Let us all be thankful for time with family, and let us all be our best selves in 2026! 🤞🏼

Merry Christmas Eve, and Merry Christmas from all of us here at Ausdauer Aussies!🎄🎁
I do not have any Christmas photos of my own dogs this year, but hopefully next year I will. So, instead, I get to share this adorable photo from one of my amazing puppy owners from last year, and it is still just too cute not to share! 😍✨

Thank you so much to Tia for this photo of Boady, formerly Spud, from our fabulous all boy litter.
❤️🎄
Wishing everyone a joyful and cozy holiday, filled with love, cookies, and happy dogs! 🐾💫

✨ 2025 Accomplishments ✨
As the year winds down, I’m so proud looking back on everything the Ausdauer crew (and their amazing owners!) accomplished in 2025. Every title, milestone, new experience, and bit of hard work represents time, teamwork, and heart, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the dedication each of you pours into your dogs. 💚

🏆 Titles & Milestones
• Hops – Novice Agility (NA) and Novice FAST (NF) titles, plus Dock Senior (DS) with new personal bests!
• Marni – Rally Novice (RN) + BCAT + TKA!
• Riff – Scentwork Containers Novice (SCN) + BCAT!
• Skye – BCAT + Canine Good Citizen (CGC)!
• Cersei – Virtual Scent Work Beginner (VSWB) + Fit Dog Bronze (FITB)!
• Theory – Trick Dog Novice (TKN)!
• F***g – STAR Puppy (STR)!

⭐️ Worth Celebrating Just as Much
Not every achievement shows up as a title (yet!), but the journey matters just as much.
• Kevin had his first introduction to sheep. 🐑
• Missouri attended an agility workshop and helped to spark an interest in agility with her owner.
• And so many of you trained, trialed, learned, tried new sports, and invested in your dogs in meaningful ways. I am so proud of every single effort.

And a very special milestone for me was accomplished this year:
🌟 AKC Breeder of Merit 🌟
A recognition of dedication to preserving and promoting this incredible breed I love so deeply.

Here’s to another year of goals, growth, and good dogs. 🐾💙
Hoping 2026’s list continues to grow!

Don’t mind her grinch toes I haven’t felt well enough to tackle those 🥴🫣

You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
🍯🪰
If we want to educate, we should remember that hostility and bullying drives people away. People learn best when they feel safe enough to ask, listen, and grow.
I know I have been guilty of this myself, and we could all do better.

One stacking mistake almost every newbie makes:
Pulling the neck forward instead of up. 👀

Top vs bottom says it all.
(This was a 6 week old puppy, and while he is posting a teeny tiny bit on the top, this was the best I could do comparison wise with what I had in my phone quickly.. I can make more of these comparisons if I need to)
Hint: if you can’t see the importance of the difference, look specifically at the neck length and angle where the neck meets the shoulders. His neck looks much more elongated and his shoulder layback looks upright.

Throwback to baby Lenny boy in the ring! 🐾💙 Big dreams, baby faces, and full hearts. While Lenny is living his best life in a companion home, his littermate sister Hops will, hopefully, be bred in 2026 to produce my second generation of Ausdauer dogs.

Thanks to Cersei and the wonderful studs she was paired with, my first generation has truly exceeded expectations. ✨🐶

I never shared this photo, because it wasn’t perfect.. Because I was afraid of judgment, of screenshots where people would talk about my dog, who I thought so highly of.
I’ve spent years of my life fearing what others had to say, because I heard them say it when they thought I couldn’t hear, or because I heard them say it about others when they couldn’t hear. And I’m ashamed to admit I have also been that person, who judged and said things I’m not proud of.
I’m thankful for those who are truly in my corner, for those who have always supported me and my dogs, even when I didn’t deserve it. As I mature and gain more experience and insight, my goals move, my thoughts change. But I try to now keep my focus on getting better rather than staying bitter.

We are so over winter already and ready for SPRING! Cold weather, please exit stage right.
I’m trying to force myself to enjoy this long break before our next event (agility, the first weekend of January) but I’m so ready for it to just be here because that means we will be that much closer to warmer weather and GRASS!

Life has been heavy lately.. loss, grief, family things, and personal health things that take priority over Facebook arguments or subtle digs.
Before you try to provoke people online, remember you have no idea what they’re walking through.
I don’t have the energy for conflict, and I’m not entertaining it. I’m putting my time where it matters.
