Hi Kitsy,
I hope all is well with you..... I saw
Scout with her puppies and thought I should give you an update on Sailor (Winter
x Sutter 10/15/19). I remember how protective Scout was of Sailor
when we picked him up.
Sailor is 5 years old and weighs about 58 Lbs. He
is well trained, super smart, affectionate, playful, very handsome and still
has Aussie Sass! He still enjoys learning new tasks and tricks. He is my
best friend, protector and constant companion. I could not have asked for a
better dog!
Here are some pics of our boy

Kitsy,
Thought you’d like to see a picture of how
gorgeous Rig (Blake X Scout 1/24)has grown
to be in the last few months. He’s really such a great dog, we just love his
personality; he is so sweet, smart and playful . He gets along so well with
Enzo (Kindle X Ransom 1/21) and Elska
(Loretta X Ransom 8/19) and loves going on
runs with me. He’s so well-behaved and heels naturally when he runs with me.
Thanks again for such great pups x3!

Hi Kitsy,
Hope this email finds you well. I
wanted to send some current pics of Wrangler
(Sutter X Kindle 4/24). He's huge! I don't remember Shark or Ziggy
being this big at 3 mos. He's just as goofy though. He's really, really
smart and is learning his manners quickly. I finally have a dog that likes
to play fetch, lol! But with one specific ball.
Ziggy just loves him,
they run around the back yard daily (which exhausts my 14 yo Ziggy), and
have a blast. He thinks our Bichon/Poodle mix is a tiny sheep for him to
herd, she doesn't take to kindly to that at all. He even plays with one of
our kitties, she usually starts it with him.
Once again you've given
me such a joy in my life with this boy. Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
Tawnia

Hi Kitsy,
Just sending an update on Kuna (aka
“Barra-kuna” due to her relentless mouthing w those horrendous teeth).
(Sutter x Remy 3/24) She’s a real
snuggler, especially while chewing on her toys and not me! She’s still in
puppy kindergarten and the training is going great. She’s quite a character
and has become the instructor’s favorite (shhh, it’s a secret).
A pic of
us getting her used to being in a backpack so we can take her out on longer
hikes than her developing joints should do. She did well but I was feeding
her the whole time. A pic of her eyes in case you’re curious how they turned
out. She’s got one fully brown and one half blue, half brown which makes it
look green, she’s gorgeous!!!
She LOVES people (including the Vet!),
loves chasing us on our bikes (don’t worry, only dirt and only very very
short), not a fan of the car when its moving for more than 5 mins (working
on this, some days better than others even w anti nausea meds), can track
the frisbee when at her eye level, sleeps through the night, and hasn’t had
a potty accident in house for 2 weeks! She’s Very loving, fun, and adorable!
We couldn’t love her more! I also heard a neighbor just got an Aussie puppy
last week so we’ll go check that out next week.
Curious to know how
Winter is doing if you feel like sharing.
Hope all is well!
Susan,
Marc & Kuna

Hi Kitsy,
Just to let you know, Yuki (Blake
x Winter 2022) turned 2 years old last week. She is doing great. She
loves her daily walks, and seeing both her people and doggy friends around
the neighborhood. We have taken her many times to visit my son at college,
and she has made numerous friends there as well. She loves to play catch
with her chuckit ball. When relaxing, she loves to sit on the top of our
sofa (like a cat) or on her back.
Thank you so much.
Best, Tim,
Jodi, Troy, and Yuki

Hi Kitsy,
Hope this email finds you and your
family well. Wangcai (Rocky) (Blake X Winter
7/1/2023) has become an important and
active role in our home, and we have been to many places with him, Yosemite,
Bass Lake, Mission Peak, and many trails around our home. Wangcai is really
outgoing and friendly. He likes playing with people and other dogs, and
often lies down to people asking for belly rubs. He runs like a bolt of
lightning, and loves his Chuckit with orange balls. He is an adult dog now
and pretty handsome. We really enjoyed the time together with him!
Best
regards,
Guyu

Hi Kitsy!
Such cute puppies in Sutter & Remy’s
newest litter! I can’t get over how much blue Merle girl 3 looks like my
Romeo (Ivy’s litter mate)! I hope the owners update you with pics so we can
see her grow!
Here’s a little throwback of Romeo a year ago vs now. He’s
still in the teenage phase, but already so handsome!

Hi.
Thought I’d send you an email letting you
know how Finn (Blake X Scout 1/24) is
doing. He’s 3 months old already and will get his last vaccination tomorrow
morning. We’ve been socializing him by taking him to parking lots in busy
places, Lowe’s and an outdoor mall. I’ve attached a couple pics for you.
We hired a dog trainer who comes whenever we need assistance and she is
great. He’s learning to walk on a leash and making improvements every day.
We only walk him on our cul de sac cause neighborhood has lots of dog on
adjoining streets, but Finn doesn’t seem to mind. We also signed him up for
puppy classes in May. Our trainer holds them and we’re looking forward to
going with him and learning together.
Hope you and your family are
doing well. We’re hanging in there with the velociraptor and finding good
things for him to chew.

Hi Kitsy!
I hope you
are well, Sydney (Blake X Winter 2023) is doing amazing, full of energy!
She’s such a funny girl, still pretty much a land shark and loves to eat
everything in her sight. We already took her camping , hiking and even
offroading! Sydney and Riley our pug are now besties! We will keep you
posted on adventures!
Thank you

Kitsy,
Just wanted to send you a quick note to
say that Rig is doing great on his first night home being incorporated in
with Elka and Enzo. He really has such a great personality; calm and
confident and playful. Elska and Enzo were very accepting of him right away.
Thanks for another great dog, we love him already. I’ll keep you posted with
pictures as he grows.

Hi Kitsy, here’s a couple of updated photos of our boy, Hugo
(Jinx x Ransom 2020). He is a JOY. Always wants to participate, loves playing frisbee, is quite the swimmer, and is probably the best all-around dog we’ve ever had. His Aussie crimped wet hair and wiggle butt keep us smiling. You do such a fantastic job with your dogs.Thank you ❤ Shana and Devin
