"Raised Underfoot With Kids and Cats"
Litter Born July 20th!
 |
 |
I am SO excited about this litter! These puppies should have it all, bubbly, outgoing temperaments, the energy and drive for agility, herding, etc., the conformation for the show ring, but most importantly, the loving, velcro dog temperament Aussies are known for. Both Blitz and Carny would gladly spend their days cuddling in my lap (that is, when Blitz isn't running circles around the moon!).
Proud Mommy
Please remember that this is a 'STANDARD' litter of AKC registered Aussies, NOT minis! While I hope that they will be on the smaller side, 18 - 20 inches, I can't guarantee it.

We decided to name these pups after punctuation marks. I've always thought Ampersand and Tilde were neat words, and my son Travis thought Underscore would be a cool name (okay, we're weird, get used to it! ;~D).
The puppies just finished their first week of living outside. They've had a blast! Grubbing in the dirt, swimming in the water dish, barking at the parakeets in the aviary, playing hide and seek in the crates, all in all having the time of their lives! They display their zest for life in the pictures below.

Here they are:
Comma ( , )

AVAILABLE
This is Comma .
He's also known as 'Comma the Cow', and 'Comma Chameleon'.
He's such a sweetie pie! He's what I call 'middle of the road', not overly quiet, but not overly busy, either.
Ampersand (&)

This is Ampersand (Sandy), now Luke. He's got quite a little personality!
Bracket ( [ )
 |
He was wrestling with Savannah ;~D |
RESERVED
This is Bracket, now Hayden.
He's a busy little boy, so it's good he's going to a busy home. He's going to run his uncle Diesel ragged!
Elipse (.....)
He's trying one of those Russian Cossack dances.... |
Okay, now it's the Can Can |
RESERVED
This is Elipse. He's such a lover dumpling!
Hyphen ( - )

This is Hyphen, now Kona. She has a nice blend of 'sugar & spice'. She's sweet, but has spunk to her as well.
Tilde (~)
 |
 |
RESERVED
This is Tilde, the blue merle girl. She's turning into a little pill.
Her new name is Dizzy, after Dizzy Gillespie. Watching her antics is enough to make you dizzy! She's going to live with her cousin Kiah in Canada!
Umlaut

Umlaut (as in ö), is now Cooper. He's such a nut! He's always making us laugh.
Underscore ( _ )

Eager to attack the slicker brush! |

Underscore, now 'Daddy', is blossoming into a little booger.
Fun Pics
Hayden's taking this 'raw food diet' to all new heights!
Hayden heard he's going to be a show dog, so he figured he'd better practice being gorgeous. |
How am I doing, Mommy? |

What do you get with a Bonza puppy? First off, a lot of this:
Puppies are raised in our home until they're 5 - 6 weeks old, and are then moved to our yard, where they have free run of half of the yard. This way they learn to potty along the outskirts of the yard, keeping their play area clean. This makes house training a breeze. They sleep in crates (with the doors removed), on our covered patio, so they're already familiar with crates before going to their new homes.
