Puppies on the way!

This is our first post on the blog for Duke & Scarlett's pups. We are expecting the new arrivals around the 16th. Scarlett (also goes by Skye) is becoming more noticeably pregnant every day! She has overcome the morning sickness and is adjusting to the more frequent need for trips outside.

This blog is mostly intended for the future families of the puppies. We would like you to know your pup before bringing him/her home. From now until when the puppies get here we'd like to give out some information about Aussies. Below are some links to help familiarize yourself with the breed.

Aussie's are very smart dogs that need mental stimulation. They excel at everything they do- herding, agility training, and family companion.
