Kudos to all of the wonderful families and individuals who adopted our puppies, trained and raised them through their puppyhoods and now enjoy the happiness that each one brings to their family!
Tilly
"Tilly is doing great she is a great cattle dog. We are still training her with the cows she's very good on sorting out 1 cow when she's in the yard with them. The kids are also enjoying Tilly. Hope all is well with you and your family!"
-Minnesota
Laddie
"Laddie is a happy
creature to have at our home. He is a very friendly and lively dog. He never acts aggressively. He gets along well with other dogs at the dog park where they are all
off-leash. He loves to play with them."
-Minnesota
Lady
"Lady loves her balls. She is doing fantastic..so smart..as seen by figuring out the cattle waterer enough though she has her own. She is loving chasing squirrels right now. Luckily we are on a large acreage a quarter mile from a quiet gravel road so she is able to be in the yard without constant supervision all the time... just when someone comes or goes. She is our baby!! The grandkids love her."
-Missouri
Bingo
"Bingo has grown up to be a very happy guy, his mouth always has a smile on it. Bingo weighs 53 pounds and is very energetic and athletic. Our neighbor adopted Bingo so he is in a great home with people we know, and he can still have play time with Mason. (EDIT: Mason is owner's older ES) The girls just love him and he is being spoiled rotten. He is top dog now which is what he really needed."

Captain
"Skip (now Captain) is doing great! He's a little firecracker that brings joy to us every day. Here's some pictures from today of him enjoying the snow!
Thank you so much for helping us add to our family with such a special dog! It's been a great year."
-Wisconsin
Rex
"Rex is doing very good. We love him and he brings a lot of joy to our family. Our two grandsons love him.
Just thought I would update you as it was just the other day Jamie said, "Mom...guess what happened 2 years ago today? We brought Rex home.". 🥰
Hope you and family are well."

Sebastian
"We have so enjoyed Sebastian! He is such a fast learner and eager to please. We have taught him many tricks and commands. Hoping to get some chickens next year for him to start herding. He tries with the cats and horses but they don't listen. 🤣 He has such a fun personality and is super goofy. He has not met a person he doesn't like and gets along with most dogs that like to play hard. He can be a bit overwhelming for quieter dogs. He will be getting neutered this summer. We are so happy with him and can't imagine our life without him! Thanks for picking us the perfect puppy!"
-Wisconsin
Luna
"Luna is doing great. She is such a sweet puppy! She gets to go on walks, hikes, jogs, and bike rides frequently. She is very athletic and enthusiastic. She has been a wonderful and much loved addition to our family."
-Wisconsin
Lenya
"She’s super smart and a great addition to our family and farm. She is a great companion to my husband when he’s doing anything with the cows and all of his late nights outside working on farm things. We haven’t trained her well enough to work cattle like some cattle dogs do but she can still be very helpful with them. She is very good at helping me move my chickens or ducks if I ever need to. She’s great with our kids. She’s actually a play companion with them outside. I love that she stays around home without a leash or fence. She always surprises us with how smart she is."
-Wisconsin
Sparrow
"Sparrow is doing well. She still has learning to do but she is smart and a joy. She has a good life. She plays with a dog friend every morning. Spends a good part of the day out on the deck and in the yard and when she comes in she lays in front of the woodburning stove. "
-Minnesota
Millie
"She’s incredibly smart, a bit feisty as predicted, and also very sweet and protective. She’s amazing at frisbee too! I think she certainly inherited the best of her mom and dad in terms of appearance too."
-Wisconsin
Charley
"Charley is loving winter, his favorite thing to do is run and roll in the snow, which we have been getting lots of lately. We go to a nature preserve across the road every day, and he gets to play with lots of other dogs there. He is very outgoing and loves all his doggy and human friends, and he always has a smile on his face.
We just love him so much and all the extra love he brings to our family."
-Utah
Shep
"He is everything we hoped for in a companion dog. Most importantly was how he has energized our 9 year old Bella. (Edit: Bella is owner's other dog) Our family is now complete."
-Wisconsin
Gracie
"Gracie has really come out of her shell since she came to live with us. She loves car rides, seeing grandma, playing with her buddy Truday (dog), chasing balls, and playing tug o war. She does not do well with strangers. She barks at them and sometimes acts as though she could nip. Hard to believe because she is such a sweet girl." (EDIT: Gracie was rehomed from her original family because of fear and reactivity caused by being by one of her doggo brothers that she lived with)
-Wisconsin
Baylen
"Baylen is super intelligent and quickly and easily learns things. She really amazes me! She’s entertaining, loving and affectionate and I have so much fun with her. She loves chasing all the squirrels and rabbits on my property, and wants to make friends and get pets from everyone she sees! She really is the light of my life and I’m very thankful I have her."
-Washington
Rover
"He's doing well! We just moved to Florida. He's been a fantastic dog."

Kenai
"He is doing awsome. He is exceptional with both kids gets along with everything known to man kind. A very well behaved sweet dog. Thank you so much."

Major
"He's wonderful! Next year, when he's fully grown, we hope to have him helping with the cattle. He's super smart & courageous, too!"
-Wisconsin
Coda
(at left, posing with his ES brother)
"He has been amazing and we love him so much!!! We are celebrating his birthday and he is as spoiled as they come! He's very strong! Lots of muscle. [The dogs] play non-stop which is wonderful! Our property has woods and a creek and they love spending a lot of time out there with the kids."
-Iowa
Bunsen
"He has brought so much happiness to our lives and we can't picture life without him. He's grown to love sticks, hikes, and car rides almost as much as peanut butter. He hates baths but loves to play in the snow and mud."
-Michigan
Mazie
"Oh my, she matches our family's personality perfectly. Very calm loves belly rubs, still has lots of puppy in her as she loves to play ball. She's gentle. Hasn't bitten anyone...yet. likes to watch my chickens. She's my shadow she follows me wherever I go. She listens to me when I need her to stay out of the cow pen. Doesn't bark unless there is a stranger on the yard. She sleeps in the house. In the evening when we're in the family room she'll come put her head on our lap to get some pets in. Almost every night the boys will get on her level and just play with her. She loves that."

Violet

"She is still working on learning not to jump up on people, but she is improving. She is a quick learner and eager to please."
