Look at Jimmy all grown up! Oh my he has the best life….a recent note from his family….”Hi! Just wanted to send you some recent photos of Jimmy. He is the most amazing dog and we are so grateful to have found you (and him). He gets daily walks to the river, loves quad rides and generally doesn't leave my side 😉”

Jimmy is 29.5lbs.

I am hoping my other puppy families from the Nov 2023 litter can comment here and share photos and weights please! Or send to me and I will post. Thanks!

Fun puppy play date at the Hart Dog Park! We missed you Cedar!

Deohge was a bit protective of the pups I think. Seemed to want to keep other dogs away from our group.

Maisy (aka JD) and Piranha (aka Bulliet) are both beautiful! So great to see them.

I should have posted back in March that Johnny did finally go to his forever home!

Congratulations to Rachel and Cash. I was very sad for him to go but know for sure that he is exactly where he needs to be! He is doing great and loves his new family.

I can’t believe the pups are over 5 months old.

What to do about Johnny?!? Oh my how I love this pup. I cried many tears when Bulleit left at 14 weeks. Can I let Johnny go too? He is so cuddly and loves to just sleep by my chair for hours. He knows his name and comes whenever I call him. I need a super good home for this special sweet boy that has stolen my heart. I would like someone I know to have him. I am travelling to Nanaimo on Friday so please let me know if you have been dreaming about a puppy with a great foundation of training.

Bulleit is now named Hershey! He finally found his forever home last week and has made several new friends including Coconut the rabbit and Bullet the cat! Congratulations to Hershey’s new family. I feel confident that he is in good hands and will be well loved but it was really hard to let him go.

Did you ever want a puppy but didn't have time for the first most essential 16 weeks of training? Bulleit and Johnny are well on their way to being well-trained pups. These pups come with a great foundation and also additional training support to ensure that they are settled into their new homes.

Training Milestones Achieved @ 12 weeks:
1. Sleeping in crates at night with the door closed.
2. Sometimes asking to go outside for the bathroom. Working great on a schedule of going out every 2 to 3 hours and more frequent after mealtime.
3. Comfortable on a leash and beginning to learn heel.
4. Exposed to lots of situations including riding in the car, going into stores and visiting a high school class.
5. Know the sit command really well and will sit when excited to get out of their x-pen.
6. Have a very gentle mouth when playing and taking treats.
7. Come when name is called most of the time.
8. Staying close to me when on walks out in the yard off leash.

Training underway:
1. Heeling while on leash.
2. Consistent recall when called.
3. Socialization to new scenarios and other dogs.
4. Down command - currently they are easily lured into down but not yet doing it without lure.
5. Quiet command - they do bark when excited, when new people arrive at the home and in the morning when they are still in their pen and everyone is starting to get up in the household.

They have been raised in our home with a lot of handling and loving care. They are a herding breed that needs their daily exercise and companionship but they are capable of being super chill when their needs are met. If you are active and need a sidekick this is the dog for you! Typically a mini aussie shepard has a life span of 12 to 15 years - the Koolie averages 18 years making this cross your companion for many years to come. The Koolie is descended from breeding with the Australian Dingo making the Koolie a very durable and hardy breed.

Mother - Sadie is a Purebred Australian Koolie born in Australia from Hunterslea Koolies.
Father - Whiskey is a Purebred Registered Mini Australian Shepard from Soul Ridge Farm

These pups will be small medium sized dogs about 25 to 35 lbs - both parents under 16.5” at the front shoulder. They are well suited as active family dogs, for dog sports, tricks/obedience, and working stock. Both the Koolie and the Mini Australian Shepherd are intelligent loyal dogs who enjoy a variety of outdoor activities and love to be with their people. They are easily trained and benefit from basic obedience training, socialization, and daily exercise/activity. With the right training they are also suitable as therapy dogs and love to please people. Sadie (mom) loves to visit at the senior’s home and is a level 2 trained therapy dog. Despite her love of running when she is outdoors she is calm when indoors - a trait common to the Koolie breed.

Puppies come with 1st and 2nd vaccines, microchip, deworming and a puppy pack including transition food, blanket with mom’s scent, chew toys (nyla bone and kong), collar and leash. They are raised in our home with lots of family interaction and other pets around. All potential buyers will be screened and homes must be approved prior to receiving your puppy. References may be requested. Delivery may also be possible.

Congratulation to Jimmy’s family! I missed posting and am grateful for all the new photos. Looks like he has settled right in and is well loved. Apparently he loves riding on the quad!

Bulleit and Johnny have taken up sleeping beside my chair while I work! Getting really attached to these two boys and wish I could keep them. Bulleit especially wants to follow me everywhere when we are outside while Johnny prefers to play with the frisbee with Deohge and follow the other dogs around. They are both coming to their names and were very attentive to me when visiting the high school class on Friday. They have slept 3 nights in a row with the crate door closed and car trips are a breeze. Bulleit is a bit slower to adjust to new places but they are both getting lots of different exposures. Most of the new puppy work is complete. These boys have a great foundation to build on.

I work from home and usually take my 4 dogs and the 2 pups out for a run every 3 or 4 hours. Johnny and Bulleit love to sleep on the floor beside me after being outside. Oh their sweet eyes….I love them so much!

These two boys are winning my heart! ❤️
