this is the little girl who WANTS to be Piper. she was all over us....:D

aw, she looks like my zeke

silly question.... are these pups going to have long furry tails when they're full grown?

Aussies would have tails but breeders whack them off shortly after the pups are born....it's a totally stupid practice but that's what they want in the show ring. I had asked "can you NOT crop our puppy's tail?" but right when they're born no one knows which pups will be pets and which will be show dogs.

it's dumb. I don't like it. I already have guilt for not getting a rescue. oh well, Piper is going to have a fun life with us!

jammer looks very happy to have found his forever home!

He is the sweetest, happiest little guy. We've had him in the crate for the first 2 nights and we haven't heard a peep out of him. The only problem so far has been all the noise in the neighborhood we live in. We're in the city and the el train comes right through our alley and he's pretty scared of all the noise that makes. Will take some time for him to get adjusted to that...

So adorable...I'm falling in love with Piper, she is so cute!!!!!!!! Not long until she comes home with you Rob.

Shadow male- is 4.5yrs old and Daisy is 3.5yrs old.

Both LOVE to run and chase possums, we have a few possums that live in outside shed and every night our dogs go crazy at them, but the possums don't care!!!!!!! Shadow loves to chase balls, frisbees etc, but Daisy can run and run after nothing! They both love going to the beach, we are a 5 minute drive away from the beach

Aww! :x

You made it sound like she was wild and crazy climbing all over you!
THIS is the face of a puppy saying, "I've just met you and I love you. Please take me home soon and call me Piper."

awesome! congrats too Indifference71!

No tails out of their mouths...lucky for the possums, but if Shadow goes too feral barking and jumping up the wall to try and reach the roof where the possums are Daisy pulls at his tails and she gets a mouthful of fur. Rather funny to watch )

Will Piper go to puppy preschool (do they have that in the States?) or dog training? Our dogs loved dog training.

I hope so! We can get progress reports, as Piper trains Rob. )

Herding dogs really love to train. They need something to do. As a friend of mine says, "Give that dog a job!"

So true Shadow doesn't like coming inside to go to bed until he's tried to round up the possums!!!

oh, yes....piper will go to puppy kindergarten. If nothing else, she can get a perfect attendance award (like gracie) and become socialized. socialization is about all gracie learned....but she learned that very well.

Jammer is stating to get more and more comfortable around here...finally started laying in his dog bed. And is a little bit less afraid of the el going by everyday. Such a good dog so far.

Jammer looks very content and happy. He looks like he owns his family.....apparently with dogs that's the way it is, it seems like we pander to their every need....the pat me pat me look, the I need to chase something look and the I'm hungry look!!! They are such beautiful loving animals live wouldn't become same without them.

My son is loving these photos of Jammer and of course Piper. Piper running in the wind so cute.

I can't believe how much hair I brushed out of my Lab. I know it's spring time, but it's crazy.She looks like a different color so much came off.
Jammer looks pretty comfy in his new home........
