Hops earned two titles this past weekend, her OA and NAJ. 🎉

Within 11 runs across five “weekends,” she worked her way through Novice and Open to now be in Excellent Standard Agility.

We went into this weekend looking for our final Novice JWW Q, and she delivered on our last run of the weekend, earning her NAJ in 15 runs over six weekends. Running a fast, drivey dog is not for the faint of heart if you like a high Q rate. 😂

We are moving on up to Open JWW at the end of the month and will continue tightening up our skills. Start lines and sticky contacts remain on the never ending list of things to work on. ✨📋

Happy New Year! 🎆🐾
Starting the year with this darling photo of Marni (blue merle, right) from our Connor x Cersei litter and her MAS sister Shiver, thanks to their amazing owner Corinne! We are so grateful for our puppy families and the love and care they give their dogs. Here’s to a wonderful 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!
