Asher
We are amazed at how much Asher has learned and how much he has grown in such a short time. Sometimes the girls argue over whose turn it is to have him because we all want him with us. Can you tell me again about the size of his parents? Just trying to figure out about how big he’ll get. Although it doesn’t really matter because we’ll love him just the same no matter what. If you have any baby/puppy pictures of Asher that you can send, we’d really like that for his scrapbook.
Thanks for keeping in touch.

Hi Wanda,
He is doing wonderful. As the picture shows, he has really been chilling out half the day.
He went potty as soon as we got home and loves playing in the snow! The girls have taken him out a few times in the yard and he has been excited to run around. We bought a dog bed similar to yours and that is his home….He takes the toys there and just hangs out playing with them. He has a mini ball he was playing with…too funny – he’d bring it on the bed, nose it off and then go chase it! He loves the stocking and has curled up with it a lot. His kennel has been introduced and he is at home in there as well.
He has really been a chill dog so far; I’m sure he is getting used to his new home and us. A lot of napping so far, but when he plays, or like when Ryan came home, he gets excited. Not much nipping or chewing. The kids and I have decided on the words we use for potty breaks and such so we are consistent.
Goodness, I sound like a new mom! But really, he is awesome and we are so happy and complete with him here!!
Thank you. He really is a great tempered pup and this is going to be such a fun adventure for all of us!

Bonnie is great! She’s such a sweet and loyal dog. We’re currently on a road trip and we brought her with. Here’s a few pictures of her. One is at arches national park and the other at the grand canyon. We stopped at a family members house yesterday who also has a mini aussie and they were instantly best friends!

Wanda
I just wanted to send you an update on how Riley was doing. He has really grown up to be quite a pup. He is doing great here in El Paso and he and I are traveling back to my hometown in Maryland. Hope everyone there at Sandy Creek Aussies has a great holiday season.
Merry Christmas and happy New year!

Gracie
For a video of Gracie in action, click here.
I think I told you she has already earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen and Canine Good Citizen Advanced at 8 months. We are currently working on obedience and I have her in a class so she is used to working around other dogs. Of course, she is doing extremely well. We had to quit because she has just come into season.
She has the BEST temperament and she absolutely loves kids, never getting too rowdy for them. I’ve attached a few pictures and I also have a short video you are welcome to use on my page of her playing frisbee with our grandson.
Thanks again so much for this beautiful girl. We couldn’t be happier!!!!

He is learning so quickly with everything it seems like. I have taken him to two puppy classes in SF. and have another one this coming Saturday. It’s going great but I am the only one in the class which stinks because I was hoping he would get some puppy playtime in. Oh well. Everybody loves him! I am so glad we were able to get a puppy from you.

Hi Wanda!
We are all in love!! We gave Flame a new name (Finnigan) and he has been such a wonderful little guy. Potty training is going well also. Finn was also brought to our vet on Thursday and that was great.
Thank you so much for letting us be Finn’s forever family. He is such a welcome and wonderful addition to our family!

We LOVE him so much. My husband is so happy with him too! I had to go to work this morning and I almost cried because I just wanted to stay home with him. Kevin took him to work on the farm today and they were on a trip to town in the pickup when he sent me a picture! He was a little shy/scared last night but was very tired too. He only woke up once in the night and I took him out and then he didn’t wake up again until about 5:30 when our alarms went off. He seemed much more lively this morning and was wanting to play. He did get sick after I fed him last night. I don’t know if that was just too many new things?? But I haven’t heard that he has been sick today yet. Kevin did take him to the vet today like your paper said to do within 3 days and the Vet said he has a clean bill of health! He said the lady at the vet loved him : )
Thanks again for the wonderful puppy. He is a fantastic addition to our family. My mom also stopped by to visit him and had already sewn him a puppy bed for our house! (and of course she bought him a stuffed monkey too!

Happy Puppies
Wanda,
Just wanted to let you know things are going great with the new puppies! They’re both getting along well with Loki our German Shep., the cat would like them to be a little less happy though, but they’re learning how to stay on his good side. They helped with barn chores yesterday and they couldn’t have been better, have met the chickens through the fence and saw their first flock of turkeys. I’ll hold off a while until we meet the horses.
What a wonderful job you’ve done with them – confident and smart. We can separate them and they’re still happy little puppies. We’ll start bringing them to work with us later in the week. My plan for now is to bring the little boy with to Oklahoma for the horse show.
Thanks again!

Lambeau (a.k.a. Chrome)
Hi Wanda,
We named the puppy (Chrome) Lambeau. He has been doing wonderful!! We live about 1 mile from the school I teach at so I am able to come home for about an hour every afternoon for some play time and a quick walk. He loves it!
Lambeau recently finished up a 4 week puppy class at Kenlyn Kennels in Edgerton, WI and will be starting an obedience class there this week. After that, we are hoping to get him into agility. He is so incredibly smart and is learning new things every day. He has mastered sit, down, paw, and fetches a tennis ball and Frisbee. He loves going to my parents house to play with their aussie/border collie mix as well as their neighbor’s standard aussie. He has also made friends with another mini aussie in our neighborhood. He will be 16 weeks tomorrow, and is growing so fast! He is already 22 pounds!! I have attached some recent pictures of him so you can see how much he has grown.
Hope all is well with you!

She has also made amazing progress on the leash! I am impressed by her intelligence every day. It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since I got her!

Hi Wanda,
I thought you would enjoy an update of Maverick & Moxie. They are having blast together this summer. They’re good pups!
Maverick is so talented, he’ll sprint 60+ yards away to catch a frisbee in his mouth. Moxie (the puppy) is just fetching the frisbee for now but we hope to teach her to catch it later this summer.
The picture quality isn’t that great we have included one of Maverick jumping to get his frisbee. Enjoy!

Emma
Everything is going well! She really brings us a lot of joy, she is a sweetheart, but also very smart and can be manipulative at times 😉 But it is always cute and funny to watch. She knows lots of our vocabulary, the usuals: car ride, treat, walks… but also knows the difference between each of her toys… she has a boyfriend dog toy called "Jeffrey" and when we say go find Jeffrey, she goes and gets him, she also knows "sheep" "bone" "rope" "ball" "Santa (a Christmas toy)." We also just bought a pouf to function as an ottoman because we don’t have much room, but she’s claimed it as her own. So when we say "go lay on your pouf" she jumps right up on it! And just recently, every time my iPhone rings she’ll run to the door in excitement because it usually means I’m letting someone into our apartment complex and she loves people so much she gets excited. It’s adorable. She also knows what I mean when I say "auntie" or "grandma" and "grandpa" aka my sisters and my parents or my boyfriend’s parents. She LOVES them so much because they spoil her when she stays with them.
She does very well with kids, other adults and other dogs. We have never had an issue with her being shy or not wanting to give everyone a million kisses. I don’t know what I’d do without her! Makes me sad to know that dogs can’t live as long as us, because she really is my child now 🙂 I can’t believe it has already almost been two years since we brought her home. Someday I hope we can get her a brother… a blue merle male 🙂 I don’t think we will ever want another breed of dog, mini Aussies are just too wonderful! It’s funny though, because of her size, some people still think she’s a puppy and because of her coloring we get asked if she is a Bernese puppy.

Hi Wanda,
Kitty is fitting in very well. We have two other dogs here and they all love to play. I take her running with me and we go explore the Minnehaha dog park aka doggie heaven 🙂 She knows all sorts of commands like sit, stay, shake, lay down, and roll over. Very friendly with kids and new people. Thanks for checking in, I’ll keep sending the pics your way!

and swim with the ducks in the lake. He is such a love, and perfect fit to

I actually wanted to reach out to you because my boyfriend is looking for a
dog "just like Rem". I was wondering if you will be having pups any time
soon?

I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed the puppies this morning. They were a joy to watch together, and – of course – it was a special joy to see Moxi and hold her. Thank you so much for being willing to give us your time for this. You have built a wonderful business by the Lord’s faithful help, and I will be the grateful receiver of your labor, skill and talent. God bless you even more for the joy this is for me!
Blessings on you,

Hi Wanda:
I don’t know if you remember us but in March of 2013, we brought Ella (Paisley) home with us.
I have had many dogs, but never one quite like this. Every day when I get home from work I get a hug like you see above in the picture. She is super smart and lovable. She gets daily trips to the dog park and I think she will be awesome at agility. She has been to some obedience training too. She is everything we could have asked for in a dog and more. I look at your site all the time because I want another one!!! Right now we have three dogs the oldest being 14 so it will be a while but I hope you are still breeding this beautiful dogs when it’s time for another one.
Cannot even express how much we love her.
Thanks Again!

Finch
We had a great time at puppy class. He was definitely the smartest and the most mellow in the class. 😉
Overall, Finch is still doing very well. He is the definitely the calmest and the quickest learner in puppy school and everyone loves him. I brought him into a Petco the other day to pick up some toys and the trainer there said he was the ‘best bred Aussie she’d ever seen.’ What a compliment!

Good morning Wanda! I thought it would be about time to send you a picture of our girl. She is so loved and spoiled. I knew from the minute I met her, when she snuggled up on my feet that she was lovey and she really is. She is so affectionate with each of us. She has a best friend. I think I told you that our friends have a full size Aussie whose name is Lilly von Stupp. Pepper has playdates with her several times a week. They chase each other until they both fall asleep :). I hope this finds you well and surrounded by happy dogs.

Hi Wanda! It’s been almost 3 years since we brought Koda (Denver) home! He’s super smart and always willing to please. We’ve done a little backyard agility & he picks it all up so fast. He has even figured out how to get the mini horses to give him a belly rub! We will be visiting nursing homes again this year. As rambunctious as he can be, he sure minds and calms down when there are little kids or elderly around. Just wanted to drop you a note, looks like all is well. Hope you have a great year!

Hi Wanda! I wanted to send you an update on Griffin. He has been such a great addition to our family and we are so happy to have such a sweet puppy. He loves every person, kid, and dog he meets. We have a 3 year old niece and she and Griffin are best friends. We even taught him to play hide and seek with her (he sits and stays while she hides, then he runs and finds her). It’s adorable! He also loves playing in the snow and going to the dog park. Today we celebrated his 1st birthday! I added a family picture for you to see him grown. He is a very loved pup! Hope all is well with you and your family. We occasionally check out the new liters on your website and wish we had the space for another pup to love!
Take care

She is doing GREAT and fits right in! I am so happy with her – she’s still a little one only 14 pounds but loads of fun and such a snuggler! Can’t wait for her puppy teeth to go as she’s chewing all the soft toys to bits! She’s getting spayed next month and the Vet is just thrilled with her progress.
She just passed level one obedience and starts level two at the end of April. I included a picture here for you so you could see her progress.
Again thank you so much! She’s a treasure!

Willa
January 31, 2014
Life has been wonderful with Willa (formerly Rayna) and yet really busy in all other areas.
After a week I finally settled on a full name for her….Sandy Creeks Willow in the Wicket …. Willa for short. She is simply lovely! Her big brother Jackson loves her! Let’s her sleep near him when not I her kennel. Plays with her often and lets her sniff gently when he wants to be left alone.
They are doing GREAT together! My roommates Bichon Frise has been slower to warm up to Willa but is now kind of playing with her once in a while. My parents three smooth coat Collies all play with her whenever we are visiting them. She’s had a couple puppy play classes already and did great! She starts training school officially on the 15th of February.
My vet who also has Aussies thought she was adorable and a great puppy. She got her second vaccination yesterday and did GREAT.
She is just a joy! Thank you so much for all the love and care you put into your pups Wanda! It makes a HUGE difference! When Jack passes I will definitely be coming back to you! I am just tickled with Willa. She is just 8 pounds now – still a little one but simply adorable!

Flynn
January 30, 2014
Hello!!
Flynn’s 1 year birthday is this month. He is only 13.5 pounds, technically a "Toy" Aussie, yes? We LOVE his size – he is so mobile and easy to carry when needed!
He has a great personality: loves to exercise (especially frisbee), takes care of his 13 chickens and 4 children, loves to camp (2 weeks in Montana this summer), and is very serious about his evening play time!
Flynn keeps telling me he wants another Mini Aussie in the house to play with, but he doesn’t tell his Dad because he isn’t so sure how that will go. If we were to get another, we would get one from you! Flynn was practically "trained" when he arrived! He was a well-adjusted – an already social pup!
Thank you so much for one of the best dogs I have ever owned!
P.S. The attached photo is when he was 7-months old. We took a trip to Montana with 4 of our children. Flynn was a natural!
Warmly,
Lisa
Roxzyn
January 28, 2014
Hello!!
We are doing great!! Roxzyn is amazing and we love him very much! He has a awesome personality and smart a a whip and loves to test the waters to see what he can get away with!!!
Roxzyn is in puppy classes and he is the start student and a very quick learner. The funniest thing is when all the puppy’s are running around playing with each other in class Roxzyn is more interested going up to each person to see if he can mooch a treat. He is very obsessed with food!!!
He is an absolute a joy and were so lucky to have him in our lives!!
Have a Great day!

Suzette – (who will be Winnie or Stella in her new Maine life), is a winner! What a lovely dog.
She is already learning things- has made lots of new friends, seems perfect mix of curious and careful, and friendly and easily handled – You ( and parents genetics) did a great job — I am really crate training and taking her everywhere – She’ll do a little puppy work on Tuesday we got a thaw so that is easier than the single digits and below My daughter is clicker training already (just gently positively reinforcing – we know that Winnie has had a long weekend.She is eating and drinking – Maybe has a little motion sickness on full stomachs in car, but peppy and looks absolutely fine re the wear of the air plane.
Mom absolutely loves Paris

Hi Wanda,
Just wanted to check in and let you know Tande (we call her Kitty) is growing up into such a great little dog. She is very active, loves to run and jump. At the dog park someone had commented that she looks like a good lap dog, she just loves to run laps! I thought you might like a photo of her in action 🙂 Hope you and the dogs are doing well!
All the best,
