Here's more updates from other puppy buyers.
Kodi (short for Kodiak) has taken his first vacation to
Maine. He learned to swim by running full speed off the
side of the large boulder that we use as a beach on ...  
Read Morethe lake. It was rather comical. His sister, Kylie,
our other dog , jumped right in and showed him to what to
do. He's been a water dog ever since. LOVES to swim and
run in the woods of Maine. Our neighbors recently lost
their beloved pet and we are trying to convince them that
Kodi's sister would be perfect for them. Thanks so much for
Mickey (aka Kodi) and all your help getting him to us. He
really is growing into a wonderful dog. He's so affectionate.
I promise I'll get you some more updates and pictures.

Dusty is a beautiful dog and is a
good dog too. He is alway happy
with me and the children.
I'm very happy with Dusty and I like
this name too.

Gracie  is such a smart dog
and we really are enjoying
her.

I just have to tell you what a joy
Zeke has turned out to be and he
fits in the family great. He keeps us
laughing. He is such a character
and still loves a good belly rub! Let
us know if you do any more
breeding as his parents must be
gorgeous. He's a head-turner for
sure.

My niece decided to name the puppy Aurora.. It suits her..
she's definitely a little princess. Just wanted to thank you
again for her; she's gorgeous and incredibly smart! She's
99% housebroken.. She walked on a leash for the first time
like she had done it for years. She has been calm and
sweet with everyone in the house, my office, the
neighborhood.. She sleeps the night in her crate with no
crying or carrying on.. She learned to sit and lay down just
by watching my other dogs. She also instantly become the
boss of all the other dogs.. She does NOT like it when she
can't have her way.. Very funny to watch her when she's
being reprimanded! We're all so impressed with her. I
would take home another one if I could!!

Coach is doing great. Just back from
our first Vet visit, and all is well. See
picture attached. He is incredibly smart,
and is keeping my wife and me on our
toes. We love him to death. Thanks
again.

Coach is doing really well and we love
him to death. He is the greatest dog,
lots of energy, smart, and has done a
great job of training us. He is now
about 50 lbs, up from 10lbs when he
arrived.

We had a great first 24 hours with Lucy! Edie was so
obnoxious at first meeting, and we were afraid she was
going to make Lucy afraid...BUT Lucy can sure hold her
own with Edie and now they're playing so hard and play
growling so convincingly that Ruby feels she needs to
go in and break them up. It's too cute.  Lucy loves to
"dig" in the water bowl-you should see her pawprints in
comparison to Edie's--twice as big! We're getting her a
baby pool today. Lucy is so mellow! It's nice to just pet
her without her reaching around and trying to chew on
my hand (like Edie does). We think she might be able to
hear certain things; we're still watching her, but when I
clap my hands really loudly, or Edie barks one of her
screachy barks, Lucy stops what she's doing and looks
around. I'm going to try the silent dog whistle next. Sign
language begins next week. I've used "sit" and "no" a
few times and she's picking up quickly! We're so happy
Edie has a playmate who can play just a scrappy as she
does! Thanks for sending the blanket, vaccine records,
and food. We lover her! She's too dang cute!

I'm not sure if you remember my boyfriend, Michael, and I,
but we adopted an Aussie puppy (a male blue merle) from
you and Madge about 2 1/2 years ago and named him Owen.
Owen is doing really well - he's healthy, very smart, friendly
and well-behaved (excluding the occasional cat-chase! :)).  
We wanted to thank you so much for Owen - he is just a
terrific dog and a great addition to our household. Anyway,
the reason I am writing is because I noticed on your website
that you might have another Aussie puppy available (a black
tri female) and was wondering if we could get more
information and pictures of her as we've been thinking
recently of getting another dog and have basically fallen in
love with Aussies as a result of having Owen.  If you could
just let us know if she's still available and information about
her, that would be great. Thanks!

I just wanted to drop you a line to
tell you how much we love Jake.  
He is settling in just fine and has
made friends with our 10 yr old
aussie Turbo.  He loves to run and
play on our acreage and play with
Turbo.  He is very smart and loves
everybody.  We are very happy to
have him in the family!

Thanks for the great dog!

Ricky
Just wanted to update you on Ricky. Attached is a photo of him
playing with our other dogs, Kiya (lab/chow) and Junior (black tri
aussie).  Presently, Ricky weighs in close to 40 lbs. at 6 months.  
He has graduated from both puppy obedience and agility, as well
as regular obedience 1.  Aside from his athletic abilities, Ricky is
an amazing companion.  He has a wonderful personality that
always comes through wherever we go.  So far I can take him
anywhere and he adjusts rather quickly.  He's always being petted
or hugged with lots of compliments.  Thanks Carissa for being
such a conscientious and responsible breeder.  Whenever
someone asks me about Ricky and his breeder I'm always happy to
tell them about you and encourage them to check out your website.


Many thanks,
Mitchie and David

We are having SO much fun with our puppies.  We
got Steeler from AZ two weeks before Maggie
(Sierra) arrived.  Our dear old dog, Timber, passed
away in May.  He got some good nanny time in and
passed on good habits.  We have been to several
dog shows and many show practice nights with
our local ASCA.    Sierra is 48 lbs so far. They sit
and stay, fetch, and swim.  We try to do a walk or
bike ride every day. They have been camping, four
wheeling, elk hunting, and loving life. I need to send
you photos, she is gorgeous.
Thank you so much for an adorable cuddly
rambunctious pup!

Hi there, we just had to let you know Zeke continues to
be the best dog we could have asked for, such
adorable personality.  Everyday when I leave the house
he sits on this hill in our backyard where he can see
the driveway and won't go in until one of us
returns....very loving dog and must be with us always,
well as most aussies are but him even more so.   
Complete lover of a dog so thank you.  Did Baxter ever
find a new home or is he still with you?   We definitely
decided 2 spoiled aussies is enough for one house.

Hope all else is well with your family & thanks again,
Lisa B.
Hi Carissa,

I bought Bailey, now Cali, from you awhile
back.  I wanted to let you know how much joy
Cali has brought into our lives.  She is just so
easy to love! She is just a naturally happy dog,
and you can't help but smile back at her. She
is always ready to play and is the prettiest dog
I have every owned.  We get compliments all
the time about her striking markings.
     She is so smart as well.  We took her to
puppy kindergarten at Tulsa Dog Training Club
immediately and worked with her at little at
home on the basics, and that was enough to
pass the basic obedience test.  She is now
four weeks away from finishing Novice I at ten
months.  We then move on to Novice II and
then intro to agility!  She is going to be great.  
The had some equipment to play on in puppy
class and she loved all of it.
     Also, Matt and I are interested in buying a
black tri male in the future.  So if you have any
in your next litter, we are very interested.  I
have come to find out that aussies are like
potato chips...once you have one... you want
more!!
   Thanks for creating the best dog for our  
family
-Blair and Matt, OK
     
Coach is now just past 1 year
old. He is 57lbs of loving and
very active dog. We love him so
much.
Thank you again,
Fred
