great pet.  He jogs along side my bike everyday and his favorite game is playing hide and seek with our son.  He loves his big bro and takes every opportunity to sit on things, steps, pets, anything!  We couldn't have asked for anything more in a family pet.  Hope all is well with you and your pups.

P.S.  Jake loves his Gator collar! 

Merry Christmas to all at Horse Creek Aussies!
God Bless you all!

Deadra,
I cannot tell you how much our whole family (even my non- animal liking husband) is LOVING Abu!!!!   When I lost my Aussy of 16 1/2 years I did not think I could ever find one even close.  I searched EVERYWHERE and every web site, breeder etc.  Abu is not my beloved Ruffian, but as close as they get!  She is SOOO smart, already fully create trained and knows how to sit at 9 weeks!  She loves my 3 yr old son and has a home for a LONG happy life! 
Thank you,

Hey Deadra, 

Our puppies are sooooo sweet.    They've already been in intensive training and are getting ready to meet a new addition to our family some time in Jan/Feb.  I'm about 7 1/2 mo.'s pregnant.  Funny thing is, my husband and I were trying for years and I finally just gave up.  We got two pups and 2 months later got pregnant.  It's all good.  We absolutely love our dogs.  They are our miracles along with the new baby coming soon.  I am so grateful for them and all the unconditional love they give. 
Thanks for breeding such wonderful dogs!!!!

Hi Deadra, 
I have been thinking of you. Occasionally I will get on your web site and look at your puppies.  I would love one that looks like River's dad.  But I don't need another animal to take care of. Every time I look at your web site I fall in love with a puppy. Well River is a real sweet heart.  She is doing really well after her near death experience with Chinese dog food.  She has turned out to be a beautiful dog.   She survived hurricane Ike. 
She is extremely spoiled and pampered. She follows me around and play fights with William. My husband plays ball every night in the backyard with her. If he isn't fast enough she gets the ball and brings it to the back door. Today we went down to the agility course and played there.  We didn't start agility  this fall with school and then the hurricane. So we are looking at starting it back up.  She loves all the equipment and is really fast.  
My daughter says I spoil the dog more then the kids.  Often told I love the dog more then my kids. She gets a lot of stuffed animals from Kohls.
Will send a picture soon.

Hey Deadra,
I wanted to drop you a note and tell you how happy we are with Lyra. She is such a beautiful dog. I couldn't have asked for a better pup! We love our Little girl! She has made herself right at home not a peep all night! What a good girl! I love the puppy breath! Our other dog Luna wants to play with her something awful. She's so beautiful and has such a sweet personality. 
Thanks for making this such a positive experience...My wife and I really appreciate everything! We would recommend you to anyone looking for an outstanding Aussie!

Penny, our little Kool/Jazz girl, is continuing to grow and amaze us with just how smart she is.  According to her veterinarian, she is a very smart and extremely healthy dog.  She caught and retrieved the first Frisbee thrown her way and would play until exhausted if we would let her.  And we have never had a sweeter dog.  She always seems to be tuned into our feelings and knows just how to make us smile or laugh out loud by “talking” to us in that Aussie-speak.  (She obviously knows exactly what she is saying!)  Penny loves to visit our grandsons, Harrison & Porter, and of course, tries to herd them at every opportunity.  (Here is a picture of her with them.)  You have amazing dogs, Deadra; I wish we had room for a whole herd of them!

Dear Deadra,

 

We just wanted to drop you a note to say how great Jake Is doing.  He has already learned how to sit, lay down and give you his paw.  He has also mastered the doggie door and can go out back by himself.  He likes the pool and has a ton of energy.  He's growing fast and looking taller every day.  We love Jake and wanted to thank you again.

Hi, Deadra:
 
Just had to drop you a line after going on your website.  Your dogs are magnificent!!!  I enjoyed the visit.  I have a blue-merle aussie, named "Cayenne" and I can say that she is just an amazing, smart, beautiful, loving dog.  I just adore her.  Keep up the good work.  I read some of your families' testimonials & they certainly have great things to say about your pups.
 
From one Aussie lover to another!!

I just wanted to say thank you very much for selling us this puppy.  She's the sweetest puppy and just loves all the attention she's getting. Everything went just fine as far as picking her up at the airport and she was just like you described her as being. We've only had her a few days so far, but I think she's learning a little bit on being housebroken already. She seems to know that each time she goes out what she has to do first. At around 9:00 at night she will fall asleep on the floor right by us on the couch. Last night she slept the whole night and just seems to be very smart about different things. Thank you again, you made her trip here very easy. Here's a picture of her the 1st night home with us. 
Thanks,
Debby

Hey Deadra:

Sophie is a Gorgeous dog.  People make comments about both the Aussies, but her coloring and eyes stop people in their tracks. She is a funny dog...Loving, smart, a bit silly and a tad stubborn...typical of female dogs. 
My family adores her. Aussies are fabulous dogs for the right people.  They take commitment, but yield loads of rewards.
 
Hope all is well with you.

Hey, Deadra, things are great.  We love Bubba like a child.   He is so honery....loves to chase deer and play frisbee, ride in the mule, bubble baths, and always happiest when playing with his buddies.
 
Thanks for bringing him to us!

Deadra,
This is just to let you know how much we love our new puppy, Bubba.  He has brought so much laughter and love into our empty nest here at Moss Lake.  We want to thank you for being so very easy to work with and for providing us this new bundle of joy.  

Thanks again for everything.

Deadra!

Just wanted to drop you a note and tell you how much we love Nicky...aka Prada!  She is a very happy girl and very energetic!  Since there is not much to herd in Plano... she is keeping herself busy by herding our other dog and our cat!  She also loves to play fetch.  Nick loves hanging out with the kids in the back when they are swimming... she has even taken a dip or two herself!  But as I am typing this to you, she is being her loving self, sleeping, wrapped around my feet!

Thank you so much for everything!  We absolutely love and adore our sweet, loving, happy and beautiful girl!  We would recommend you to anyone looking for an outstanding Aussie!

Hey Deadra,
Thank you so much for such a wonderful dog! He's a great fit for our family,
our other dogs and cats love him.  It's so great to meet a breeder who has such high standards. Ozzie been here almost 3 weeks and he's potty trained, knows the word NO! (LOL) and sits on command. He's very social and loves everyone in the family. We have a baby pool set-up in the back yard which he loves. His favorite thing to do is
stick his head under water and blow bubbles as he walking in the pool.  Anyone out there thinking of buying a puppy or dog needs to talk to you Deadra. My Vet has 4 Aussies and thinks he's really beautiful and has a great personality due to your dogs and the way you socialize them.   Thanks again for everything. When were ready for another puppy we will definitely buy from you.
All our love,
Steve, Debbie, Michael and Krissy Alegria

Dear Deadra, 
The girls are 3 months old today, and they are healthy and thriving.  They have been socialized with lots of people and other dogs and are friendly with everyone.  They are inseparable - whether they are playing, fighting, or sleeping.  It's a challenge to keep up with them.  There's never a dull moment.  Blaze has lit up my life, and Bandit has stolen my heart.  You did a wonderful job, and we're lucky to have them. 
Thank you, 
Jovanna

Deadra, 
I could not have asked for a better bred dog.  We got exactly what we were looking for, an agility prospect.  This girl is very smart and willing to learn and fast to boot. 

Thanks to a wonderful breeder who has done her homework!  Keep up the good work.

Hello Deadra,
Our puppy, Landon is doing fantastic although he is really spoiled. He loves his new home and has found a buddy in our other dog, a border collie. Although I was a little leery buying a puppy online without the benefit of actually seeing it, other than pictures, I can honestly say that he has exceeded all of our expectations. He was even cuter than his online pictures.  Landon is a quick learner also and he was potty trained in about three weeks. We would recommend you to anyone looking for a puppy!

Thanks for checking in!

Hello!
My name is Rachel Hogue. My boyfriend Jon Jones bought Captain Solo several months ago and I wanted to send you some pictures of him. What a cool dog! He's growing into a very handsome boy. He's full of energy and definitely mischievous, but sweet as can be. He can speak, sit, shake, and lay down, and he also knows to sit and wait patiently at the door before going outside. He also walks very well on a leash.
Solo comes to my house almost daily so he can run and play in my backyard with my greyhounds. He quickly figured out exactly how they like to play! He can't outrun them, but he can corner much faster than they can and he uses it to his advantage. He'll woof at them in the yard, play bow, and turn and run to hide under the bush. The greyhounds will chase after him, and when they get bored and walk away, Solo will run out of the bush, woof at them again, run around the yard and back to the bush. They all have such a great time playing together! Just thought I'd give you an update. :)
Take care, and enjoy the pictures!  
Rachel

Hey Deadra,
The puppies are awesome.  They slept most of the way home and played at every pit stop.  My parents, sister etc., the whole family is in love with them.  We've taken lots of pictures so I will be sending you some soon.  I wanted to get a variety for you.  Anyway, they're doing fine.  Leo, the boy, is the instigator but Lily is the boss, sort of.  They crack me up.  both are very friendly to all the people they've met.  They have wonderful dispositions and mind me very well.  Lily catches on to the whole potty training thing a little quicker than Leo. I guess all females develop faster than males.  Anyway, we are soooo happy with them. Thank you again for all your help. 
By the way, their first vet visit was great!!!  We go back late next week for more shots.
I'll try to send you pictures tomorrow.
Thanks again, Amy

Deadra, 
   Penny is such a joy!  She is the perfect dog, and everyone wants to know where we got such an adorable puppy.  We can't say enough about how much we enjoyed working with you . . . and how much I appreciate that you always had time to answer my many questions.  We haven't had a puppy in 20 years, and we had forgotten so much -- like, how fast puppies grow! 
   She loves to be outside with us, and she is already retrieving a tennis ball.  Penny also went on her first camping trip and proved to be a real trooper.  She went to Austin and met our son Michael and then chose the table in our camper as her napping spot.   
 

   May the Lord bless you and keep you -- and all your pups!  And by the way, Hook 'em Horns!

Dear Deadra & Jeff
We love our girl!  She has made herself right at home.  Last night, Rick just couldn't quite bring himself to put her in the crate all night, so he put her up on the bed, and she went right down to the end of the bed, curled up and went to sleep.  Twice during the night, she woke Rick up by panting in his ear.  And after he took her out, she came right back and went to sleep again.  Not a peep all night!  What a good girl!  I've attached a picture of her with her chew toy and blanket.  She was so exhausted that she just fell asleep right on the spot.  (Yesterday was a very big day for her.)   
Thank you so much for choosing us to raise Penny.  We will continue to send you pictures.  It was great meeting you both, and we will not hesitate to recommend you to everyone who wants to know where we got this adorable puppy.

Hello Lady!!!

 
Just wanted to drop a note and say "hello" and to make sure I tell you that I LOVE my dogs!!! AND so does everyone at the dog park!!!  If you want to check it out, go to http://www.ossiningdogpark.com
 
The vet visit went well. They totally got A+'s. She was so impressed with Mav. He's so mellow, he just sat there and let her check his teeth, ears, stomach, everything and let her give him shots and the worming medication. Maia, on the other hand, was a little more fidgety, but she sat through it pretty well too. There was nothing wrong with them...Two perfectly healthy pups...No worms, no nothing...
 
Deadra, they are soooo smart. They sit on command and Mav's already learned to shake hands (give me his paw)....Unbelievable... They are so easy to work with...
 
Did I tell you I LOVE my dogs!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
I'll be in touch. Until then, stay well!

Here's our Cowboy all grown up.  He is an absolute joy, such a loving boy.  He loves to please, and has been a wonderful companion to my husband who had open heart surgery in November.  Cowboy seemed to know that something was wrong, and wanted to be close to Jeff.  He is beautiful inside and out.  Thank you so much for such a wonderful addition to our family.

Friday, January 4, 2008

Hi Deadra,

  I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know what a wonderful dog Stryker is. Tori (Victoria) is doing so well taking care of him and he is so attentive to her every move...it is so cute. He whines a bit when she walks out of the room. I get the opportunity from time to time to "puppy sit" and what a thrill that is for me. As soon as I'm through with school and get settled in my new job, you can be assured that I'm making another trip to the Horse Creek Ranch to pick up an addition to my family. What a wonderful job you have done with your breeding tactics. It was such a pleasure meeting you and your husband. I look forward in seeing you again...very soon!

Stryker is doing so good Deadra!  I couldn't have asked for a better pup!
He is so smart and eager to learn everyday. There is never a dull moment with him!! Everywhere I go he has to come along... I get so many compliments on how handsome he is!  I will definitely be get another one from you!

Thank you so much for such a wonderful pup!!
I'll keep you updated on his progress ;)

I did look at your Annie.  I showed her to my husband and the kids too.  She's a red-headed beauty!  If she's anything like Shiloh, I wouldn't be able to part with her.  Shy-shy has one of the neatest Aussie personalities I've ever had on the place and I just adore her.  If she's any indication of what you get out of your stud dog "Kool,"  I'd have trouble parting with any of his babies.  She's a talker!  She does that growl talk that only Aussies can do and I love it!  It just cracks me up.  She's smaller than my other dogs, but she's bodied out and has a beautiful coat.  Her conformation is very square for her size, and she has a very authoritative attitude.  When she barks or growls at something, she sounds bigger than any dog on the place.  She may be small, but she is mighty!!!  She's my total cowgirl!  My Bud is the monster dog on the place (Silk's daddy) and he's huge, but when he and Shiloh are next to each other, she doesn't look small.  I'll have to photograph them side by side so you can see how good they look.  All I can say is you have awesome pups!!!

Hey Deadra,

 
Just wanted to let you know that in the week that I’ve had Maia and Maverick, the incredible joy and happiness they’ve brought me. The way they bring the laughter out in me while playing and romping with my other aussie, Marley, the way they’ve grown attached to us, the way we’ve grown attached to them, the way they express their individual spirits, their energy, their unconditional love…just the way they look at me after they wake up from a nap…the way they waddle as they’re running and playing outside in the piles of snow…
 
How to describe a Horsecreek Aussie pup? Their physical beauty is clearly apparent. With simply checking out your web site, it’s instantly visible. but now that I have them with me and can hold and touch them, they're physical attributes are overwhelming. They are exquisite in their coloring, the luxuriousness of their coats, their markings, the rich intelligence in their eyes, the strength, pride, dignity and grace they possess as demonstrated in the statuesque manner in which they stand or hold/tilt their heads when spoken to, and, of course, how quick witted they are.  Made me realize that your web site was just the appetizer and I’m privileged to personally witness the intense beauty your dogs possess. They've amazed me every day I’ve had them. They have strong herding instincts, have already learned their names and come right away when I call them. They clearly have their own little personalities. Maverick, in all his beauty and glory is so laid back, anything goes - unless his little sister or Marley start to really push his buttons, then he shows me that he can definitely hold his own. He has also already learned to sit for treats and is such a ham, he actually poses for photos!! He loves it when I pick him up and I love it when he gently snuggles with me…cold little nose in the crook of my neck while giving me kisses.  Maia doesn’t realize her size and loves to stir up trouble with the cat and the big dogs. While a tiny little thing, she’s so independent and determined, with a strong bark and true sense of self. She’s as sharp as a whistle and learns really quickly. I was at my brother’s over the holidays and he has these bushes that border a portion the property. Little Maia very easily zig-zagged right to left around them, which gives a clear indication that she’ll do extremely well in agility. She’s already got that part down.
 
In short, I’ve been looking at your dogs for about 2-3 years and now that I have these two, everything I thought about them has been solidified. What amazing creatures they are and how fortunate am I to have them in my life. It all makes me realize that if anyone is looking for true beauty in this world, they need only to look at your dogs. They truly are one of this earth’s gorgeous and marvelous creatures. Lovely, wonderful animals. I know I have true companions and loyal friends for life - - not just with the dogs, but you too! - - And I have you to thank for that.
 
I’m astounded and am sure I'll continue to be. You will never know the extent of my gratitude. Thank you for bringing them in to my life and I wish you and yours a peaceful and joyous holiday season!

Hi Deadra,
Just wanted to let you know that Logan, a blue merle from Kool and Anna is doing great. A very smart dog
who is loyal, smart and always looking to play frisbee.  He is turning out awesome.  The beach is his
favorite place to run. I have enjoyed him so much that I'm interested in another. A girl this time, so let me
know of future breedings.  Thanks again for a top notch dog, Logan turns heads everywhere we go.

I wanted to drop you a note and tell you how happy we are with Keira. She is such a beautiful dog. She looks so much like her mother (Maggie). She is so smart and gets along so well with my other dogs. I have attached a picture so you can see how much she has grown. Once again thanks so much.

Hi Deadra,
     I hope you are doing well.  I wanted to share with you a photo of “Rocco”. He’s getting bigger.
     This little guy is the best dog I’ve ever had.   Everyone that meets him can’t stop smiling… he is so friendly and well behaved – all my friends offer to hang out with him.   He loves the attention from everyone and gets along with other dogs.  He loves playing catch at the beach. 
     He is a great companion living in the city.  Thanks for the wonderful breeding you provide.

Just wanted to let you know Maya is doing great!  The little girl has a lot of spunk but definitely has a mellow side to her.  Akira (our black tri) and Maya play a lot and sleep together by choice.  She is growing very fast and her coloring has changed quite a bit.  She is a wonderful pup.
Thanks, JT

Hi Deadra,
     Just a quick note before we leave for the MRO.  I can't tell you how much I LOVE my Shy-shy!  Thanks for sending me such a phenomenal, li'l darlin'!  She's the most awesome little girl!  She's got everybody else on the place jealous cuz she's become my right-hand special baby!  Lucy's tryin' hard to adjust to having to share the spotlight-now I've got two "glue-baby" girls! Shy is soooo smart, athletic and BEAUTIFUL! 
Many thanks,

Hi Deadra,
 
Just a quick note to update you on our precious new addition. We are having a blast with our little guy.  He is energetic , loving and strong.  Took him to his first vet visit last week and as we suspected, he is very healthy. Everyone we encounter is an awe with him. He loves the attention from everyone and is very friendly.
 
My girlfriend brought her 2 year-old mini female Aussie to our house and Bleu just loved playing with her; He actually thought he was the bigger of the two.  It was hysterical watching him interact with her dog. 
 
I haven't had the opportunity to take him to the park yet but will be doing that soon. We play fetch at home and about an hour everyday he gets this burst of energy that is unstoppable.  We get such a kick out of him. I think I've lost 2 lbs since I've had him. Cant complain, I was looking forward to losing a few lbs and he may be my best diet plan.  Ha ha.
 
He is a very smart little guy.  Knows exactly what you want from him.  Housetraining is still in the works but definitely making progress. He has really bonded with everyone at home wonderfully.  With me ,he is un-attachable.  
 
Thanks for the wonderful breeding you do and for the professional way you dealt with everything.  You were wonderful in updating us with pictures and responding to all our fickleness.
We are very ecstatic with Bleu and I believe its reciprocal.  He has adjusted wonderfully.
I will be sending you pictures of him just as soon as I can; Its hard to pin this little guy down.

Take care, 

Lissett, Donnie and Bryan

Deadra,
   Our new addition, Tusker, is a feisty little one. He and our 8 month old puppy Jambo are playing like best friends and I do not know who gets the best of who. Tuskers little teeth are sharp and Jambo knows it. Our older dog Blue is very gentle and good with Tusker.
   Tusker arrived at about 5 pounds and is already up to almost 8 pounds. He goes for his first vet visit tomorrow.
   Margaret and I can not thank you enough...Tusker has enriched our life.
Thanks, Wayne

Hi Deadra,
     Jeremy and I are having so much fun with our new little man Logan! He came potty trained I swear, he hasn't have one accident yet!
     Jeremy and I were at the pond yesterday with him, Jeremy was fishing about 12ft from shore in his waders and little Logan paddled all the way out to him without being called. Such a cutie.
     He had his first vet visit today and everything is perfect, thanks for breeding such a great dog. He is so well behaved, soo curious and smart and of course soo cute.
     You may be hearing from the Captain of the boat Jeremy works on, we have him hooked on the breed. Hope all is well, thanks so much again.

Hi Deadra,
Hope all is well in OK....Just wanted to show you how "Keeper" is the "star" of our new pet business. You can see him here with my three kids on the website. We absolutely love him and he is a hit at his puppy training class. He sits, does down stay, gives paw, and even rings a bell that I placed on the back door for him when he wants to go outside. You sent us a little genius. He is now about 17 lbs and is so handsome. We took him to a local agility competition to watch and he was so well behaved, other "dog people" loved him and were so impressed. The first reaction from all was "he is not from around here, he is too good looking and has good manners to be from VA" LOL
Again a million thank you's...
Liz Bly and Crew

I love my new furry bday present

Good Morning Deadra,
    The quick update is DiO'Gee is bringing joy to every aspect of our lives! He is smart, fun and oh so handsome....(he stops everyone in their tracks when we are at the park). His ability to respond to what we want him to do is uncanny!  He has learned so much in such a short amount of time!
Thanks for our good friend and good dog!
With warmth,

Dear Deadra,
 Just a note to let you know how happy we are with our new Aussie. His name is "Keeper" and he is the smartest puppy we have ever met. He is a healthy, active little guy who in the last few days has fit right in here in VA with our family. The kids are having a blast teaching him how to play soccer!
He is using his crate well, walking on a leash, and doing great with housebreaking.  Everyone he has met comments on how "good looking" he is and the first question asked is "where did you get him?"
Thank you so much for  being a responsible and caring  Aussie breeder! We will send photos soon!
Thanks again,
The Bly Family

Deadra,
   We just wanted to let you know what a joy he has been to us over the last few months.  He just finished his first 8 week course of obedience training and begins his new course this Saturday.  He is very smart and is shaping into an extremely handsome young adult.  We will send you some photos soon. 
   I hope all is well in OK.
Thanks again for such a beautiful puppy,

Hi Deadra,
I got the little black bi out of Kool and Anna. She is doing great.  Such a smart little girl. I am starting her in obedience in March and  then we are planning for agility next. I think she will be great at it. 
I looked in the kitchen yesterday and she was standing on the table, jumped right up there like it was nothing! She is really a clown and loves to talk to you, like her mom. She is so much fun. She is getting along great with our other two aussies and is a wonderful house dog. She was a little shy at first but has came right out of it with lots of love and attention. It is good to hear from you, take care and we'll stay in touch. I'll let you know how obedience classes turn out.
Thank you for such a wonderful little addition to our family,
Denise,Brian & Sasha

Deadra,
     Thank you for the great job you did while Ruby was a little pup!!!  What a wonderful dog she is! Ruby is so playful and just as smart as she can be!!  Our male dog, Adobe, adores her.
     You did such a good job sending pictures of her when she was in your care.  Every time  I asked for a new picture you didn't hesitate to send one right out.  I have pictures of her at every age thanks to you!!!
     I would definitely recommend you to anyone interested in one of your puppies!!
THANKS FOR A JOB WELL DONE!!!

Hope you and your family had a good Christmas.

Tess will be 1 year old in February and she is continuing to develop into a fine dog.  She always has a happy face and is still the sweetest dog I've ever owned.  She is so smart.  She loves people and loves to play Frisbee and has become quite good at catching it in the air.  Although we don't use her as a working dog, I can see it in her as she and my other Aussie take turns herding each other around the yard.  She still has a laid back disposition and is always willing to accept commands, whether it's to stay, or come indoors when you call.  She has also become quite a talker and will fuss at you if you're away too long or she wants you to hurry and let her outside to play.

I can't say enough about the good job you've done in breeding dogs with good temperament, disposition and intelligence.  I would highly recommend your dogs to anyone who wants a good, loving dog for their family. 

I have attached a couple of pictures so you can see how she's growing. 

Thanks for a great dog!

I have known Deadra @ Horse Creek Aussies for several years.  This wonderful breed of dogs brought us to know each other. She is a very easy going, kind person. Her pups have great bloodlines and are very socialized, happy and healthy. I am very pleased and thankful to have a chance to own some of her wonderful dogs. All the pups from Horse Creek, I have been around, are very intelligent and full of Life.  You'll be glad you picked a pup from Deadra.

Deadra,

 

     Just a note to tell you Emma is awesome!  We know it is a tribute to your care in the breeding process.  You have handled the entire transaction very professionally.  I would highly recommend any future owners to purchase one of your puppies.  Emma is very smart, agile, and quite beautiful.

 

Regards,

Michael, Bonnie, & Sam Moore

     Just wanted to thank you again for our darling Addie!  She is so precious, and we couldn't be happier!  She has already learned several commands, and is just so smart!   She is fitting right in here, and is such a big part of the family. 
     We took her up to North Georgia this past weekend to a festival.  She had a ball, and that is where we took the pictures of her and our youngest son, Jackson.  I will send you some with her and the older two soon. 
      I hope all is well with you and your family!  I'll be back in touch soon.
Best Regards,
John and Denise Howe

Thank you so much for the puppy.  He is a wonderful dog.  He gets along great with our son and our other Australian Shepherd.  We were happy to do business with you.

Dear Deadra,

 

We are excited to say that Kera is doing very well.  Kera is now 9 weeks old and we have almost had her for a week.  We have been amazed how fast she has adapted to her new home.  We have been very surprised at how fast Kera’s ability to learn and how agile she is.  The second day she was here, she discovered our handrail with spindles.  As we sat in amazement, she weaved herself through them.  We hope to setup an agility course in the future for her to play.

 

Also, Kera’s Vet checkup went very well.  First, everyone loved her sweet personality.  But, most of all, our Veterinarian was very impressed with your worming and health care of your puppies.  He was very happy that Kera’s test result was negative for worms. 

 

During Kera’s week here, she has enjoyed going to the parks, visiting the farm, and playing with her favorite Jolly Ball toy.

 

Thanks again,

Stephen and Melinda Martin

I love the 2 of them.  They came paper trained and that was unreal.  Never had pups do that.  They have impressed my husband so much that he has done nothing but rave on how good they are.  They have already learned their names and come when I call them.  They are real lovers too.  Dusty (little girl) will crawl into my lap and just cuddle if she has her way.  Dakota follows me around so I have to be careful where I step.  They are great pups.   
Thanks,  Vickie

I just have to tell you that those puppies are the most impressive puppies!
The whole litter is soooooo precious. I hope they all go to excellent homes! I like to look at the puppies photos on puppy find and each puppy that you have listed is just outstanding! Congratulations on your exceptional litter!

Deadra,
Little Chief did great his entire way home.  Got in about midnight and he adjusted very quickly to his new surroundings.  We are very happy with our decision.  Look forward to sending you some photos as he grows.  Thank you for your time yesterday. If I ever hear of someone looking for a pup…I will definitely refer you to them.
Take care, Carrie Cain

Aussies are a wonderful breed for attentive and active dog owners and the puppy my husband and I adopted into our family from Buffing Australian Shepherds has proved to be no exception. She has been very healthy-sometimes breeders don't deworm their puppies and it can get pretty ugly, but our little girl didn't have any problems. Cayenne is a beautiful dog-she meets all the Aussie standards and her disposition is so wonderful. She is attentive, smart, dying to please, always trying to cuddle, and always ready to play. We introduced her into our home which already included a two-year-old Aussie and they are the best playmates. Neither dog has ever shown any hint of aggression-if another dog wants their toys, well, it's just time to go find something else to do. Cayenne is a sweetheart and we are not disappointed with our decision. Make sure to support good breeders not back-door breeders or puppy farms-Buffing is a good option.

Deadra,
Just wanted to drop you a few lines and let you know we couldn't be happier with our puppy we got from you. "Shelby" has made herself a part of our family. She is a sweet, smart and beautiful dog. We had never had an Australian shepherd before her and now we wouldn't want any other breed! They are extremely quick learners and have beautiful temperaments. Shelby is great with my 7 year old son. He isn't always the easiest kid to be around but she is always glad to see him & loves to play with him. They are not yappy dogs and easy going enough to get along with other dogs, cats & livestock on the farm. I can't wait until she gets old enough to train. I am sure she will be an asset to our cattle handling. Thanks again and I am sure we will be back again for another pup!

Hey Deadra
I wanted to write a short note about Blu....he is a sweet fellow and our family is VERY pleased to have him her at Independence Kennel. He is developing into a very nice show prospect...Good bone, nice head, good ear set..his gait is looking wonderful...But most of all, it is his personality that is the most noticeable...he is a calm fellow that never jumps on the kids and just loves to be with us. He rides in the car right next to who ever is driving...kinda like he is going to tell us how to do it...but in a gentlemen sort of way.

Good job on this guy!!
And thanks so much for letting him come to us!!

Hi,
   Becky is doing great. She is such a sweet, lovable pup. She is very intelligent, and is almost leash trained. She is very active and sociable. She has learned not to cry whenever she is in her cage. Like all our Aussies we have had, she is very trainable. She has already attempted to herd our sheep! She is a playful, active puppy with a very sweet disposition. She is so beautiful too!
   Thanks for the wonderful puppy!

Hi Deadra,

SKY is not laid-back at all now---
"She is delightfully busy , with an enchanting sweet disposition , checking everything out with her sharp intelligence and loving life!"

Sky loves everyone she meets and is leash-trained now at 10 weeks. Sky is about 12 lbs now--boy does she love to eat!

I haven't taken her to stores or parks yet, but will soon--she is terrified of loud noises, like cars, lawn mowers, etc. so we are exposing her to vacuum cleaner, other loud noises while from her crate or holding her so she will feel safe--but I bet she sure does have the herding instinct down pat--as we get herded quite a lot so do the cats.

Looking forward to seeing KOOL's pups---my son and wife loved our new baby SKY---they have a black -bi male 11 months old now--"Murphy" and live near  Houston.

I love the dog we got from you.
She loves kids and adults. She isn't aggressive but apprehensive.
I don't think I would own another breed.
On top of everything she is beautiful.
Everyone comments on how pretty she is!

Hi,
    Phil bought a puppy from you in April. This is Roo.
    He is such a great dog! He has a big (little) brother Rusty a Mini Schnauzer.
They are best friends. They love to chase the cat.
    Roo now weighs 24 pounds.  He is getting big!  Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Hello Deadra,
   Cayenne is doing fabulous. She is so sweet – she has a lot of energy but she also wants to just cuddle and kiss you.
   People stop us on the street all the time and she sits nicely while they love her to death. She is best friends with our blue merle (2 years) and they play together all day (except for when they are napping together).
   She doesn’t like to fetch yet – she wants to herd - lay low and wait to spring on the other dog while she’s fetching. It’s so funny.
Best, Wendy

   Tess is just a wonderful pup.  She has the best personality and has really captured our hearts.  We are so glad we got her, and couldn't imagine her not being here.
   I was waiting until she was 6 months before sending you pictures so you could see what she looks like pretty much grown.  She developed a red sheen at about 4 months but it has gone away except for behind her ears where it is noticeably red.
   We have really enjoyed our dogs and have considered getting a blue merle but man them rascals love to play and I'm not sure we could keep 3 of 'em busy!
   I'm attaching a couple of pictures and will send more as time goes by.
   We visit your web site every few weeks just to look at the new pups.........Ya never know, one day ya might be sending us another one.
 
Take care, 
Randy and Debbie
