Red Sky Ranch Aussies

08/11/2024

A whole lot of happy happened yesterday! First we met up in Crescent with Megan and Chris to send Dawson home to a perfect Aussie farm life in the heart of beautiful Oregon wine country. Then we met Erik and Kate in Bend to send Lulu to another perfect Aussie life, outdoor adventures in the middle of an outdoor wonderland. You can see her there in her crate, very unsure about what's up, but in a week she'll be settled in and hitting the nearby trails with her family, so happy she'll barely remember us! Dawson, not having formed any strong attachments yet, was immediately smitten with Megan and Chris. Altogether a wonderful day and, I have to say, not having been in Bend in years - boy, I get it, that is one awesome place. Congratulations guys, especially Dawson and Lulu - big fun ahead for all!!

Last Cali and Duke baby still waiting. Darly has a sweet feminine look and she's a happy little girl. Smart and spunky, too - you can see it in her eyes!

*** DILLON IS RESERVED - CONGRATS MICHELE! ***
Dillon is just about an angelic puppy. Zero complaints for his bath and then draped over my thigh for at least a half hour while I painstakingly brushed all the little sticker balls out of his coat, with his head laid down on my left arm the whole time. LOVE his disposition! He's a sweetheart to the other puppies, too. Loves to play, but never gets too rough. He's going to be a truly exceptional family dog. And his coloring - WOW!

08/08/2024

Dillon and Darly got to play on the new grass today and boy, did they love it! Most of my pictures were them tumbling around wrestling. Everybody loves green grass, especially in these dog days of summer. That was our big job last weekend, putting in 3300 square feet of sod. Even the rabbits and deer are circling outside the fence 😆 We're giving it a little time to take hold before much traffic, but all the dogs and pups are getting some yard time and it's just a lot of fun to see how happy they are on it. These two sweethearts are available and raring to go! *** DILLON IS CLAIMED! ***

*** DAWSON IS RESERVED - CONGRATS MEGAN & FAMILY! *** Dawson is the next smallest puppy in this litter after shrimpy little Dena. But, he's teenager Concho's best playmate. They just have a blast together. Maybe I'll try to get some shots of their antics this afternoon, after I find the time to get all the weedy little velcro balls out of their coats, too. Poor babes, that can't be comfortable. Dawson is still waiting to hear when he gets his own fam ❤

We got to take a break from a long working weekend today and drive down to W**d, California to deliver Dakota to these two beauties. We were running late, because when I went to bathe her, I found that the puppies had just found a patch of those horrible little vine-y weeds that make a million tiny velcro balls and she was packed with them - that was a job getting all those out! But Amanda was gracious and it was so nice to meet them and know Dakota's going off to a wonderful home. Congratulations Amanda & Family!!

I haven't ever posted full pictures of Magnolia Stardust Cali Girl ("Cali"). These are her registration pictures and I always meant to get better ones, because she's standing funny in both of them - but here we are and I still haven't gotten new pics! She is a very pretty girl with a really nice coat, kind of swirly without a lot of undercoat. She's my least shedding dog, which really makes points around here!

08/03/2024

Well darn, Dillon was all set to go off to the northern California mountains for a life of adventure, but his person got called away to the Park Fire and will likely be gone a month! Wishing them success and safety there, that's a scary fire. So Dillon's back patiently waiting for a family. Male and female black tri's Dawson and Darly, and red merle female Dakota, also still waiting. These babies are just fluffy bundles of love and playfulness right now, so ready to meet new people. They'll be eight weeks old this Sunday! Is there room in your life for a new best friend? Info at redskyranchaussies.com

Lulu girl needs a family. Please go read her story at redskyranchaussies.com

I was just going through pictures of previous Cali/Duke pups and, looking at these two pictures of Denali from their last litter, it struck me how beautifully her facial copper developed. The first pic is her at 8 weeks when she first went home and the second is her around 6 months. Wow. And I love the eyeliner that Cali puts on her pups! Dave and Merri, you guys have a beauty there!

07/28/2024

Guys, it's very obvious that things have shifted dramatically. Seems like everyone's uneasy right now. We're right there with ya. These beautiful, AKC/ASCA dual registered, quality puppies from health tested parents will be 8 weeks old next Sunday and still don't have families! More than anything I want what's best for them and that's to be going to loving homes very soon, which just happens to be what's best for you if you're looking for a pup, because we've made *** CHANGE$ *** to their information on the website - please go look. These babies will give back to you immeasurably in their lifetimes, including being excellent devoted guardians, which we put right near the top of the list. This is your chance to bring home a great pup that you might have felt was out of reach and will likely be our last litter for the foreseeable future, until we all feel better about things. redskyranchaussies.com

** DANI IS RESERVED - CONGRATS SYDNEY & NOVAK!! **
Last Cali & Duke pup to show off is Dani. She's got great copper and a nice little white collar. These pups are AKC/ASCA, both parents fully health tested CLEAR. They'll be ready to go home August 3rd. Delivering to Bend/Medford/Roseburg/Eugene and it's coming right up! More information at redskyranchaussies.com

This little critter is just giving me fits. I don't have a new bestie since I lost Dixie, although I love and enjoy all my dogs. Dena was born noticeably smaller than the other pups and, despite being spunky and unaware of her size from the get-go, she's stayed a size or two smaller. I get a kick out of her bold attitude. But!! We need to make room here, not add another! That being said, you may see a young adult come available that I wouldn't otherwise offer. We'll see...

07/25/2024

These two hung out with me for the afternoon. Blue merle Dena and black tri Dani, both such pretty and colorful girls. They wore themselves out playing and making friends with Dolly and Riba, and they're asleep under my desk right now. Sometimes I wish they could just stay puppies forever. So sweet and so full of promise and optimism.

Concho is still waiting patiently for someone to call his own! He's hanging out in the back yard with Duke and Auntie Mesa, learning what the big dogs do. He's a very cheerful, observant boy and he never misses a chance to come greet us and hang out. Picking up basic commands very quickly. Never a nuisance, he already has a great sense of personal bubble. Thinks he's a watchdog and joins in sounding the alarm when critters are afoot at night. I'm always impressed when a pup stays a little longer at what great individuals they really are. I would just love for this nice boy to get to start his new life. If you're looking for a well rounded young dog to bring joy and companionship to your family, shoot me a message because I'm sure we can make it happen!

*** DILLON IS PENDING DEPOSIT ***
Check out this colorful little bear. Mocha base color, two shades of red, blue eyes, copper points and plenty of dazzling white! In fact, he has a little extra white, so will not be available with full rights. But what an eyeful. Just as good natured as can be, too, quietly putting up with his bath and the blow dryer, waiting patiently for his turn to snuggle and play. Dillon is a pup that will be an amazing buddy and guardian and he will sure stand out all his life!

07/18/2024

Black tri girl Darly was a lamb for her pictures. Perfectly content to sit and look at me while I made stupid noises (it's work to get puppies to pay attention to you when they're in different surroundings!) But as soon as we were done, boy was she a firecracker! She's smaller than Dakota, but she was seriously giving her a run for her money. She has some nice white on her collar that I'll try to get in pictures soon. More info on these guys at redskyranchaussies.com

Time to really start showing off Cali and Duke's 5 week old kids! Dakota here has the prettiest blend of colors, much more stunning in person than in my photos. She's playful and personable, doesn't seem to be afraid of anything. She's going to be fun to have around and what a looker!

07/10/2024

Cali and Duke's little black tri male Dawson has the nicest copper. They're so much fun right now, just really got their legs under them and they're making good use of them!

07/04/2024

And then there was one.....Concho here is the last boy not claimed. So far, all is perfect in his world because brother Cole (now Zeuss) doesn't leave until next week, but he'll be feeling pretty lonesome after that. Hope you're all having a wonderful sunny 4th. We're far removed from the excitement up here in the boonies, so it'll be a peaceful evening for the dogs and us. But fingers crossed we'll be able to see the Klamath fireworks display from our high perch - happy 4th of July all!

This is a concern everywhere as summer heats up. BEWARE.

For PET OWNERS that take their dogs to lakes and creeks, please read this warning from Morgan & Patrick Fleming.

This morning we thought, it’s so hot! Let’s go to the lake! We took our sweet Arya to the lake and had the best day playing ball and swimming around! About 30 minutes later on the drive home, we noticed her making weird noises and she threw up and pooped in the car. We called our vet on the drive and they suggested we take her in. By this point our girl couldn’t even stand. They told us she was in critical condition so we took her to the ER. By the time we got there, she was brain dead. Today was absolutely awful. We lost our fun, loving, and crazy girl to what we can only assume was a lake toxin such as blue green algae. Arya, no dog will ever replace you in our hearts. We already miss you more than you could know. I hope you’re running around like a wild girl with all the other boarder collies in doggo heaven ♥️

I said goodbye to my lovely Cisco/Duke daughter Zoey a week ago and I've spent the time since then coming to terms with it. It's been immensely helpful that Joseph and Maude have sent me so many great pictures of her on the trip home and in her new surroundings. She has a wonderful life ahead of her, filled with bayside beach play and endless wooded trails. Thanks guys for giving Zoey this shining future, couldn't happen to a sweeter soul.

The babies always crash hard after their first puppy mush meal. They were so thrilled with it, they kept rousing themselves and crawling back over to nibble some more, but finally all was quiet. Cali was only too happy to go clean up the mess for them. Cali and Duke AKC/ASCA pups.

06/28/2024

These boys are a riot right now! First a splashy wallow in the water trough, then an oh-so-vicious rough and tumble until they're coated in dirt and grass - their absolute joy over everything is contagious. They are sooo ready to be sharing all this fun with their own family. Contact me through redskyranchaussies.com or message me for info!

06/22/2024

Cali and Duke's two boys, black tri Dawson and red merle Dillon. We're going to spend so much time with these guys, since as I mentioned, we'll be taking a break to do some adventuring ourselves for at least the rest of the year. We have to soak up a lot of puppy love to last us awhile!

06/22/2024

Remember when I said we had one more batch of babes coming this year? Well, they're here and we've actually been quietly admiring them for almost two weeks! Cali and Duke are the proud parents of six AKC/ASCA beauties, four females and two males. These are the girls - red merle Dakota, black tri Dani with the widest collar, black tri Darly, and blue merle Dena. Cali is taking wonderful care of them all. She loves all babies, but especially her own!

06/20/2024

* EDIT - COLE (now Zeuss) IS RESERVED - CONGRATS JILL! ** Unfortunately, I need to make this handsome boy available again. He's been reserved, but it's just not going to work out for his family this time. Cole has the kindest, most easy-going temperament - reminds me a lot of Duke. He loves to play with us, but never bites when playing! Just a very sweet boy. Please message me for info.

What a fun day! Went for a scenic drive Sunday to meet up with Cadie's family. Sue spotted Cadie from about 20 feet away and let out a happy yell - and Cadie immediately ran straight to her!! I loved it, because it was their first meeting! Just meant to be, I guess ❤ Sue and her adorable grandson are showering her with love and it sounds like Cadie's just on cloud 9 with it all.

06/12/2024

She was being licked to smithereens by one happy little boy 😂😂

06/11/2024

A couple more happy/sad goodbyes yesterday. Casey and C**t have gone to wonderful homes and were immediately in love with their people! There's nothing better than sending these guys off knowing they'll be well loved AND that they'll be the best companions their families ever had 💕
