I just wanted to write and tell you thank you so much for sending Ernie to use, we have all fallen in love with him. He is very agreeable just as you said, very sweet to our 3 cats, even gave our Diego a kiss the first night he was here. Our girls love him to death and he plays so nicely with they,they are even rather tolerant if he gets a hold of their Webkins.I'm attaching a few pictures, him taking driving lessons with the girls and getting his first bath here.

He is quite the mud puppy, love to go down to our stream and get right in the mud, he's had a couple of baths and hosings since he got her. Ernie is getting lots of exercise with our soon to be 1 year old Aussie, Mac.And just like his brothers and sisters, he's been after the computer cords but has only managed to rip the DSL cable out of the router so we've experienced no down time. :) You really raise wonderful Aussies, keep up the amazing work. I know that we are going to have many happy years with Ernie and we are very grateful. Deb Thomas

Dear Grandma T, I just LOVE having my photo taken, I am too cute for words!

My Mom says I have been a very good boy today and that I get a new toy. I am SO happy! Love Riot

Jonathan took a couple of pictures of Cash on Saturday.  He is one cute

little puppy.  He is in the chewing stage.  :-) Talk to you soon, Kim

Nugie has his own pause table, which he likes very much. And Jenny decided that she wanted to use it, too, and get a treat. ( I'm sure she used to jump on tables at your place when you were grooming her) She also jumped some low hurdles as if to tell us that agility is no big deal and she could do as well as Nugent if she wanted to do so!

The last picture is of Nugent on his new A-frame, an apparatus that he likes to go up and down on without being asked. He is also doing a wonderful job on the weaves, but he still likes someone urging him on.

The pictures from the Colorado trip are awesome, and we are glad that Thornapple dogs did so well. Hope to see you soon. Jane and Alex G.

Just thought I would let you know that "Bear" Northbay's What Would U Do For Me owned by Kelli DeSoto of Washington State, sired by LaDew finished his ASCA title last weekend on Saturday and then Sunday picked up his second major, only leaving him 4 singles to finish.

Well I am excited to say that I just received an email from Kelli that yesterday he received his 3rd AKC major to finish his AKC title. Megan Hof has been handling him for his owner and has garnered 10pts AKC in less than a month as well as one ASCA major.

I am so proud of both Kelli and Bear and thought you'd love to know the success of one of LaDew - CH THORNAPPLE CODE RED - babies. Thank you so much again for allowing me to breed Hailee to LaDew. I will send photos as soon as Kelli sends them on to me. Heather Herron *** Northbay Aussies

Bear is a happy boy , playing constantly and ALWAYS at my side, under my feet . between my legs no matter where I am.What a lovable creature. You were right about his size, hes about 49 lbs. and I dont think he's going to be much more, which I like very much.. Our other one Bella is already 50 lbs at 7 mos. and is going to be huge. Her parents were 70 lbs

My dream of having 2 Aussies is now here and they are doing everything I thought they would and its great. We laugh constantly and couldn't have asked for a better combo. Rick Castrianni

Beautiful Bear Castrianni!

Thank you for sharing, Rick!

Thank you Alix Hsu of China for the beautiful drawing of Shamba!

I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful website you have and how LUCKY you are to have so many great friends and family and AUSSIES!We adopted our first Aussie last Fall from the Australian Shepherd Rescue in Michigan.  He actually came out of Indiana.  He was dropped at a shelter with his brother in Ft. Wayne, Indiana into a night depository. :( 

The foster family in Indiana was willing to meet us in Jackson, MI and we picked up our adorable Loki. He was approx. 9 months old at the time.  He is the BEST dog ever.  I am so thankful to have him.  He is my fitness walking buddy, and adores my 11 yr old daughter to pieces!  That is HIS kid.  He is sooo smart and willing.  I've never had a dog quite like him...even my collie...

I ended up joining the Rescue group to process applications and such just recently.  We may end up with another to keep him (and us) company. Again, you have a beautiful website, and gorgeous dogs!  My compliments to you on both!  I'll attach a couple of pics of Loki.  Thanks

Scott is at home and I'm very happy. He is a very beautiful puppy (it is the puppy of my dream). I explain you some first picture (Scott, me and is new friend my cat Morgane). Kind regard and very thanks for All. Aurore Van Der Geenst.

Congratulations Aurore on your new puppy Thornapple Ready Set Go "Scott!"
