🚨 Meet Marco! 🚨 This smart, eager pup is searching for his perfect co-own home 🏡. Marco is a superstar 🌟—he sleeps quietly through the night in his crate, goes in like a champ for meals 🍽️, and is potty trained as long as he’s taken out appropriately 🚪🐾.

He’s ready to shine with someone who wants to dive into the world of dog sports! 🐕💨 Whether it’s agility, rally, obedience, conformation, dock diving, or scent work—Marco’s your guy. He’d love a partner who’s excited to train, compete, and have a blast doing it 🏆🎉.

Like Mother, Like Daughter 🐾✨

Cersei (top) and Hops (bottom) both flying through the air with determination and style! I’m so looking forward to everything the future holds. Watching Hops follow in her mother’s pawprints is truly special, and I can’t wait to see how she continues to shine!

✨ The Folk Games Boys: Pickle’s Next Big Adventure! ✨

Our boy Pickle has been set off on his exciting journey for a few weeks now, and we couldn’t be more thrilled! 🫶🏼 Not only is he keeping his adorable name (yay for our first puppy to do so that we haven’t kept!), but he’ll also be making memories with his new family under his registered name, Ausdauer’s In A Pickle. He’s been settling in great at his new home, just like I knew he would.

From exploring scentwork to (hopefully!) circling his way through the conformation ring, Pickle has so much ahead. We’re so proud of him and beyond excited to see all he accomplishes with his amazing family by his side.

Here’s to Pickle, his loving family, and all the incredible adventures awaiting them! 🌟

🌟 Hops Makes a Splash at the ASCA National Specialty!
Ausdauer’s Hazy Little Thing LC-N BCAT —our very own Hops—earned her LD-N (Launch Deluxe Novice) title in spectacular style at the 50th ASCA National Specialty in Grand Island, Nebraska!

With a new personal best of 15’ 6” on the first day and another personal best of 16’ 3” on the second day, she not only exceeded our expectations but also earned first place and additional placements, and qualified for the bonus round! It was only her second time competing on a mobile dock, her first time at an event this big, and she performed better than I could have ever asked. 💙

On top of it all, she got plenty of compliments on how stinkin’ cute she is—which just made my heart so happy! 🥰 Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it. Way to go, Hops!

Stash is Looking for Her Perfect Forever Home

Stash, our spirited and unique girl, is tentatively available for a very special match. She has some specific needs to ensure her new home is just right for her.

About Stash:

• Energy & Drive: She has an intense ball and fetch drive and would thrive with someone who enjoys interactive play. She knows several commands, including sit, down, and “about” (to circle around your legs for another round of fetch).
• Personality: Stash is deeply loyal and dependent on her person. She needs a calm, predictable environment to help her feel secure.
• No Children: After a few scary experiences, Stash would be happiest in a home without children. She would do best with a single woman or a couple who understand her sensitivities.
• Privacy & Space: Due to some boundary reactivity created by my neighbors dogs, Stash would do best in a home where she doesn’t share a fence line with neighbors’ dogs.

• She’s already spayed, so this placement is for a non-breeding, companion-pet only home.

If you think you might be the right match for Stash and can provide a structured, calm environment, please reach out. We’d love to talk about her needs and see if she could be the perfect fit for you! You will have to come meet her, first, and then secondly, take her on a trial basis.

I’m not the breeder who needs you to shout my name from the rooftops or tag me in every post. I don’t need public validation or unwavering support. My puppies and dogs speak for themselves, and all I ask is for you to trust me and love your dog wholeheartedly. I’m here to support you and your dog in any way I can, without being overbearing or trying to control every aspect of your journey.

Life happens, and eventually, things will go wrong. When they do, know that I am still here, committed to both of you. I pour my heart and soul into each breeding, meticulously planning and hoping to create the best dogs possible. But there are no perfect dogs, and as a breeder, I can’t predict the future—though sometimes I wish I could. Being labeled as a “bad breeder” is one of my greatest fears, especially if I am blamed for something beyond my control.

The internet can make it easy to believe that any issue you see in your dog is genetic. For example, one of my own dogs had a leg injury. When I asked her surgeon if it was genetic, he said there might be a genetic factor. Yet this injury has never been seen in her pedigree, despite that line being bred and cross repeated multiple times. She was just the unlucky one, with a random injury. Jumping off a 6+ foot staircase at full speed onto solid ground probably had more to do with it than anything genetic.

Sometimes things happen that are truly outside our control, and I know that no Google search will ever cover all the complexities involved. As pet owners, we do our best, but sometimes things go wrong even with the best care and management. Just as I don’t blame owners for unexpected issues, I hope for the same understanding on my end.

We’re all learning, growing, and caring deeply for these dogs. Blame doesn’t help anyone; it’s our shared dedication and love for these dogs that matters most.

Why I Don’t Stress About Puppy Placements

I’ve learned not to rush the process of placing puppies. Finding the perfect match is about so much more than who inquires first or who’s ready to put down a deposit. In fact, Pickle could have gone to a new home (or a few, actually) a month ago, but I turned down several homes that weren’t the right fit—not because of the puppy, but because I trust my instincts as a breeder.

Each puppy deserves a home that’s the perfect match, not just for them but also for me as the breeder. When I’ve felt pressured or rushed into a placement, it hasn’t worked out well, and that speaks volumes. I believe that when the right family comes along, everything falls into place exactly how it’s meant to.

I’m proud to say that every puppy I’ve placed has found their ideal home, and I’ve built lifelong relationships with the incredible owners who love and care for them. It’s always worth waiting for the perfect match, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Looking for a Co-Ownership Performance Home for Marco!

Meet Marco—a fun, confident boy from our Folk Games litter who is looking for a dedicated performance home under a co-ownership agreement. Marco is everything you’d want in a future performance prospect—he’s got fantastic food drive, a love for toys, and just the right amount of spice. His zest for life is contagious, and he’s ready to channel that energy into a variety of activities!

We believe Marco has real potential for conformation and performance sports, which is why we’re looking for a co-ownership home within a few hours of us. We’d love to show him in conformation, and if he turns out as we hope, we’d look to collect him for future breeding. If not, he can be neutered, and we’d happily sign off on full ownership.

Marco is smart, driven, and always up for a challenge, making him an ideal partner for anyone interested in agility, rally, dock diving, or other performance sports. He needs a home experienced with high-drive dogs and ready to provide him with the mental and physical stimulation he thrives on.

If you’re interested in teaming up with us and giving Marco the home he deserves, let’s chat!

We’re home from the 2024 ASCA National, and wow, what an incredible experience! So many firsts—my first ASCA National, my husband’s first, my first time as the National Dock Jumping Chair, and my first time in Nebraska. The ASCA community was amazing—everyone was so kind, patient, and supportive of us.

I didn’t get to show in everything I’d entered, but I did compete in dock jumping with Hops, who wrapped up her heat cycle just in time! We had some bumps along the way—like the puppies developing skin irritations and needing a vet visit in Grand Island (thank you, husband!). But in the end, it all came together.

Of course, there were plenty of hiccups. From hunting down enough high-pressure hose to reach the pool to freezing temps in the mornings (open dock was brutal!) and high winds, there was no shortage of challenges. Thankfully, the competition days warmed up into the 70s, which was much more tolerable! I also only got to watch about half a day of conformation—everything else was just tiny snippets between figuring out on-site logistics or running to another town to pick up admin stuff.

Pickle is now on his way to his new home on the east coast, thanks to a good friend transporting him. It’s bittersweet, but I’m excited for him to start his new journey!

I have another update coming soon about Nationals! I think Hops might’ve earned a new title (although I’m not 100% sure, as my focus was solely on running dock and making sure things went smoothly!). But she did earn a new personal best off the dock both days—unless I’m still in some weird fever dream! Once I’ve unpacked and rechecked everything, I’ll share more details, and hopefully, her new dock photos will be ready by then. I really wanted to do one of my portrait photoshoots of her on the grounds, but time got away from me, and I didn’t even have the chance to fully groom her.

Looking forward to sharing more once everything settles down!

The Folk Games Boys: My Last Pickle Photoshoot 💚

It feels surreal to say this, but Pickle is finally sold. Just typing that makes me want to cry. I’ve adored this puppy from the start, and if I could keep them all, keeping him would’ve never even been a question.

Pickle craves attention – mine, his new owners’, and he’s absolutely deserving of it. But keeping him alongside the others I’m committed to raising right now just wouldn’t have been fair to him. He needs a place where he can be the center of someone’s world, and he’s found that in his new home.

I have no doubts he’s going to a wonderful family, and he will do amazing things. But as always, I worry, because I care so much. Pickle embarks on his new adventure this Saturday, and I couldn’t be more proud of him.

Best of luck, sweet boy 💚. You’re going to do incredible things!

OKAY STOP!! 🥹🤍
I’m at the National but had to share this (sorry I’m saving and uploading from my phone). Marni had a photoshoot. Aren’t her and her mom Corinne Wengelewski-Batterman the cutest?!

Pickle! Hanging out at the 2024 ASCA National!
He’s taking it all in stride and such a good puppy.
Surely someone will find his face irresistible and sn**ch him from me 🤣🤣

Pickle is coming along with us to the ASCA National in Nebraska! While there, it will be easy to find him transport across the country.

Introducing Riff - Ausdauer’s Off The Cuff

He was Rover from the Folk Games litter. My intentional keeper (yes, Marco and Pickle are still here and looking for their homes). Im keeping it short and sweet as I’m getting ready to leave Thursday morning for ASCA National, where I’ll be running the dock!

Pickle! 💙🏓

At 11 weeks old, this sweet and playful boy is ready to find his forever home and start creating that special bond with his favorite person. Pickle is full of personality and charm, with a fun-loving spirit and a soft, snuggly side. Whether it’s playing with toys or curling up for cuddles, he’s eager to share his world with someone who’s ready for a loyal companion. If you’re looking for a loving pup to be part of your family, Pickle might be the perfect match!

Located in Desloge MO but am traveling to our national this week in Nebraska where we can find him transport to likely anywhere!

🐾 The Folk Games Boys: Tango’s New Journey Begins 🐾

Limbo, now known as Tango, Ausdauer’s Bend The Rules, is off to a fantastic start in his new home! He’s already formed a special bond with his new young girl best friend 👧🐾 and did great overnight, only waking around 6:30AM to let them know he needed to go outside 🌅.

This morning, he’s been having a blast playing with his big brother Whiskey 🐶, who’s also from me—and even his half-brother! We’re so excited that this wonderful family has welcomed another Ausdauer dog into their lives 🏡🐾. Seeing Tango and Whiskey play and bond is just heartwarming 💕, and I know they’re going to be the perfect pair! 🎉

Thank you and best of luck to The Herren Family!

Pickle! 🐾

This sweet boy is looking for his perfect home! Pickle is a smart, serious, but snuggly pup with a great mix of toy and food drive. 🎾 He’s eager to learn and loves to stay busy, but he also has a softer, cuddly side that makes him the best of both worlds. 💙

Pickle has been raised with Puppy Culture, ENS, and ESI, so he’s had plenty of socialization and exposure to different people, dogs, sounds, and experiences. He’s ready to thrive in a performance home or with an active companion who will appreciate his inquisitive nature and zest for life. 🏡

With parents fully health tested and Pickle himself vet-checked, microchipped, and mostly potty trained, he’s set for success. He comes with a health guarantee and lifetime support from me as his breeder.

Could Pickle be your next adventure buddy? 🐶✨

*Transport is available to Nebraska, Kansas, Maine, and almost anywhere else in the Northeast, and more states also possible.

Pickle! 🐾 This boy is such a blast! 🎉 I haven’t entered any of the preshows since I’ve been busy figuring out the logistics for the dock.

He’s still here and looking for his forever home! 🏡❤️ #AvailableDog #ForeverHomeNeeded #PickleTheAussie #FunBoy #DockDivingLife

Pickle & Marco Playing: Saucer Swing

🌟 Puppy Development on the Saucer Swing!🌟 At Ausdauer, our puppies are getting valuable experience on the hanging, moving saucer swing. Here’s why it’s so important: •Balance & Coordination: The swing helps puppies develop essential physical skills as they navigate the wobbly surface. •Confidence: Tackling the swing boosts their confidence, preparing them to face new challenges. •Problem-Solving: The puppies learn to think through how to stabilize themselves—a key mental skill. •Sensory Exposure: The motion desensitizes them to different surfaces, making them more adaptable. •Social Interaction: When shared, the swing enhances their social skills with littermates. These activities are part of our commitment to raising well-rounded, confident dogs ready for their future homes. 🐾

Sleepy Boys! 💤 These little champs have been handling vacuum sounds like pros! 🧹 I've been vacuuming with them in the room, and they've taken it all in stride. They've also been introduced to the dremel sound the past two days and haven't batted an eye. Today, they experienced the hair dryer on a low setting—both the noise and a gentle blow across their backs. Plus, we did “sponge baths” this morning after their meal. Early exposure to grooming is key! 🛁 Once the puppies hit 4 weeks, we’ll start the full bath and grooming process at least once a week (usually more because puppies love to get dirty). This is to set them up for success, even though we only have them for a short period. Weekly grooming is essential: brushing with a comb to get down to the skin and trimming nails. This routine should continue after they go to their new homes—it's necessary and makes life easier in the long run, avoiding any grooming battles. ✂️ Stay tuned: They might outgrow this box by the end of the week, and if they do, we'll make it bigger! I'm also planning to set up the swing by this weekend. I'll be keeping an eye on the weather to see when they can go outside for the first time. 🌞🐾 More adventures to come! 🐶
