Our last boy left is Hudson. He takes a minute to warm up to new people but once he has hes super playful and busy. Hes a real fast learner, this morning we worked on "sit, throw, retrieve, drop, good boy" he plays fetch so well. Hes great at sitting when asked, goes up and down flights of stairs and he is crate trained so will love to have a crate for the night or daily naps. He pretty well understands "uh uh uh drrrooop it" when he has something he shouldnt. Hes up to date on worming and vaccines, he passed his vet check in all areas. Hes raised in our home with us, children, cats and is around our adult do.gs as well. Over the next week ill be bringing his to spend work days with me and my clients so he gets more comfortable with random new faces. Message if interested in this guy.

Oh my goodness. Wait until you see our post later tonight. I just got back from a 48hr trip away and I was amazed at how much these babies have grown. Photos to come later! Gunnison got so big I was shocked at what 2 days away will make stand out to you.

Vet day went amazing! Vets said all puppies passed all tests for what they look for and that all the pups look healthy and very well socialized. We hear that last part every litter and what else would you expect with how much hands on time they get between myself and the kids. Tonight they move from a crate with a buddy to individual crates to help prepare them for being crated alone in their new home.


Loxley and Kyanite's litter

Heather H.
Growing like weeds. The girls have both found their forever homes. We have 5 boys left from this litter at the moment. Rio is the most gentle, Hudson is busy and curious he has gorgeous markings, rouge is busy until he clunks from exhaustion looks like a little bear, Cimarron is a big goofy fluff ball, Gunnison is a sweet boy watching his transition from timid to loving and curious had been the best he's a fun little pup.

We do have an option we can use to ship our puppies to you. They stay in cabin on commercial airlines with their own dedicated nanny and get delivered to your local airport for pick up. Youll meet face to face with the person whos traveled with your pup. (A much better alternative to cargo shipping where your pup is alone under the plane and stuck is a zip locked crate until owner collects them at pick up stations. )They set all their own pricing and give instant quote ranges! Its not cheap but neither is shipping cargo or getting a ground transport which puts way too much stress on puppies. For long travels that your using a service for delivery we will only use a flight nanny- no cargo, no ground transport (unless picked up by the new owner thenselves of course).

Ruby is placed but the others are available. Ask for our contract that you'll sign upon pick up!

Heather H.
Kyanites litter has grown so much. They all are coming into their own litter personalities and those who were reserved have come out of their little shells. All are exploring and love to be picked up and try licking you in the face 😋 they learned how to get out of their kitchen play area barricade so when its play time they get free range of the house. Its always fun to go puppy seeking and find where each has hidden to fall asleep when its time to go back into their own little contained space. If you had a pup you were interested in nows the time to ask for a copy of what pur contract looks like and to make a deposit if you'd like to reserve a specific pup. We do meet ups in Oakland Maine on Monday and Wednesday nights and Farmington Maine on Monday and Thursday nights. Solon, Maine we offer weekend or night pick ups on Tuesdays/Fridays depending on our work schedule. Steps to follow... Ask for a copy of the contract to be sure you agree with it. Plan a pick up date that works for both buyer and seller. Place a deposit half down to secure your pup. Pick up and pay final payment due upon seeing your pup! Thats all. We'll continue loving on your puppies for you all and feel free to reach out with any questions.

About Loxley
My absolute favorite dog. His disposition is wonderful, he's very playful, happy and excitable but he can come down quick from his excitement in a millisecond to follow any command. He's a very well tempered and mannered dog. He loves people and loves to play with children. Super friendly not a shy bone in him. Wonderful match for any female we choose to breed him with. Jackpot pup!

About Kyanite
Kyanite is extremely high energy, she's real quick like a whip, she enjoys being out in the pasture herding our cows and goats. We do not train our dogs to herd its clearly just very instinctual for her to do so. Quite helpful when the goat herd gets out loose! She loves people and is the complete definition of a wiggle butt it never stops. If she's not out bothering the farm animals she's at your feet shaking her butt. She's the smallest of our females but has a solid strong stature. She's a very human social dog and will accept love from anyone!

About Rajah
Hands down my favorite female we have. She's very loyal to her family, and has been a wonderful mother, she certainly has more of a guard dog behavior amd will alert us of people at the house but she's the first one to choose lounging around the house and laying at my feet vs playing outside. Not looking for attention just wanting to be close by. She's the biggest of our females and is a low energy aussie most times but can get quite playful with her pup babies until she tells them enough and she goes to lay in her crate.

Heather was absolutely amazing in communication from the start to finish. We were able to drive up to pick up Rio (now Cosmo) the day after finding his listing on gooddog and reaching out. Her love of the breed and her pups is evident in how well taken care of he was, and how well he behaves. It's an amazing help that she has the puppies play with her family and that she crate trains them before they go home. Rio has been a great addition to our family and we absolutely adore him.

Heather was so amazing to work with and sent many updates on how puppies are doing . Very informative on the breed. I especially loved the fact that she had the puppies interact with her family and children. Had them crate trained before going to their forever homes. Kenai definitely felt at home when she arrived and sleeps all night . Heather was also helpful for options to deliver Kenai. I would've never heard of pet nanny to fly with her to us. And that was amazing and less stressful on the puppy . Thank you Heather and your family for raising such beautiful pups. We love our Kenai so much

Within 5 minutes of seeing Gibson's picture and writing to Heather, she responded immediately, answered all our questions. Heather is very knowledgeable and I felt very comfortable going through the website. I am sure I will see her again as Gibson has truly proved to be a blessing for all of us!

Heather is amazing! Not only did I get the cutest, most loving pup ever, but also was kind enough to include toys, blanket, food. I traveled quite a bit, but she was very accommodating with my schedule as well.

Heather was an absolute pleasure to work with. You can tell she not only deeply cares about her dogs but is very well educated in all things Aussies! Heather kept me updated with lots of pictures and messages before our sweet girl came home which was amazing, and still acts as a resource to me for any Aussie related questions!

First of all, we absolutely LOVE Wiley (aka Iris). She is adorable, sweet, very energetic, funny and very smart. Working with Heather was wonderful. Very easy, very communicative, and beyond all, she raises amazing dogs. The reason i picked Heather was because of her description of the puppy parents and I have to say, she is spot on. WILEY is seriously the cutest craziest sweetest puppy ever. We love her so much!
