Hi Kitsy!
We hope you and all the pups are doing well!! Wanted to send a long overdue update on our fluffy girl, Theodora "Thea" Mae (Remy x Ranger 5/25). She looks just like her mommy!
We're so proud of how much she's learned. We did puppy kindergarten last summer and followed up with elementary school in the fall! She's due for middle school this year - hoping to enroll her in the late summer. Thea is a favorite at her daycare facility! She gets so excited and waits by the door when we say "daycare" or her friends' names. She's the leader of a girl group at daycare - they're all very popular with the employees :) Thea is also a regular at our local pet supply store, where she gets way too many treats and her favorite smoked venison bones. We swear she eats better than us!
She is such an adventurous and brave girl! We went on a trip to Julian for our wedding anniversary and Thea stayed in the hotel with us, went shopping around the town, and we all went on a big lake hike. We're still working to perfect leash manners but she's getting better. She's loved car rides since the day we brought her home and she does great on them - although Dad still sits in the backseat with her, otherwise she gets lonely! We've also taken her to the beach with another aussie friend and out in the mountains for hikes many times. She loves the park though and goes crazy for a game of catch! She has a ball pit for rainy days at home and loves to sleep under her blankie on cold days or right in the middle of the kitchen when I'm cooking dinner!

5/28/26 PART 2 (continued)
Thea is a spunky, crazy girl with a ton of energy. Jess and I worked very hard to ensure she felt comfortable in her home and we're proud of her every day. The small observant puppy we brought home has blossomed into a mega wiggle butt! Every puzzle we've given her is completed within a few minutes, she knows how to open the closet door to get her favorite stuffed trout or ball, she can roll up and down car windows (we turned child locks on), and she sleeps on our pillows every night. Her favorite 'trick' is silently appearing when she hears the cheese drawer open in the kitchen.
We're currently planning to get a larger car so we can take her camping and on road trips. We're also hoping to get her a sibling in the near future too! Thea is the best part of our lives and truly made us into a family. She changed our lives from the moment we met her and we'll do anything for her!
Love,
The Campos Family

Hi Kitsy! I hope you’re doing well. Just wanted to give you a little update with new pictures, and how Meadow (Ranger X Kindle 7/25) is doing as she approaches a year old. She is such a good dog - we did the formal training route with her, she graduated about a month ago, and now she’s a pro at a lot of different commands (she loves to work/train just as much as she loves to play or exercise)!
Some of her favorite activities lately: going to the beach/swimming, long runs, and chasing (edible, bacon flavored) bubbles and soccer balls in the back yard. She loves watching most movies that feature dogs or other animals as well.
While she likes to play with other dogs and people, she’s protective (never aggressive) of my wife and I, and definitely thinks one of her most important jobs is keeping us safe and aware of what’s going on around us. She’s very smart, and sometimes bossy - but always so playful and fun to have around. Troy Mullin

Miss Kyle Rae (Ranger x Ivy 11/25) has brought so much joy into our lives, and we truly couldn’t imagine life without her! She is such a smart little girl with the biggest personality. While she definitely loves people a little too much and gets overly excited sometimes, she has been working hard on it and even graduated puppy training recently! We are so incredibly happy to have been able to bring Kyle into our family and wouldn’t change a single thing about her!

Hi Kitsy! It’s been a while, but here are some pictures of our sweet River! (Ranger x Ivy 11/25) He is the best! He’s getting so big and his personality is really starting to come out! He loves to “help” us whether it’s watching us cook, doing the laundry, or go the restroom hahah! He also doesn’t believe in personal space which cracks us up. He loves his lambie toys and playing fetch. He is getting really close to my family as we take him out to Lake Arrowhead to visit them all of the time, which he loves as well. I don’t know if you can tell, but he is also very photogenic haha! He has been such a great addition to our family and we just love him so much! Kaley Attaman

Maisie (Remy x Ranger 5/25) is 1 year old! She is the sweetest dog ever. Her big sister has taught her all the ropes including so is boss! They are different in that Maisie is very vocal. She is a bit reactive to other dogs. But we are working on it. We love her. She is a character.

Hi,
I wanted to send an update about the great Orion (Ranger x Kindle 7/25). When we first picked him up, you told us he was a character, and boy you were right! Orion has been everything we ever wanted — he’s our camping buddy and loves being outside with us.
He’s almost 9 months now and doing great. He goes to the park every morning on a long line to run around and sniff everything, and it’s probably his favorite part of the day. He also loves playing fetch and will chase the ball forever if we let him. In the mornings he likes to sit and watch the birds.
He loves the water and is always splashing around whenever he gets the chance (not swimming yet, but he’s getting there). He’s also a big fan of sweet potatoes and gets very excited anytime they show up.
He’s full of personality and always keeps us laughing. You can really tell he was raised well because he’s confident, curious, and great with people. We really couldn’t have asked for a better dog.
Just wanted to say thank you again for Orion — we absolutely love him.

Here's the latest picture of our puppy. He's been doing great and now at 35 pounds. He still loves his blanky that we picked him up with from you! Our vet says he's super healthy and breeder did a great job!
Thank you.
Alyssa
P.S. He still has his cowlick up along his snout. We call him our "Ridge-nosed" Australian Shepherd...lol

Hi Kitsy,
Happy Valentine's! Thought I'd send some current shots of Bronco and Wrangler. These are about a week old. Wrangler looks filthy because we were at our favorite Sniffspot (private dog park) and he was playing fetch then taking the ball into the pond. The one on the rock is Floyd Lamb Park. One of our favorite places to walk. But I wanted you to see how big and handsome Bronco has gotten. He is still my cuddly boy, but he is very heavy, lol! And I thought you'd like to see this week's mud picture. Hope you like the pictures.
Sincerely,
Tawnia, Wrangler and Bronco

Hi Kitsy,
I hope you and your brother had a wonderful holiday and a happy new year!
I wanted to send you an update and some pictures of Finn (Blake x Scout 10/25). First and foremost, I am obsessed! He is the cutest, fluffiest, little terrorist ever!! He has the best personality and is already attached mainly to me, which I wouldn’t have it any other way—my son, Gibson, is jealous (lol). If I leave the room he is usually not far behind following me and laying right at my feet. We all love how his whole back end wiggles when he gets excited which has earned him the nickname “wiggle butt.”He runs the house and loves playing with his two brothers, Axel and Coal, and they love playing with him—especially Axel (the English Bulldog). He went for his shots on Saturday and got a “pup cup” from Starbucks afterwards and was popular with the drive thru crew—he even got his picture added to their drive thru pup wall! Needless to say, he’s the best addition to our household and so loved!

Hi Kitsy!
Hope you are doing well & have had a good year! Here's a Peachy update. At 9 1/2 years old (Jinx & Ransom, 5/5/16), Peachy is still as playful as when she was a puppy. She is such a happy-go-lucky dog, always ready for some fun. The one side-by-side photo shows her as a pup & then now. Ever since we got her we have always said "Everything is just peachy in Peachy's world!". We are so happy & thankful that she is part of our family.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas & a joyous & peaceful New Year!!
Take care,
Anthony & Amy

Hey Kitsy,
I hope you’re doing well! We wanted to give you an update on how Meadow (Ranger x Kindle 2025) is doing so far, now that she’s fully vaccinated and taking on the world.
She loves meeting new people - she is so perfectly behaved around others, and is the sweetest little dog with them. She deals with strangers a lot, as we take her out in public often, and she’s so cute that strangers come up to us a lot. We’re working on getting her used to meeting other dogs in her weekly puppy classes, and she’s doing well.
She is so very comfy at home with us - she loves her crate, her bed, and all of her toys. She especially loves cuddling with her hedgehog toy whenever she sleeps or when she goes in the car with us (and she is fantastic in the car). She loves to play tug of war as well!
While she’s comfy at home, she is definitely in her raptor stage. She puts everything in her mouth, especially our hands and feet, but somehow/magically knows she can’t do that with anyone aside from the two of us. She is such a character.
Her favorite “high value” treat is still string cheese (like she got as a puppy at your house), with the only exception of the occasional egg for breakfast. She loves laying in/splashing her drinking water onto her face, belly and paws - while that isn’t allowed at our house, it is objectively funny. That behavior is also being fixed, and we can’t wait to take her to the dog beach next summer.
We took her up to Big Bear last weekend to walk on some trails, enjoy the mountain air, and she participated in a Halloween dog costume contest, where she (appropriately) was a dinosaur (raptor). I shared a couple pictures of her with us as her handlers. She did so well with all the strange people and dogs.
People come up to us and compliment her on how beautiful she is all the time - her eyes and coat/markings especially. As pretty as she is on the outside, her curiosity, intelligence, and playfulness all make her personality so much fun for us. We couldn’t love her more.
We’ll be sure to update you again soon! Thanks so much!

Hi Kitsy,
Hope all is well. Thought I should send you a few pics of Bronco (Ranger x Kindle 2025) , and Wrangler (Sutter x Kindle 2024) & Bronco. It has been crazy with these two since we got home. They play constantly. A typical day is wake up, eat breakfast, wrestle and run around the house and backyard, nap. Then wake up from napping wrestle, run around the house and backyard, and tear up any box they find, nap again. Chase kitties, destroy toys and general mayhem.
Bronco is now 12 weeks and is growing daily. I'll find out his weight tomorrow when we go for vet check & shots. He feels like he's pushing 20 lbs already.
He is absolutely my cuddly boy. He sleeps with me and has the sweetest wake up routine. I get a big snuggle in the morning with kisses and he gets lots of belly rubs. Then its off to wake up Wrangler and start the day's shenanigans. I love this dog! And so does Wrangler. They are inseparable.
I'll send more pics as he gets bigger. I'm thinking he's going to be as big as Wrangler. Which means I will have two 70 lb boys. And I am so okay with that.
Take care,
Tawnia, Wrangler & Bronco

Kitsy,
Just wanted to share some pictures of my pups with you. They are all doing really great and Rig is such a great addition to Elska and Enzo. It’s gets a bit crazy in our house at times but they are so much fun together. Rig really is so sweet and so smart; he’s an awesome dog . We get stopped on walks all the time with people telling us how gorgeous he is.

We purchased Stella Marie Ashland 3 years ago and she is heaven sent. So sweet, loves to work cows, loves people and is absolutely beautiful. We get comments wherever we go. She even rocks the agility courses!! Makes us laugh at all her silliness and is a wonderful traveler because she goes wherever we go!! If we can’t take Stella we don’t go!! Love her to pieces!! Blake is her daddy and scout is her mom! Couldn’t ask for a more perfect child!!!

Kitsy, hello from us and Finn to you and yours. Hope all is well there. Thought I’d share a couple of photos to let you know how Finn is doing. We’ve been taking him to obedience classes and fun classes where he does tricks. He’s learning to ride a skateboard. Seems to really like it. He got a ribbon for doing some basic tricks. We also had him neutered. Happened this past Monday. He’s doing well. Not thrilled about the cone but tolerates it most of the time. Can’t believe he’s already going to be 19 months old July 4th. Time sure flies.
He’s a good boy and we love him to pieces…even when the devil in him comes out! So happy Karyl referred us to you!
Have a sparkling 4th! Mary Ann Cronin

Hi Kitsy,
Yuki (Blake x Winter, June 2022) turned 3 years old last week. She is doing well. My son graduated college, and got a job up in San Francisco. Yuki has been a great road companion when we go for a visit. We have been to numerous dog parks in the Bay Area. Fort Funston (see photos) and San Mateo are our favorites. We have run into numerous mini Aussies on our travels, and people still ask us if she is a mini. She is the perfect size for us.
Pls take care.
Best, Tim, Jodi, Troy, and of course, Yuki.

Kitsy…
hope all is well with you and yours. Finn (Blake X Scout 1-24) is growing up and we are enjoying him very much. Here’s a picture of Finn and me on a pack walk with our trainer. We’ve been taking him to a place called Zoom Room for obedience classes and something called enrichment. The latter is a fun class where he gets to test his balance and brain doing fun stuff like trying to ride a skateboard!
He’s a happy pup. We love him dearly. So happy we have him thanks to you.

Here is Klay at two years old (3/23 – Blake and Scout).
He is the best dog we have ever had. A true companion and friend and just loves life.

Hi Kitsy,
Happy New Year! Hope all is well.
I wanted to send you some updated pics of my boy, Wrangler (Sutter X Kindle 4/25/24). He is just over 8 months old now. He is a very BIG boy. I think he's around 50-55 lbs. Gotta get to the vet to weigh him, LOL! By far the heaviest lap dog I've ever had. He is a very confident boy too. Everyone that meets him seem to think he is a Bernese Mtn Dog and I have to point out that he doesn't have a tail and he's way smaller. Plus he's just better than a Bernie (to me anyway). And I always get lots of compliments on how beautiful he is. Ziggy, my 14 year old Aussie, thinks he can keep up with Wrangler and tries so hard, but it is exhausting for him and he usually sleeps for an entire day after playing with Wrangler.
Thank you (again 5th time now) for the best Aussie family members. Wrangler is loved by everyone, especially me.
Tawnia
