Maybelle
MAYBELLE is our resident 'Diva'. She runs the roost and is spoiled like you wouldn't believe! She is our signature foundation Aussie, with an independent streak, but always silly! She is a recessive carrier of a single MDR1 gene and she is not bred with any other dogs that are carriers.

Willow
WILLOW is one of our residents since birth, mild-mannered, sweet as can be. She's from Maybelle & Durango! She does not demand attention, always listens and is more than willing to wait her turn. When it's snuggle time, she's all in! She has a full, gorgeous, copper accented tail.

Dixie
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.

Freckles
FRECKLES is our little goof ball or 'class clown'. Her antics can entertain us for hours. She gets along with everyone and any dog, although definitely shy with new people she doesn't know. She is a super soft and silky, Black/White Bi (no copper.) We just LOVE her super soft and silky coat, along with her easy, sweet demeaner.

Sofie
SOFIE is a daughter of Reba and Wyatt. She is a phantom Blue Merle Dilute (resulting in the silver sheen to her fur.) She LOVES the snow, is best friends with Po & Piper, extremely well mannered and loves to snuggle. She also likes to stay close and be our sidekick. She is still a puppy but we look forward to watching her mature into a beautiful young lady.

Shiloh
SHILOH is quickly becoming our farm mascot as she is side-by-side with Lando, our Guardian Dog, to greet all visitors driving down our driveway. Yes, sometimes she tries to get run over, so if you visit our farm please be careful! She is deathly afraid of thunder storms and prefers to be curled in our laps until it's gone, even if she is sopping wet from playing out in the rain. Shiloh is a smaller standard Aussie born & bred right here in Kentucky. We got her from a breeder that didn't want to breed any more, they got her from someone else a few months before we got her, so we don't know much about her first 2 years of life. We will make sure the rest of her life is exactly as she would want it herding loose goats and living the farm life!

Content Strategist
Reba
REBA is the master of her own world. She is a free spirit that loves to climb any boundary and explores the world around her with abandon. She is incredibly self-reliant, but she always comes back for her love and her food! She is one of the sweetest dogs we own, loving all people and animals; however, she can become quite the mama bear when 'protecting' her babies.

Patsy
PATSY, the Standard Poodle Puppy, is just a lovebug that loves anyone and everyone. Her favorite thing is to bury her head in your lap and receive endless head scratches. 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! Being a white poodle, not the best color for living in the country, she actually 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

Daisy
Daisy is an adorable Aussiedoodle. We rescued Daisy from a bad situation and she came to us traumatized. However, several months of freedom on the farm and unconditional love in a safe, secure environment and she is absolutely one of the best dogs we have. We are beyond blessed to have Daisy in our lives!

UPS Delivery Driver
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!

Po
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
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.

Bark Patrol
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!

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:).
