| Willy Australian Shepard with no herding ability. He comes from a long line of purebred Aussies - who for some reason or another, seem to be dis-interested in herding stock. This makes them a great family pet without the concern of them running or chasing livestock. Of course he is a high energy dog - typical of Aussie's. Hyper is the word - but with lots of patience and work he is becoming a much calmer boy. Willy's favorite things are running with the 4-wheeler. Riding in the vehicle and, of course, lots of attention. Aussie's are great family pets and Willy is no exception. He loves people and children. One might not know it to drive up to our gate and find Willy the first one there with the most intimidating look and bark. But, once your invited in - this guy wants to be your best friend. Remember - you must be invited in first.. |
| Buster We got Buster as a pup about 7 years ago. (this is 07).. He is a Border Collie x Sheltie. PLEASE don't ever bred this cross. While we love Buster - he has some strange personality traits. Like, jumping and yelping as if he has been beaten if you might get a foot to close or move to fast. He is overly excitable and is the most annoying one we have for barking. After many years with working Border Collies - I can say these strange traits are certainly not that of a typical BC.. Nor of a typical Sheltie as we had several of them in years past too. So it must be the combination. He also has absolutely NO herding/working instincts. He is is a extremely loyal boy who loves people and children. He enjoys his petting out of the loop of the rest of the pack due to his shyness. We take "special" time with Buster. He also loves to run with the 4-wheeler. |
| Lizzy We rescued Lizzy from a local animal shelter a few years back. While they called her a shepard cross - we feel pretty sure she is a Entlebucher cross. I think her time was close. She could not get a home, and my preception of that is because she is far from the cute energetic dog many look for. Boy did people miss the boat on this one. I chose her because she was the only quiet dog in the place. No barking, jumping and acting crazy. And her soft, loving eyes told the whole story. No disappointment here!. I doubt one could find a better family pet. This dog gets along with everyone - other dogs, people, and she loves people, especially kids. She is mellow yet fun loving. Her favorite past time is chasing rabbits and laying on her back while you rub her tummy. And like all of them, she loves to go with the 4-wheeler. |

| Our dogs care is of the utmost importance to us. Not only health care but giving them what they need to be balanced - happy dogs. For us that means EXERCISE first and formost. Excercise is paramount for dogs. They are pack animals who travel. Without proper exercise we would have 6 very hyper dogs who could develop a whole host of bad habits we see daily in confined dogs who do not get exercise, not to mention - its highly unlikely 6 dogs would get along. So, they get a couple miles of travel every other day. They get things to do and think about. We take the time to give individual attention to each one as they all require a little someting different to keep them balanced and happy.. After exercise comes disapline when needed and affection for all. Yes - we totally agree with Cesar Millan (the Dog Whisperer) Because it WORKS. |
