Litter and program updates
Katy Joy L.
Litter update on 26 Oct •…Good afternoon to all our Forever families! If you would like to start gluing your Aussie’s ears down there are a couple ways to accomplish that. This is a 2 person job. One to hold and one to glue. When they are teething it can make their ears go wonky sometimes resulting in them sticking straight up or half up. If you want to make sure they 100% stay in a button ear set which is what you might see on a typical show Aussie then you will need to glue them down onto the cheek area. This does not hurt your dog. This of course is just a personal preference and doesn’t hurt the dog either way. We have Aussies with rose ear set which is also correct as well as one with them half up. Gluing their ears does not harm the dog and there are a couple ways I recommend. I use Tear Mender glue which is a rubber based fabric glue. This glue is a cream color. It holds very well but more difficult to get off with baby oil, most of time the hair grows out and you do it again. If it comes unglued, just glue it again on top of the other glue. https://a.co/d/0ihYRSem This is another glue I discovered but it doesn’t hold as well. But it also comes off easier. It is also black so definitely I would use on a Black Tri. https://a.co/d/0f50XyZt Your choice. Here are 2 videos that show different ways you can glue the ear down. 1. I use this method. https://youtu.be/zRS3vC5o4wU (https://youtu.be/zRS3vC5o4wU) 2. This might be easier for those unsure where to glue on cheek. https://youtu.be/PiqDLcg7x7M (https://youtu.be/PiqDLcg7x7M) Regards, Katy

Katie made the process of picking and purchasing our sweet puppy, Koda, an efficient and easy one. I can tell Koda was very cared for and loved. Katie updated us with weekly videos/pictures prior to us bringing Koda home and allowed as many visitations as we wished. Katie answered all our questions quickly and efficiently. She really cares for all her puppies health, happiness and well being. Koda was crate trained with Katie prior to us bringing her home and the same crate was given to us for a smooth and happy transition. Koda loves her crate and sleeps great at night! A bonus was Katie sent us home with several quality dog toys that Koda was familiar with and gravitated towards. We appreciate all the love that was given to Koda prior to us bringing her home and will be forever grateful for Katie, Lady Luck Aussies.
