Patsy - RETIRED
PATSY, the Standard Poodle Puppy, is just a lovebug that loves anyone and everyone. She was offered to us in trade for Aussie stud serves from Lindsey Worley of Dandy Doodles. We never thought we'd be a Poodle family, but she's fitting right in! She brushes out rather nicely and we love that she doesn't SHED at all!! She has super curly hair that when brushed out is soft, silky and kinky, like a permed teddy bear. She carries the perfect double genes for the least shedding, most hypoallergenic, Aussiedoodles: 2 Copies of Furnishings, 2 Copies of Curly Coat

Daphne - RETIRED
Daphne is the daughter of our sweet Mollie, we adopted them together and the two of them are just the sweetest, loving, kind, soulful and wise Aussies we have here on the farm. Daphne is extremely affectionate & cuddly. Shes easygoing, gets along with all our animals & loves to follow us everywhere. She always has a smile and an eager expression on her face with a happy bouncy energy. She is submissive to the older more experienced mama dogs on the farm, that means she has wisdom and is a follower. She is also cautious with visitors she doesn’t know, waiting to make sure we are all good, then she warms up to them.

The Boys
Maverick
Bline's Awesome Maverick
Maverick
Maverick
Maverick is a little love bug in a compact ball of fluff. He can never keep up with his bigger counter parts here on the farm, but that's okay, because he'd rather climb into my arms and get love! Maverick came from Pleasant Valley Kennel in Oregon and is registered as a Miniature American Shepherd with the AKC. He is registered with ASDR as a Mini Australian Shepherd.
Maverick loves to just run like the wind and then roll around all over the grass, in multiple spots, one roll is never enough. He has sired over 12 litters and is a popular STUD for outside babes as well. He is definitely a ladies man as he's super sweet and patient with the girls and they all love him like crazy.

Scooter
Scooter is a Maybelle Grandbaby. My daughter Emily and I went all the way to the Islands of Bocas Del Toro, Panama to bring him home from the tropical jungle. His owner, Gary, retired from CA life and purchased a chocolate farm and nature preserve: Green Acres Chocolate Farm. Scooter is a happy go lucky, high energy boy and he literally bounces on his feet like Tigger. He loves all people and all animals. He is a fun-loving sweetheart. In addition, he absolutely loves to splash and play in the water and the snow. His water bowl is empty every afternoon (drinking & splashing at the same time is apparently 'the' only way to drink water) and he loves to swim in our pond!

Charlie
Charlie is a cute little guy that we adopted when he was 9mo old. He is a small bundle of energy with a HUGE personality. He also works farm security as the assistant to Lando. As his job title suggests, he is not afraid to use his 'ferocious' bark to scare off anything suspicious. He wasn't socialized well before we got him, so he is not very people oriented, but he has started to enjoy scratches & cuddles, now that he knows what they are!

Neg. Carrier: IVDD (not an issue when bred with an Aussie for Aussiedoodles
Johnny 'Cash'
Cash came to us from a breeder in Kentucky and lived his first 8 weeks of life in their living room, so he did not get as much environmental or social exposure as we would like for an 8 week old puppy to have. Having said that, he is the biggest lover over all our Aussies so far! Anytime he has an opportunity, he puts his paws on my lap and just looks at me with his big eyes. He patiently waits for me to tell him he can come up to get his love. He has gorgeous sparkly blue eyes and amazing copper on his sweet little body; however, for some reason, adventure is not his thing.:)LOL If I'm out and about working on the farm, he patiently waits on the front porch or right around the corner watching for me to come back to the house. Some dogs are just homebodies, like me. He's slowly developing a more adventurous spirit, the more we take him out and expose him to this big beautiful amazing world, while providing him with safety, security and love..

Oliver
Oliver was no bigger than my husbands hand when we first adopted him from a breeder in South Carolina. I saw his picture on-line and told my husband that all our Doxie's are getting old, we need a new generation. Well, to make a long story short, we drove 5 hrs to get not only Oliver, but also our Poodle boy Charlie from the same breeder. Oliver is fearless and loves to chase the neighbor's cows off our property when they break through the fences. He is absolutely infatuated with our Roxy and they are always together on their adventures around the farm.

Lando
Lando is our 150 lb. Anatolian Shepherd & Spanish Mastiff livestock Guardian Dog, he also deters strangers from trespassing! He is a gentle soul in an oversized body and he absolutely does not trust anything motorized, especially USPS, UPS and FedEx delivery trucks, in fact he tries to block their passage down our drive way. Many a delivery driver has been slightly traumatized by our Lando-Dog-Ridian (That's what our guys call him:).

Po - RETIRED TO LIVE ON A SOFA IN CA
Po is a Grandbaby of Wyatt and a Great Grandbaby of Maybelle. His mother is Kona & his dad is Riley, they live with my best friend, Heidi Shinton (that's her in the header holding up that sweet Mini Aussiedoodle baby.) She owns Ruby Sky Kennel. Po, named after Kung Fu Panda's Po, has an extremely sweet, loving and fun personality. This last winter he grew a gorgeous thick coat. His personality is very laid back and his idea of fun is chasing the other Aussies around the pond, he'll stop mid-way and then switch directions in order to 'capture is comrades by surprise! He will soon become a daddy for the first time as Piper is expecting his babies in August.

Wyatt - RETIRED Living Full Time on the Farm
Wyatt is Maybelle's son from her very first litter and he is a huge Goofy guy. His is considered a 'Mini' only because of his short legs, otherwise he is a very stout, solid and fluffy guy who lives to run around with a toy in his mouth, playing 'catch me if you can'. He loves to interact with his people and is dog family. He does have more of a super thick and fluffy 'show' coat, which requires regular grooming and trims. He is also a little tubby as he loves to eat. He is probably our most mellow aussie, as his favorite place to be is sleeping at our feet or hanging out on the front porch.

Dixie - RETIRED to a Sofa in Tennessee
DIXIE is from Aussie Possie Kennels in Fresno, CA. She is a smaller standard AKC Aussie. Dixie can be a pretty protective mama both to her babies and to her humans; and although she is a fairly high drive girl, she will choose snuggling in moms lap any day or time, for as long as she can get! She has produced several litters of amazing and gorgeous family dogs. Dixie is a one person dog. She needed more of me than I could give her now that I was spread all over the farm all day. She was starting to feel insecure and was so delighted when a 19 year old gal and her mom decided that Dixie is their heart dog.

Rosie - RETIRED to a sofa in CA with her new best friend Charlie
Rosie is a crazy, driven goof ball that loves to play, play, play... and she never stops! She and Dolly are best buddies and chase each other around the farm hours on end. Rosie being the sweet playful girl that she is decided that having babies to take care of was tying her carefree life down too much. Most of our mama's have supernatural maternal instincts and Rosie just didn't have that in her. We are excited that she is being adopted with one of her puppies! That will really make Rosie happy and give the two of them built in playmates for life.
