The Girls
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.

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 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. 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. However, we will make sure the rest of her life is exactly as she would want it herding loose goats and living the farm life!

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!

Mollie
Mollie came to us as a 2 yr old momma. We adopted her along with 2 of her 8 week old puppies, Daphne & Duke. We were told she was picked on by her more aggressive sister and the breeder was worried about her safety. She is a Standard Size Aussie. She weighed about 35lbs when we got her in the Spring of '23 and by June '23 she weighed 50lbs. It turns out that she LOVES to eat and we thought maybe she was starved when we got her so we FED her. Now she is a plump, happy momma that loves to give LOVE.

Jill's Dad
Jill
Jill came to us from Ohio at 9 mol old. We rescued Jill from a breeder that was desperate to find her a home. She lived with the younger puppies for 9 mo, so she didn't learn to grow up until she could run here on the farm with our other dogs. When we got her, her hair was overgrown and tangled. We couldn't even see her sweet face. Our favorite hair style on her is the one above as the fluffy puppy cut fits her sweet, docile personality perfectly.

Makenna
We found Makenna with an Amish couple up in Northern Ohio. We adopted her and her brother from their life in a small kennel run. She was 2 years old when we got them and Makenna just blossomed after a few weeks of love and future. It was a little bit of culture shock for the two of them but this little sweet heart has the sweetest spirit and never barks, unless another dog is getting to close to her puppies!
Color: Blue Merle Parti, Blue Eyes
Height: 10" Weight: 8lbs.

Roxy
We found Roxy shortly after brining home our sweet Oliver boy! Oliver needed a sweet female friend, right? She was born in Tennessee and thinks she is the royal princess even more than our matriarch, Maybelle. Her favorite activity is systematically undergoing complex maneuvers to remove the squeaky in every toy without destroying the toy. She then proceeds to chew up that squeaker into a million little pieces. If I'm feeling down, she'll come up and jump up next to me, then burrow her little head against my chest. Pillows on the couch? Just look underneath them to find Roxy playing underneath. If she is not playing under them, she is laying on top of one.

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!
Color: Black Parti w/ticking, Brown Eyes
Height: 15" Weight: 25lbs

Neg. Carrier: IVDD (not an issue when bred with an Aussie for Aussiedoodles
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:).

Jack - RETIRED to a Sofa in Kentucky
Jack has a gorgeous Red Merle coat and a fun bouncy personality. He’s confident, adventurous, always happy, loves to give kisses, and is enthusiastic in his zest for farm frolicking. If something you’re working with (tools, gloves, hat, bag, etc.) disappears and is missing when you turn around to grab it, then go hunt down Jack and see where he moved it too!

Oliver - This sweet boy has crossed the Rainbow Bridge
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 was fearless and loved to chase the neighbor's cows off our property when they break through the fences.

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.
