Where's My Din Din asks Finn?
Finn is still doing great! He's discovered many new things...he likes chasing lazer pointers, he likes water
(he had a bath today and was romping around in the tub), his crate is a nice place to go, etc. He's really doing wonderfully!
He's learning how to get our attention if he needs to go out. He's learned his first command...sit...and doesn't hesitate when
we ask him to. He's learning shake right now. We've gone out on some short walks and he's learning to not try to walk under my feet! :)
~Danielle Breisach Thank you for sharing Danielle! Finn is a perfect  baby boy!
Finn is sired by Ch Thornapple King Of Diamonds. His dam is Ch Thornapple Ooo La La.




Chance
I'm so sorry I didn't send you an update sooner. It was on my list of things to do, but the little booger has been keeping me busy.
You were wrong when you told me he was an amazing boy...he's an AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING boy.
The long trip up there and back was well worth it!!! Don't let the attached pictures fool you. He's a real bundle of Aussie energy and when
he kicks it in high gear he's as fast as lightening. You should have seen the stunned look on my nephews face when he blew right past him.
Sad thing Mike is 16, almost 6 feet tall, plays soccer and is on the HS track team. He never expected a 12 week pup to be so fast.
He's name is Thornapple Take A Chance "CHANCE".
I'm in total disbelief on how smart this guy is. It's UNBELIEEEEEEEEEEEEVABLE!!! He's starting puppy class on April 30th, but I've already
been working with him. Chance's vocabulary is increasing by the day. Sit, wait, down, leave it, do your stuff, lets go, give, bring it, out, settle
and not to mention NO MOUTH and of course NOOOOOOOOO :) He's even gone to the door a few times to let me know when he has to go out
to do his stuff. He is like a sponge. You only have to show him something a few times and he's got it already. UNBELIEEEEEEEEEEEEVABLE!!!
I'm totally floored by how smart he is. Chance is differently going to be a challenge, but I wouldn't want it any other way. One minute he can be
a handful and the next he goes and does something totally AMAZING. It blows me away. With some good training and lots and lots of TLC this
young pup is going to be one outstanding Aussie. I have a feeling Chance is going to be doing many great things in his lifetime. He's backyard
my be his play pen, but the WORLD is going to be his playground. Look forward to keeping you up to date on Chance's progress and adventures.
Thanks for bringing this AMAZING boy into my life. He's certainly added a much needed spark.
One more thing...he no longer considers my sofa a spring board :) Take care. Sandy
AMAZING UPDATE ... THANK YOU for loving Chance, Sandy!
Sandy is sired by Ch Thornapple Red Hot Outlaw. His dam is Ch Thornapple Island Kiss.

Chance & best friend!
My mom says ... don't let the photos fool you!

    
Anna-Lena shares photos of her pick puppy sired by Ch Thornapple Code Red. His dam is Ch Thornapple Kiddie Cocktail.
He resides with Easy Aussies -- Niklas & Anna-Lena Munkvall in Sweden.
