I wrote this for you for your
web-site. I hope this helps you
find homes for your awesome puppies.
I tried to write it in a user-friendly
manner.
I'll send pictures this weekend.

Frequently Asked Questions from a truly
honest Horsecreek Aussie owner.
Why should I buy an
Australian Shepherd?
These dogs are very intuitive, loving
and playful. They are loyal to
their families and are easily trained.
Their coats are absolutely lush and
beautiful, but the shedding is minimal
compared to some of the other breeds
with full coats. People will stop
and ask you what kind of dog you own
because they are so gorgeous. The
most important step in buying an
Australian Shepherd (Aussie) is to pick
a reputable breeder.
What is the breeder like at Horsecreek
Aussies?
Deadra is the most patient, supportive,
honest, kind breeder you will find.
She answered all of my questions,
addressed all of my concerns and gave me
the most beautiful dog. My family
and I could not be happier!
Why should I buy an Australian Shepherd
from Horsecreek?
You will get the sweetest, most
beautiful, sensitive, intelligent dog.
Your dog will be confident, friendly and
cuddly. Your dog will come to your
home well-adjusted and content.
(My puppy even tells me when it is time
to go outside to go potty!) The
only down side is having to leave your
dog to go to work.
Why should I pay so much for a
Horsecreek Aussie?
These dogs will live up to 14 years.
Pay the price and you will have an
unconditional friend for years. I
did the math. It is truly a sound
investment! If you buy an Aussie
from Horsecreek, you will be absolutely
thrilled with your dog. I know I
am!
What if I live a long way from Oklahoma
?
My
puppy came to me by plane in Michigan .
I was so afraid that she would be
traumatized by the flight. I was
wrong. My puppy was clean and
happy. My puppy came out of the
crate ready to love her new family.
We absolutely love her right back.
Thank you so much, Deadra!

Hi Deadra,
hope all is well for you
and your family.
Wanted to drop you a line and send you some updated
pictures of Kash, he is still doing great and as you will
see in the pictures, a fine young Aussie. He is now 3
years young and getting smarter every day. Lots of people
brag on him and I actually have one friend that begs me
for him every time he's around him, I can understand that,
but I think my friend has lost his
mind, Ha ha!! Hope you
like the pictures and as always, thanks, I've never owned
an Aussie quite like Kash.

Ozzy is so happy and soooo beautiful! I will send you an
updated picture of him. He loves to play and herd our
black lab everywhere. I know I sound like a proud parent
-- but he is so wonderful. I can't imagine life without
him. I was recently sick and he was so aware of it. He
wouldn't leave my side. Thanks for being such a wonderful
person and breeder!
Take care -- Fran

Hi Deadra and family,
Words cannot express the amount of joy that Connor has
brought to our family since he arrived. He brings us all:
smiles, laughter, puppy kisses, puppy hugs. He has helped
to lift the enormous cloud of sadness of the loss of my
Mother. It was meant to be (he just came in the room with
me, he has to be by my side :) ), that the two previous
families, weren't able to take him. He was left for us to
find him on your web site.
Connor just LOVES the pool. We can't keep him out! He
will just take a swim "just because". No one has to even
throw a toy in the pool. It is so cute! Our last two
Aussies didn't like the water at all. So Connor's
interest in the pool is a whole new experience for us. (I
wash lots of towels; we're always drying him off).
He has made
friends with the donkey next door. They touch
noses through the chain link fence, as well as play
"chase" up and down the fence line.
Also, very cute.
Connor
is an EXCELLENT catcher. He loves to have you
throw anything to him and he brings it right back to you,
without even being taught as much. He is very social, and
everyone always tells him how beautiful he is. I started
formal training this week with him. He has such a will to
please.
So far Connor has traveled with us to: Oregon, Washington,
several providences of Canada, Montana, Idaho, Utah, and
Nevada. He traveled quite well for a puppy.
Sending a picture of his recent hunting experience in our
back yard.
I will send up updates as he goes through his training.
What do you think? Isn't he BEAUTIFUL!
Wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey Deadra
Just a quick note to update you on our precious new
addition. We are having a blast with our little guy. He
is energetic, loving and so playful. I’ll take him to his
first vet visit the week. Everyone that comes to visit us
is at awe with him. He loves the attention from everyone
and
is very friendly!!! About an hour everyday he get this
burst of energy that is unstoppable. We get such a kick
out of him. I think I’ve lost 2 lbs since I’ve had him.
Can’t complain, I was looking forward to losing a few lbs
and he may be my best diet plan. Ha ha!
He is a very smart little guy, knows exactly what we want
from him. Housetraining is still in the works but
definitely making progress. He has really bonded with
everyone at home wonderfully, with me, he is
un-attachable.
Thanks for the wonderful breeding you do and for the
professional way you dealt with everything. I just have
to tell you that those puppies are the most impressive
puppies! The whole litter is sooooo precious! I’m
sure they all will go to excellent homes! I like to look
at the puppies photos on your web-page and each puppy that
you have listed is just outstanding! Congratulations on
your exceptional litters! You were wonderful in updating
me with pictures and responding to all my fickleness!
We are very ecstatic with Ta-Tonka Blu, (Tonka for
short)! He has adjusted wonderfully. I will be
sending pictures of him just as soon as I can; it’s hard
to pin this little guy down. Take care, be in touch
soon.

P.S. Kenneth fell in love with him right away. He’s so
sweet and loves everyone!
Thanks so much, Vannieca

Dear Deadra,
We just wanted to send you a note to tell you how
incredibly happy we are with our pups, Cooper and
Charley. They're now 6 months old and they are
wonderful! Wish words could express how much joy
they've brought us! Thank
you for being patient with us while we decided whether
we were getting one or two pups and thank you for
encouraging us to be patient so that you could fill our
"order" with just the pups we described to you:)
They're perfect! (Maybe even better than perfect:)
They're beautiful, they're well behaved, and they're so
social! We take them out to an off-leash dog park and
they love to play and run with all the dogs, big and
small. People are constantly stopping to compliment us,
both on how beautiful they are and how well mannered.
And they're SO good with children! We have a lot of
kids in the neighborhood who stop by frequently, on
their way to and from school, riding their bikes into
the driveway, etc. and they get, and give, lots of
loving. These dogs are so sweet natured! The only
slight problem that we do have with them is that when
Bob or I sit down on the floor to play and pet them,
they both jump into our laps and there's just not room
for both of them in one lap:)
We are so happy
that we decided on two! It
was the best decision we could have made,... we haven't
looked back once! As you remember, we have a
12-year-old cocker spaniel at home and we were afraid
that she might be a bit old to bring puppies into the
house, but we were so wrong. They've given her new
life! She runs around the yard now and even the
neighbors have commented on how they've never seen Kenzie so active! So that's been good! Also, the pups
play so much with each other that she doesn't have to be
involved in all that puppy wrestling, gnawing on ears,
chasing etc. And while there is a strong bond between
them, they are just as attached to us and spend most
nights curled up next to Kenzie too. It's been fun
having one male and one female because they do indeed
have different personalities. Charley, our little girl,
is full of energy and inquisitiveness, and is fearless,
while Cooper is much more laid back and follows his
sister around most of the time. It's just interesting!
Puppy training has gone well as they learn so fast. Fun
to have the "rock stars" of the class:) Our trainer has
been so complimentary of them, commenting that they are
the best Aussies he's seen. So calm and well behaved
for 6 month old pups.
So, we just had to write to thank you for our fabulous
little buddies. It's crazy how things happen. We found
you simply by searching websites for Aussies and I don't
think we could have found a better match for us
anywhere! Thank you for raising such awesome Aussies
and providing individuals and families with great
companions and so much happiness!
Fondly,
Bob and Linda Worsing

Hi Deadra,
Hope all is well
with
your and your family, I'm sure it is cause OSU is
kicking tail this year, Ha Ha!!! Just wanted to
drop you a picture of Kash. He is doing great. He
has matured so much and is one of the smartest Aussies
we have ever owned. We just recently moved into a
new house and he has lots more running room now than he
had before and he loves it. Coming through the
woods he runs like a reindeer, every time he leaps, I
bet it's 20 foot before he hits the ground
again....amazing and makes my chest bow out.....cause
I'm like, that's my boy!! Ha Ha!!
Hope you like the picture.

Dear Deadra,
I wanted to thank you very much for
Bailey and Woodrow. They
are a joy (most of the time, LOL) and a great
addition to our family. We were very sad when we
lost our Aussie Bingo in May and are glad we
stumbled on your website. It is very informative;
you were professional and knowledgeable re: your pups.
Garrett our 6 year old plays with
them all the time and I of course get up with them
very, very early every morning. They do sleep in a
crate at night and adjusted
very well to it. They can sit and sometimes come and
stay (we are working on that). They have already
started to “herd” our cats; of course they did not
welcome the additions like we did.
Tom has really become attached to our
Ranch Security, as he calls them (more like our
ranch greeters).
Our Vet was very impressed with the 2
pups, great confirmation and just plain too cute for
words.
Again, thank you very much for the
pups.
Tom and Ayda Hamann

PS. They love the Wyoming cool
weather.

Nellie Bell is a sweet, fun
addition to our happy family. Great in the car, with
people, and is already our families' shadow and best
friend. Her and our adult male, Pal, play and patrol our
property constantly and are always ready to make us laugh
or give us love.
Thank you for our baby
Nellie.

Hi Deadra,
Hope you are doing well. Sadie is laying
at my feet as I write this to you, she is
such a great dog.
We were so happy to have
found the Horse Creek Aussies website. We were searching
for a quality breeder of Australian Shepherd
dogs. Not only was it important to find a great family
pet, but it was important to find a puppy from a breeder
that was concerned about the quality of the breed and
care about the dogs they sold. You can see from the
website that Deadra puts a lot of heart and soul into
her dogs. She is very informative about the puppies and
personable to work with as well. We were
concerned about shipping a dog, and put our faith in
Deadra’s care and we could not be more pleased with the
puppy we received. The flight on the plane did not have
any ill effect on our puppy. She has a great temperament
and is easy to love and care for. It did not take long
for our little “Sadie” to adapt to our family, she is
friendly to all age ranges from grandparents (80’s) to
grandchildren (2 yr olds) and plays with a sense of how
active or gentle she can be with each one. What can I
say but that we are so happy with our puppy! Thanks to
Deadra for all the time she took to answer our questions
and the great customer care she gives.

Hi Deadra!
Hope everything is good with you and the rest of your
family:) We're doing great and having so much fun with
our new puppies. They've adjusted really well to
Kansas and the city life! Tomorrow they'll
be
10 weeks old,
so
thought it was time to send you some pictures:) Had them
in to meet their new vet last Wednesday and they were
amazing. He was actually quite impressed with their good,
quiet behavior and thought they were beautiful,
wonderful
pups!
The neighborhood kids stop by to play daily so they're
getting acquainted with lots of little people
too. They've learned to come and sit,...most of the
time:) (At least when we've got their attention.) They
love to play with each other and leave Kenzie out of the
rough stuff. She has kind of taken a role of protecting
them though against the big 14 week old
Golden Retriever next door. Every day they
expand their boundaries by a few more steps. They've
taken to wandering into our other neighbor's yard to play
with their two big dogs.
They've had 2 baths and survived:),...and Cooper now
weighs 12.2 pounds and Charley 10.7 pounds. Thought
Cooper was going to be our "challenge," but he's actually
the mellow one and Charley is the trouble maker. She's
the aggressive one in play time, seems
to be more inquisitive, and definitely the more
independent one during school time:) Pretty sure she got
some of her Uncle Andy's genes from somewhere:) They are
both very entertaining and fabulous! We couldn't be
happier!
Enjoy these pictures of your/our most delightful puppies!
Love, Linda
'Happy'
We LOVE him soooo much!!!!
Thank you for the life change!!!

I wanted to drop you a
quick little note and wish you and your family a very
special holiday season…the same as your little puppy that
I picked up from you last Monday brought to my family. As
you know, I picked up the little red merle female
(butterball) from you early last week and had to keep it
top secret for a week before presenting it to my mom on
Christmas morning. The joy that sweet little puppy
brought during the week was heart breaking knowing that
the stay with me was just temporary, but if you could have
seen the tears of joy from my mom’s face when the puppy
was presented was a sight to behold. My mom was like a 5
yr old seeing Santa coming out of the chimney in person
for the very first time. Just to let you know, the
puppy’s first night at my parent’s house she slept in
their bed with them…..something that is unheard of at the
LeBlanc residence. There is no doubt that you raise very
special puppies and it’s definitely touched our lives here
Texas.
Again, happy holidays
and thank you for breeding precious dogs as the one I
purchased from you.
Warmly, Tommy

Hi Deadra,
Here she is
at 4 months and what an amazing puppy. We graduate this
Sunday and I must say she was the smartest in the
group!!! I have her trained to hit a bell to go out to
the bathroom. She loves going to the barn to feed the
horses. She has an excellent temperament, loves playing
with the kids. I have had sooooo many compliments on her.
She weighs 30 lbs and her vet is absolutely in love with
her. Thanks again for everything she is so loved here in
Canada.
Cheers,
Tracey

After looking at many different websites
and talking to several different
breeders,
we
couldn't be
happier with Horse Creek Aussies. We have loved working
with Deadra and feel like she has really helped us to
understand the breed and pick just the right puppies for
our family. Our puppies are
everything we hoped they
would be, it was obvious that the puppies were socialized
and well taken care of, upon arrival they came bounding
out of the crate!
Thank You Horse Creek Aussies YOU ROCK!
Hello from
Indiana! The dogs are doing really well we just wish the
long days of winter were over so we could spend more time
outside. Athena is such a fine girl who wakes up every day
wondering how she can please Tracie and I. Cruz is very
handsome and makes friends very quickly. The two of them
spend a lot of time playing together and we love getting
involved with them all we can. Cruz finished his obedience
classes a while back and he made tons of friends, some of
them being less than half his size. It didn't matter to
him how big they were as long as they wanted to play! LOL!
What a sight to see! Wow we really have gotten attached
to them Deadra. Again Tracie and I so much enjoyed meeting
you last summer. Stay warm and we will be in touch!
Your Friends,
Mike and Tracie F.

This is a picture of Shane, whom I'm so happy to have.
He's been very good, and he's a huge ball of joy.
He gets along great with anybody.
Thank you so much for allowing us to have him.
He's the cutest pup I've ever seen.
God bless.

Hi Deadra,
Thought
I'd send you an update on
our Bluez (Blu-Silk pup). He's growing up a very stout boy
- at almost 8 months and 62 lbs., I can't believe how fast
they grow. And does he ever have a BIG motor! He goes to
work with Steve almost everyday, running through the
woods, over logs, up and down hills and loves being a
timber cruiser's sidekick. On the other hand, he's happy
to run around with me all day doing errands and getting
treats at the bank or coffee drive-troughs. What a great
companion.....so smart and handsome! Here on the farm,
he's so excited with all the action at the barn with the
horses and cats, not to mention social time at the
stables. You can imagine what a BUSY energetic dog he is
until he crashes at bedtime!
I see
you have been very busy with lots of pups....hope all
their new families realize what great Aussies they have
chosen and love them like we love and enjoy our Bluezy!
Take
care,
Shirley

Jake is
doing great! We love him and he keeps us moving with bike
rides and trips to the park. He is only happy when he is
doing something with us. It doesn’t matter what it is, if
he is with us it is a great day for both of us!
Jake lost
his big brother Chance (yellow lab) late last year. We
were nervous how he was going to react because Chance was
always by his side. But we just gave him more attention
than normal for a while and he has transitioned nicely.
He still perks up when he sees a lab in the neighborhood
on our bike rides. I am sure he is hoping his big brother
is finally coming home. When he realizes it’s just
another neighborhood dog, he prances by on our bike ride
like he is the fastest dog in town. He really has
adjusted well considering how close they always were to
each other.
We love
Jake and he is doing great!

Hello From NY - Annie having fun in the
Blizzard December 27, 2010
Hi Deadra -
Hope all is well.
I thought of you today when Annie was out playing in all
of the snow. We got about 2 feet and she is just loving
every bit of it!
Annie is the center of EVERYONE's attention and she knows
it. She is quiet the little piggy, and weighs a whopping
63 lbs. We recently took her off the puppy food, and she
is already getting plenty of exercise. So hopefully she
will slim her waist line down a bit! Hope you enjoy the
pics.

Hi Deadra,
Here are some photos of our Blu and Lucy pup "Wyatt"
with his new best friend "Kitty." As you can see, they got
their picture taken with Santa when we were at the pet
store. I had numerous people come up to me and say that
they heard there was an adorable little puppy in the store
and had to come see him for themselves. Aussies aren't a
very well known breed where I live but Wyatt was the
perfect ambassador!
I really wanted to thank you again for providing us with
such a wonderful little dog and for making the whole
process incredibly simple. When I retrieved him off of the
plane he was very happy to see me and stretch his legs. I
was a little nervous about how my other Aussie, a 7 month
old female would take to him but they were friends from
the start. Now I rarely see one with out the other. I was
also pleasantly surprised that there was no 'shy puppy'
adjustment period. Wyatt is really everything I could ever
ask for in one little dog. He is gorgeous, intelligent,
and Mr. Personality to boot! Although I have only had him
four days he already comes to his name and is following
his friend Kitty's example in asking to go outside! I have
to say I am rather pleased and impressed with this puppy.
He is everything you said he was and so much more. We are
looking forward to a Spring season filled with puppy
classes, conformation handling classes & plenty of
competition! Thank you Deadra for providing us with the
total package - a Horse Creek Aussie!
Happy Holidays,
Sondra

Customer Comment: We found Deadra and
Horse Creek
online through one of the puppy search sites. We liked the “look and
feel” of her program and were captivated by the
photos of her pups, especially one which she had
caught who was very nicely marked and seemed to reek
of attitude even for an Aussie. Several
conversations later, I committed to driving from
near Chicago to Oklahoma in order “to meet the
parents” – a long ride but adoption is serious
stuff. That her daughter had named him “Angus” fit
his mug shot and, be assured, he has proven to have
both a sweet disposition and is a formidable “gamer”
loving rough play with adults or other dogs. He came
to us in superb health per our vet (who has five
Aussies of her own which she enters in competition),
is well conformed, and has great potential to become
a terrific member of the family. He even passed the
rigorous entrance exam for Early Puppy Obedience
School – or perhaps that was the three adults who
tend to him that were judged acceptable. At one time
several years back, I thought having a fairly good
size saltwater aquarium was fascinating (that
episode did not end well), but even carrying the
heavy AKC registered name “Horse Creek’s Angus
MacKendry Dundee” our “Gus” is much more rewarding
and we have Deadra and the Buffing family, plus Kool
and Raven of course, to thank for launching this
lovable unguided missile. Walt

Deadra,
Here are some of our first pix. Thank you so much
for this wonderful puppy. She is everything we ever
hoped she could be and more!! Not only is she
absolutely gorgeous with fabulous markings, but more
importantly, she is the sweetest puppy ever! She is
clearly bright beyond words, has a wonderful
disposition and is very gregarious and friendly. We
are all madly in love with her and she has
absolutely charmed everyone. We are telling our
friends about you and Horse Creek Aussies and you
should be getting more business. You have been a
delight to deal with and we appreciate your kindness
and consideration as we figured out how to have our
puppy brought to us.
Your puppies are first rate and it's definitely been
worth the extra effort to deal with someone as
professional and competent as you.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Hope you
and your family have a wonderful Christmas. I know
we will have one of our best ever!
Much love,
Lee, Mary and girls
News from
Mexico November 29, 2010
Hola Deadra,
Have not
"talked" for a while so I wanted to let you know how
things are going. Lucca and Kyrie are wonderful
dogs!!! We love them so much!
We have
wonderful news:
We decided to
have Lucca & Kyrie participate in a dog show. We
thought the experience would be good for the girls.
We enrolled
both girls in 2 regional dog shows: one in Puebla
(Nov. 20-21), & the other one here in our home town;
Queretaro (Nov. 27-28). Both got 2nd place in
Puebla. Lucca got 1st place in Queretaro and Kyrie
got another 2nd place! We are so exited, thrilled,
and of course happy!
The show in
Puebla was their first show, and the shows were only
one week apart. The hardest part for them was to
stay standing up, since they also have obedience
training.
The girls had
such a wonderful time you could see them really
enjoying themselves. Everyone at the show loved
Lucca's eyes and in general said she was gorgeous.
The judges fell in love with Kyrie's temperament
and playful character. The judge in Puebla said "I
don't like Lucca's character but she is so
beautiful, I will give her 2nd place"
Laura will be
taking the girls to Mexico City to the "Federacion
Canofila Mexicana" (Mexico's AKC equivalent) to
Compete in the International Circuit CACIB from Dec.
9 - 12. I will catch up on the weekend. We'll let
you know how it goes.
Finally, we
also want to let you know that after the girls
competed in the show, they participated in an
agility clinic. Kyrie was definitely born for
this!!!!! She has so much fun and loves to do and
learn the different obstacles. Lucca is a bit
slower and had trouble with a tunnel obstacle. Even
though she was afraid of the tunnel, Lucca has
improved her temperament. Little by little she is
less and less afraid of strangers. We are sure
Kyrie has also helped out on this matter.
Hope you and
your family and all the dogs are doing great.
Talks soon,
Fred & Lala

Hi Deadra...hope you and your family had a wonderful
Thanksgiving!
We are just so happy with the new addition to our
family! She has adjusted
really well...starting from day 1. She loves playing
outside, has mastered
the stairs on the deck and has a way of finding
someone to quietly sneak her
up to nap on the couch. As seen in the attached
photo! We also have a name
for her. Took us a few days but we decided to name
her Kashmir. Her markings look similar to those in
snow leopards
and snow leopards are found in Kashmir.
She is also super soft like a cashmere sweater,
so her name takes
on a double meaning.
She has grown so much just in one week. Definitely
putting on some weight!
We will keep you updated with photos so you can see
how she grows.
Take care!

Dear Deadra, We are extremely excited to say that “Ozzy”
is doing incredibly well! When
he arrived by plane he was happy and ready to get out of
his crate. He
is out of “Blu” and “Silk” and is about 4 months old now and so very handsome. His
colors are so rich and vibrant!He
is healthy, energetic, loving and plays all day with our 2-1/2 year old black
lab
“Cody”. They are inseparable! “Ozzy” is a typical
Australian Shepherd -- he herds “Cody” all around
and “Cody” doesn’t seem to mind at all!
“Ozzy” is
so smart...already knows sit and down. Everyone
we meet falls in love with him! He
has a wonderful temperament, disposition and is so very
intelligent. We love him so much and he brings so much
joy to us! Thank you for being so honest, patient, and
helpful. I would totally recommend you to anyone who is
looking for an Aussie! Sincerely, Fran and Steve

Hi Deadra,
Our Bluez dog is gonna be a big boy for sure.
He weighed 26 lbs today at the vet (not quite
4 months)....he gained 11 lbs in less than 3
weeks. He is so smart...already knows Sit,
Shake, Lay Down & Speak, and working on
Rollover. Steve and I remark all the time how
lucky I was to find your website and actually
get the kind of Aussie pup we had been looking
for since last winter. I know you receive a
lot of the same comments from your customers,
but we love Bluez so much....just keep up the
great work!

Deadra,
Let me start by saying how sorry we are for your
loss of “OZ”.
It was a year ago that I called you and inquired
about a litter of pups that you had and though I was
skeptical about ordering a dog through the
internet I have to say that it could not have been a
better experience. It was very obvious from the moment
that we picked “Karma” up at the airport that you had
spent a lot of time socializing this pup. You can tell
that you are not just “breeding “dogs for the sake of
breeding. It is apparent that you have a concern with
breeding to better the breed and produce quality dogs. I
definitely never imagined that I would end up with the pup
with a one in a million personality. She is a little sweat
heart!!! Of course you pick a name for your new puppy long
before you really have a true understanding of there
personality but WOW she managed to live up to her name. I
don’t think she has a mean bone in her body, and she just
has a very gentle loving soul. She bonded immediately
with our Rottweiler and the two of them are inseparable.
Its peace of mind knowing that not only are you getting a
quality animal but that there’s quality people backing up
the sale. We can’t thank you enough for such a wonderful
addition to our family. I can assure you that if we or
anyone else we know is looking for an Aussie your name and
number will be the first on the list.
Thanks Again Don and Bon Chapman Lisbon, Connecticut

Hi Deadra-
'Nelly' has turned out to be the SWEETEST dog known to
man (women)! Loyal, gentle and wonderful! We just spent
a month in Ontario with her and she loved the water and
accommodated herself to hordes of new people. You can't
ask for more in a dog.
'Soda' is
still a puppy and trying hard to find a place for himself.
He is very energetic and sometimes anxious when things
don't go the way he expects them to. They are both off to
the beauty parlor today as they are shaggy and in need of
a good cut.

Hey Deadra!
My wife Tracie and I would like to thank you again after
picking up our 2nd Australian pup from you last month. We
have had Athena now for a little over a year and what a
great experience she has been. I have to be honest; I did
not realize just how much love and care you give your dogs
until we visited you to pick up Cruz our second pup in
July. It was a very pleasant visit with you from the very
clean and neat kennels to the time you spent with my wife
and I and the pup to make sure we were completely happy
with him. If anyone asks me where to get a clean healthy
pup you can bet that your name will be the first to come
up!. Thanks again so much and we will stay in touch.

Deadra,
Thought
you'd like to
see how our adorable
Bluez is doing here
in
Oregon
on his 3rd day with his new family. He is
settling in very well and
is quite the little character!
Everyone says he's the most beautiful pup
they have seen. Thanks for taking the time helping us pick
the right pup.....all the photos and emails were greatly
appreciated!

I just saw, as I go through admiring your beautiful dogs,
that Oz had moved on to that starry ranch in the sky. The
picture of him with the young man in the back of the truck
as a pup is one of the all time best and I know you miss
him terribly. Just wanted you to know there are those of
us out here who have these dogs and truly appreciate
yours. When you have one like Oz there is no such term as
"just a dawg", they are so much more. Thanks for sharing
him with us over the net.
Thanks and my God Bless you and yours.

Deadra,
Thank you so
much for our two newest members of the family. Koda and
Sara are doing great. The boys are so excited to have
puppies for the first time. The puppies are laid back,
yet eager to please. They are super smart and well
behaved. We can’t thank you enough for your help and your
commitment to raising top quality Aussies. We will
definitely recommend you to our friends and family and we
will keep you updated as they grow and develop.
Thanks again,

Hi
Deadra,
We wanted to let you know how very happy
we are with Blu and Patches, they are the best puppies
and buddies!!! We just LOVE them and are so lucky to
have found you. You gave us so much information , you
were so honest , we were so trusting with you and feel
we known you for years. When we first came to visit you
welcomed us and showed us all the dogs and puppies, the
second time we got our little babies and they took the 4
hour ride very well. They are so sweet. We are very
impressed with you and your beautiful dogs and see the
pride you have in them.
I can't say enough good things about
you.
Thanks,

Hi Deadra, wanted to send you a couple
pictures of Kash chillin, He is now 1 year, 7 months young
and still our baby. He's become a legend in our town,
everybody knows and loves him. His mischievous ways has
earned him a reputation among all my friends, He is truly
something. I have friends with older Aussies and Lab's
that hang out with him, they get along pretty good but you
know there are times when they get jealous and tend to get
grouchy with each other. Anyway, just wanted to drop you
a line and let you know he is doing great and we love him
lots, thanks again to you for raising the quality of
Aussies you raise. We'll never buy one from anybody else
as long as you still have them.

Dear Deadra,
Hello! Hope you are all fine! 'Imi' (Horse
Creek's Limited Edition) is such a great big baby,
she super smart, loves and demands attention, will
sit all day and be so still as long as you are just
touching her anywhere, she stays right next to me,
she and my male Boogie are best buds and he loves
her and protects her with every being of his life.
She is soooo sweet, loving, very silly and hardly
ever barks. Just took her for her check up and
microchip last Friday and she weighed 50 lbs. These
puppy pictures are the day we got her off the
plane.
She is soooo cute and a joy to have!
Sincerely
Doris

Hi Deadra!
I meant to
tell you earlier how much we love Dex! He moved
right in and made himself at home. Everyone is
absolutely thrilled with him. It was like Nicky
knew right off that he was her brother! Our
vet is so impressed with Dex and raved about his
temperament, structure and beauty. Once again, we are
thrilled with a Horse Creek Aussie! Thank you for
letting him come live with us! We love him!

Deadra,
Beau
is doing great.
He is still very much a puppy (a
large puppy). He is spoiled and Beau and Cowboy are best
buddies. Beau is a hit at the paw spa, which is my doggy
day care at least twice a month. He is the social
coordinator for the girls. He is becoming more protective
of me as he is getting older.

Hello Deadra,
What a
truly beautiful, loving and extremely intelligent dog!
She herds my other dogs, one of my cats, as well as my
husband and me. My husband calls her the "Social
Director" since she tries to organize all of us and wants
to be in control 24 hours per day. I started training her
in a Beginning Agility class 8 weeks ago and she loves
it. The trainer has 2 Aussies who regularly compete in
agility events, so it is great to work with someone who
understands this breed.
All
the best to you,
Susan

Deadra,
I was thinking of you today and thought I would share
some of the latest pictures that we have taken of who we
believe to be the most gorgeous aussie on the planet. Of
course we are a little bit bias.
She has done leaps and bounds since we last spoke. She
is doing SOOO well working with the pasture cattle,
flushing them out of the woods, sorting, and holding
ground
at open gateways , but what she does the best is
work in the show barn when we are leading to and
from the wash rack and getting them to come out
of their pens. She is wonderful because she is seen and
not heard. She never barks and gets too rough and that
is exactly how we want her to be. She also attends every
High School Baseball game of Dillon's ... they have
deemed her the team mascot even though we are already
the Leopards. She is loved by so many others besides us
that she has no idea just exactly how much she is
loved.
I hope to get a few working pictures sometime soon. I am
very much hands on with her right now so it makes it a
little tough to get a good picture for you. Hope all is
well with you and your family and I will talk to you
soon.

Her color gets deeper and richer

She is absolutely gorgeous.

Hi
Deadra,
Hope you and your family have a Marry Christmas
and Happy New Year, I have a coworker over here
in Africa who is from Oklahoma and said yall
are
having a White Christmas, bet that is nice and
pretty. Kash is doing well, 1 year old and kinda
like a kid in the terrible 2's, He is truly
something, but well loved. Don't have to worry
about anyone coming in the yard, he is
protective, I think the power company meter
reader just guesses at our reading for the
electric bill, HaHa!!! Take care and be safe
during the holidays

Deadra,
Just
wanted to thank you sooo much for "Miss Tori" we LOVE HER more
than she will ever know. Thank you for your years of
dedication to your aussies it is remarkable!! You can see
it in her health, behavior, and confirmation. She is truly one of a kind
from her color ...to her personality... and her cattle
instincts. I could not of ask for a more perfect fit. She
makes me hop out of bed and take on the day with more
energy. I appreciate all the time and advice you gave me
while I was waiting to pick the right pup. There is no
other place to get an Aussie than from HorseCreek !!
Thanks again Amie ( and Tori )

I
thought you might like to see how gorgeous Dexter and
Sophie are. She actually outweighs him – by 6 pounds! I
think he’s still got some growing to do. They’re doing
great and are soooo smart. They chase each other around
the backyard and have a great time. Dexter is really fast
– he would probably have done great running cattle! –
Ellen
Blu was been a real blessing to
the Rey family. Thank you so much for your
patience and dedication to these beautiful dogs.
We are enjoying our baby boy so much. He doesn't
love
the
weather in Miami but he is getting used to it
little by little. He is full of energy and
loves to play with his brothers Brownie and
Duke. His herding instincts are coming out and
he plays hiding go seek like a kid. He's amazing
and so smart. Thank you for this wonderful
dog!!!
Thanks again,
The Rey Family
July 27, 2009
Hi Deadra,
Dexter is a bundle
of energy and loves playing with his toys and going
for walks and, of course, wagging his whole rear
end. Sophie is much more laid back and loves
everybody but isn’t as quick to wag her tail. Only a
few people get that response. Dexter is a total
watchdog – sometimes we wonder if he ever really
sleeps! Life around our house can get pretty wild!

Deadra,
Bogger is amazing and has been such a welcome
addition to the family!
He is a Kool and Bailey pup- which explains his
amazingly chill disposition I think. You should see
him with the little kids- it's unbelievable how much
he enjoys playing with them. But the cool part is
that when someone new or questionable comes to the
fence gate he barks and growls like he's the
meanest dog in town (which I love).
We
use a holistic vet and make our own dog food as well
as use an all natural flea and tick repellent (that
works!) I would be happy to post something on my
blog that you might like to link to for other dog
lovers looking for healthy alternatives!
Kristen
PS- I tell everyone about you and would never let
anyone that is interested in an Aussie go anywhere
else ;-)

Hi Deadra
My baby girl
is all grown up! They go every where together and at the
end of August I get to take them on the ranch in
Colorado
that will be their home some day. She has a great
temperament and just can't get enough loving. Thank you
for making it possible for us to have her in our lives!

Hey, Deadra!
Solo is doing FANTASTIC! He is the pinnacle of excellence
as some have stated. He has a great, friendly personality
and is always there at your side from the moment you wake
up to the time you go to bed. He loves to chase and be
chased when he's at the dog
park, and we recently moved to a new house about a month
and 1/2 ago, so he has a huge backyard and two buddy
neighbor dogs to play with as well. About
four friends of mine and I went our lake house on
the 4th, and Solo came along with us on the car ride and
trip. He was perfect, and everyone was raving about how
intelligent, calm, and beautiful he is (one of the friends
has two aussies himself, his dogs are actually the reason
I looked into aussies.. and even he said that Solo is a
great boy, beautiful, and very healthy looking). I cannot
thank you enough for providing such a wonderful breed, and
letting me invite a integral member into the family. He's
like the brother I never had!

Thank
you, Deadra, for being so professional, patient and
helpful. My puppy is outstanding. Her health and
condition are excellent. The pride you take in “Horse
Creek Aussies” is deeply appreciated. You are honest
and want to do the very best by your customers. I’m glad
and very lucky to have found such a reputable breeder.
I highly recommend you to anyone looking for a quality
Australian Shepherd. If I decide to buy
another Aussie, it will definitely be from you.
Thank
you again,

Deadra,
We made it back to Houston without
incident. We had had no name picked out for her and had
not thought of any as we wanted John to name her
himself. We hadn't left your house for ten minutes and
John said "I'm going to name her Mia. It just seems to
fit her." So Mia it is...actually I looked the meaning
of her name up when we got home. In Hebrew it means
"child" and in Latin and Scandinavian it means "my" or
"mine." So it fits her perfectly. She was a real lamb
all the way home. You were right, she let us know when
she had to go to the bathroom, a little restless, etc.
We stopped right away every time and she had no
accidents on the way home. She is VERY smart. The
sweetest natured little lamb. She has fit right in with
the other dogs and holds her own. One tried to snoozle
in on her bone and she jumped up and barked right in her
face. We all got such a kick out of it, no one would
have ever thought she had it in her. Needless to say
that hasn't happened since. We all love her so much I
just couldn't imagine our lives without her now. She
has her own little collar with her name tag and phone
number on it already. She sleeps with John every night
and just loves being outside with us when we sit on our
porch every evening. Thank you so much for
everything.
Take care, Stephanie

Hi Deadra
We wanted to thank you so much for bringing Lucy into
our lives. She is a beautiful puppy with a
great personality. My son is so happy, he takes
great care of her. We had such agreat experience with
you as a breeder that we are going to get a second puppy
from you and highly recommend you as a breeder to anyone
out there searching for an
Aussie because they need to look no further. Your
web site also is so easy to navigate through and is very
informative. We cannot thank you enough for answering
all our questions and your expertise. We will be in
touch, your the best!

Hi, Deadra,
I just had to touch base with you to let you
know that our Riley is doing so well! I just
love her to pieces! My husband and kids do
too. She is so friendly, outgoing, smart,
funny and loving. I cannot tell you how happy
we are with our awesome
Aussie! Would you like more updated
pictures of her? She is getting even more
beautiful by the day. Her coat is so lush and
full.
I keep looking at your website to see what new
puppies you have. You have some beautiful
puppies right now, as always. :)
Please feel free to have anyone contact me for
questions about your pups. I am so happy and
excited about my new addition that I am more
than willing to be a reference for you. Feel
free to give them my e-mail address, since
this is the best way to reach me. If they
would like to talk with me, have them contact
me by e-mail and I'll get back to them.
Sincerely,

Hi Deadra,
It's been
about seven weeks or so since we first picked up
Jax and Izzy, (probably
the best aussies in the world). We want to thank
you so much for all your help and guidance in
picking out our puppies and making sure there
plane ride to
Florida was a safe and happy trip. They
have been a wonderful addition to our family.
Horse Creek Aussies is as good as it gets
when comes to serving up some special and
beautiful puppies. They potty trained very quickly
and were quick to learn all the easy commands like
sit, stay, down, still working on the come command
except at feedin time! Two of them is quite the
chore but wouldn't trade them for anything!! They
entertain them selves and us! We have been
bragg'in on you to all who asks were we got
them. Took them to
Virginia for a couple of weeks, they
loved it in the mountains. Again thanks for being
as good as you are and hope you enjoy the pics.
Your
friends,
Bob,

Hi Deadra,
I wanted to write you to give you an update and
send some pictures of Bailey and Kool's pup,
Kash (BK BTM). Debbie and I are enjoying Kash so
much and he has become a special part of our
family. I
must say he is sooo smart and has lots of
character. Kash has already learned to fetch,
sit, shake hands, lay down and
rollover, so he has been very easy to train. At
12 weeks old he weighed 22 lbs, he is a growing
boy and fast. We are so
thankful that we chose to purchase a pup from
you at "Horse Creek Aussies". We hope to
purchase a female
sometimes in the future (after Kash has matured
a bit more), but this time we won't have to
search the internet for days trying to make up
our minds, we will just contact you, Ha Ha.
Thank you for the time and dedication you put
into assuring the safe arrival of Kash to us.
We will stay in touch with you and send pictures
as he continues to grow. Hope you enjoy the
pictures.

Hi Deadra!
Trudy continues to grow like a weed! I can't believe
how big she has gotten! She's probably at least 3 times
the size she was when we picked her up a month ago. I
can hardly pick her up anymore! She is doing great,
though! She knows how to sit and stay and she will wait
for her treats. We're still working on come - sometimes
she's great and then other times she's way too
distracted to pay attention
(like when she's antagonizing the poor cat!). She has
the sweetest disposition I've seen - she gets so excited
to see me when I come home from work or riding my
horse. She runs up to me and leaps into my lap, licks
me all over my face until I'm nice and clean, and gives
me several what I call "roos" (roo-roo-roo!). I love
it!
She's adjusting so well and is so easy going and laid
back. You guys did an excellent job of socializing her
to get ready for her new home!
Trudy is such a blessing and has filled our home with so
much joy, happiness, and constant entertainment! Thank
you so much for helping us to select such a great puppy
and for doing such a great job of breeding and raising
her. I'll keep you updated as she continues to grow!
Hope you guys are doing well!

Deadra,
Here is a picture of Riley. She is such an amazing
dog! Riley is very loving, playful and
intelligent. She is very outgoing too. Riley has made
friends with my family, the neighbors, the vet
office and even a news crew. Everyone comments on how
beautiful she is. People will stop their cars to say
hello to our
Aussie!
Thank you so much for the perfect Aussie! We would love
to have more, but we just do not have the room. We will
highly recommend your
Aussies
to anyone interested in having a quality pet.
We appreciate your interest in watching Riley grow. We
know you are a special breeder because you care so much
about your puppies and your dogs. Your hand-raising
definitely shows in our little Aussie, Riley! We look
forward to sharing how Riley grows.

Hey Deadra ,
Wanted to let you know that Athena is doing
great and continues to be a wonderful girl. I can
not believe how well she rides in the truck she
just rides around like she was born to take trips.
The other day she was out in the field and about
wore me out running after leaves that were blowing
about . She has a lot of energy!. We took her to
our vet when she came to us and the vet could not
believe how well Athenas shots and paperwork were
kept in order she was very impressed. It made me
even more proud to know that the vet knew I had
bought Athena from someone who really cares about
their puppies. I don't think anyone has not just
loved Athena when they meet her. Thank you for
raising such great puppies they are awesome!!!
Thank You !

Hello Deadra,
Jenna is doing great! She has become great friends with
our other dogs and enjoys playing fetch. She is learning
so quickly and amazes me everyday. Her left eye is almost
completely brown now and continues to grow more beautiful
all the time. At bedtime the other night she brought me to
tears. I picked her up to give her, her
bedtime hugs
and kisses and she rubbed her face on mine and then
rested her head on my shoulder and snuggled in my arms as
if to say I love you back! Moments like this are one of
the many reasons why aussies are the best! Thank you for
giving my family such a wonderful pup. She is getting
spoiled by all and continues to captivate us. I will be
sending hard copy photos soon !
Thank you Wendy Jessee and family

Hi Deadra,
We can not say enough wonderful things about our
experiences with you.
We felt immediately comfortable with Horse Creek
Aussies (after
interviewing several breeders) and have been so
pleased with all of
your assistance and follow up-thank you! Bogger was
a "sweet 16 gift"
for our son Codie and they are the best of friends!
Although we
expected a nice disposition from this breed, Bogger
is astounding. He
loves to play in the yard with our younger boys but
is also just as
happy to chill out and snuggle. Thank you again for
everything and
this amazing new addition to our family- We will be
staying in touch.

Deadra,
Max made it to Texas and is having a great time. He and Penny have truly
bonded. She goes from running him all over the backyard to mothering him. We
have a hawk that spends his time flying around the creek that goes through the
back of our property. Yesterday, both dogs were out in the yard playing, and
Penny stopped dead in her tracks and looked straight up. She had caught sight
of the hawk flying around, and she immediately took off and stretched herself on
top of Max and stayed there until she was sure the hawk was gone! What a smart,
sweet girl – she would have made a great mom! If she could speak, she would say
thanks for letting Max come live with her. They are going to be fast friends
(as well as half-siblings).

Hey Deadra,
Trudy continues to grow and is so much fun! I
can't believe how big she is getting. I want to
hold her and enjoy these short few months where I
can actually pick her up and snuggle, but she
wants nothing to do with that. She wants down so
that she can play with Major and terrorize the
cat. She's super smart - she already knows how to
sit and will wait for a treat as opposed to
mauling you. The house training is going well -
as long as we keep an eye on her, she'll let us
know when she needs to go out - she went 5 days
without an accident. But, she had 3 yesterday
while my dad was supposedly "watching" her. She's
adjusting very well to her crate - she's slept
through the night the past 3 nights. Woohoo!
She is such a great puppy - very affectionate and
playful. We love having her! Thank you again so
much for giving us this opportunity. I took some
pics a couple of nights ago, so as soon as I
download those I will send them to you. Hope you
guys are doing ok!

Hello from
Alaska!!!
Hey Deadra,
Just wanted to thank you and Jeff again for
being so good to me and my dad while we were
on our adventure!! You guys are awesome.
Maverick has mastered the stairs after
3 days of being in her new home.
She gets
along great with all the other
dogs and cats. When ever Mav and
Dakota are playing and they get a little to
rough Maddie takes it upon herself to sit on
whoever is being rougher haha. She is the
sweetest little pup ever! The whole family
is very very happy we got her. I take her on
walks down to the the harbor and we walk
along the docks, she loves it and is very
curious about the ocean... I tell her all
the time its a little to cold for swimming.
We cant get her to come inside, she loves
being outside and playing in the snow with
her buddies! Well hope you enjoy the
pictures. Tell everyone we say hello!! We
are getting a package ready to send down to ya here in a few days. Take care and
THANK YOU sooo much for our two WONDERFUL
LOVING and SMART BEAUTIFUL GIRLS!!!!!
Love from AK
Kaylee, Maddie,
Maverick and Dakota and the rest of the

Deadra,
We thought you might like to see some of the latest
pictures of our Penny now that she is a year old. I
have to say, she is quite stunning with her intense
colors and gorgeous coat. People do stop us to tell
us what a beautiful dog she is, and she is always
very happy to greet new friends, whether they are
people or other dogs. Last week, we took her to a
restaurant that allows dogs on their patio, and she
held her own with 3 Burmese mountain dogs! (They
were all males and, I think, quite smitten with
her.) We have been singing the praises of Horse
Creek Aussies to everyone who asks where we got her,
and we can’t thank you enough for sending her to
us. We have had many dogs but never one as smart
and much fun as Penny. She brings us so much joy
and keeps us busy! We can’t imagine what we did
before we had her!

So....OMG she's beautiful and
so well taken care of. I'm very happy I
found her through you.
Her little personality is
coming out. This morning she was running
around the house with a stuff animal...to
cute...the size of her!
Then I gave her a
wash cloth and shook it like
crazy. Her quietness is disappearing! She
has a 20 month aussie brother/babysitter.
And my daughter is able to
take to work.
We are very Happy with her and
I can tell already she is going to be
natural smart as she should be, being an
Aussie.
As she grows I will send
pictures.
Once again Thank You for
pulling it together and gettin her out to
us the same day.
Her flight was 45
minutes early, which was nice.
Thank You

Hello Deadra,
I wanted to thank you again for Jenna. She is a
wonderful pup and has all ready learned to sit , lay
down and getting better at fetching her duck. She
has quickly stolen all our hearts and has become
great friends with our two other Aussies Rebel and
Dixie . My husband has nicknamed her Purdy cause she
is sooo pretty. When I look at her face she is
looking more like her father Blu .
We often find ourselves just staring at her . Thank
you and I have and will continue to recommend
Horsecreek Aussies to anyone wanting an intelligent,
loving and beautiful puppy. I will send pictures
soon!

just beautiful. His personality is great.
He's very loving, not a big barker and easy to
train. As you can see, he is growing like a weed.
I really don't think I could have gotten a better
addition anywhere. Thank you so much for helping
with my choice and making the whole thing so
easy.

loves his big bro and takes every
opportunity to sit on things, steps,
pets, anything! We couldn't have asked
for anything more in a family pet. Hope
all is well with you and your pups.

Deadra,
I cannot tell you how much our whole family (even
my non- animal liking husband) is LOVING Abu!!!!
When I lost my Aussy of 16 1/2 years I did not
think I could ever find one even close. I
searched EVERYWHERE and every web site, breeder
etc. Abu is not my beloved
Ruffian, but as close as they get! She is
SOOO smart, already fully create trained and knows
how to sit at 9 weeks! She loves my 3 yr old son
and has a home for a LONG happy life!
Thank you,
The Backes
Abu at 8 weeks old.

Hey Deadra,
Our puppies are sooooo sweet. They've already
been in intensive training and are getting ready
to meet a new addition to our family some time
in Jan/Feb. I'm about 7 1/2 mo.'s pregnant.
Funny thing is, my husband and I were trying for
years and I finally just gave up. We got two
pups and 2 months later got pregnant. It's all
good. We absolutely love our dogs. They are
our miracles along with the new baby coming
soon. I am so grateful for them and all the
unconditional love they give.
Thanks for breeding such wonderful dogs!!!!

Hi Deadra,
I have been thinking of you. Occasionally I will get
on your web site and look at your puppies. I would
love one that looks like River's dad. But I don't
need another animal to take care of. Every time I
look at your web site I fall in love with a puppy.
Well River is a real sweet heart. She is doing
really well after her near death experience with
Chinese
dog food. She has turned out to be a
beautiful dog. She survived hurricane Ike.
She is extremely spoiled and pampered. She follows
me around and play fights with William. My husband
plays ball every night in the backyard with her. If
he isn't fast enough she gets the ball and brings it
to the back door. Today we went down to the agility
course and played there. We didn't start agility
this fall with school and then the hurricane. So we
are looking at starting it back up. She loves all
the equipment and is really fast.
My daughter says I spoil the dog more then the
kids. Often told I love the dog more then my kids.
She gets a lot of stuffed animals from Kohls.
Will send a picture soon.

Hey Deadra,
I wanted to drop you a note and tell you how happy we are
with Lyra. She is such a beautiful dog. I couldn't have
asked for a better pup! We love our Little girl! She has
made herself right at home not a peep all night! What a
good girl! I love the puppy breath! Our other dog Luna
wants to play with her something awful. She's so beautiful
and has such a sweet personality.
Thanks for making this such a positive experience...My
wife and I really appreciate everything! We would
recommend you to anyone looking for an outstanding Aussie!

Penny, our little
Kool/Jazz girl, is continuing to grow and amaze us with
just how smart she is. According to her veterinarian,
she is a very smart and extremely healthy dog. She
caught and retrieved the first Frisbee thrown her way
and would play until exhausted if we would let her. And
we have never had a sweeter dog. She always seems to be
tuned into our feelings and knows just how to make us
smile or laugh out loud by “talking” to us in that
Aussie-speak. (She obviously knows exactly what she is
saying!) Penny loves to visit our grandsons, Harrison &
Porter, and of course, tries to herd them at every
opportunity. (Here is a picture of her with them.) You
have amazing dogs, Deadra; I wish we had room for a
whole herd of them!

Dear Deadra,
We just wanted to drop you a note to
say how great Jake Is doing. He has
already learned how to sit, lay down
and give you his paw. He has also
mastered the doggie door and can go
out back by himself. He likes the
pool and has a ton of energy. He's
growing fast and looking taller
every day. We love Jake and wanted
to thank you again.

Hi, Deadra:
Just had to drop
you a line after going on your website.
Your dogs are magnificent!!! I enjoyed the
visit. I have a blue-merle aussie, named
"Cayenne" and I can say that she is just an
amazing, smart, beautiful, loving dog. I
just adore her. Keep up the good work. I
read some of your families' testimonials &
they certainly have great things to say
about your pups.
From one
Aussie lover to another!!

I just wanted to say thank you very much for selling
us this puppy. She's the sweetest puppy and just
loves all the attention she's getting. Everything
went just fine as far as picking her up at the
airport and she was just like you described her as
being. We've only had her a few days so far, but I
think she's learning a little bit on being
housebroken already. She seems to know that each
time she goes out what she has to do first. At
around 9:00 at night she will fall asleep on the
floor right by us on the couch. Last night she slept
the whole night and just seems to be very smart
about different things. Thank you again, you made
her trip here very easy. Here's a picture of her the
1st night home with us.
Thanks,

Hey Deadra:
Sophie is a Gorgeous dog. People make comments
about both the
Aussies, but her coloring and eyes stop
people in their tracks. She is a funny
dog...Loving, smart, a bit silly and a tad
stubborn...typical of female dogs.
My family adores her. Aussies are fabulous dogs
for the right people. They take commitment, but
yield loads of rewards.
Hope all is well with you.

Hey, Deadra, things are great. We love
Bubba like a child. He is so honery....loves
to chase deer and play frisbee, ride in
the mule, bubble baths, and always
happiest when playing with his buddies.
Thanks for bringing him to us!

Deadra,
This
is just to let you know how much we love
our new puppy, Bubba. He has brought so
much laughter and love into our empty nest
here at Moss Lake. We want to thank you
for being so very easy to work with and
for providing us this new bundle of joy.
Thanks again for everything.

Deadra!
Just wanted to drop you a note and
tell you how much we love Nicky...aka Prada!
She is a very happy girl and very energetic!
Since there is not much to herd in Plano... she is
keeping herself busy by herding our other dog and
our cat! She also loves to play fetch.
Nick loves hanging out with the kids in the back
when they are swimming... she has even taken a dip
or two herself! But as I am typing this to
you, she is being her loving self, sleeping,
wrapped around my
feet!
Thank you so much for everything!
We absolutely love and adore our sweet, loving,
happy and beautiful girl! We would recommend
you to anyone looking for an outstanding Aussie!

Hey Deadra,
Thank you so much for such a wonderful dog! He's a
great fit for our family,
our other dogs and cats love him. It's so
great to meet a breeder who has such high
standards. Ozzie been here almost 3 weeks and he's
potty trained, knows the word NO! (LOL) and sits
on command. He's very social and loves everyone in
the family. We have a baby pool set-up in the back
yard which he loves. His favorite thing to do is
stick his head under water and blow bubbles as he
walking in the pool. Anyone out there
thinking of buying a puppy or dog needs to talk to
you Deadra. My Vet has 4
Aussies and thinks he's really beautiful
and has a great personality due to your dogs and
the way you socialize them. Thanks
again for everything. When were ready for another
puppy we will definitely buy from you.
All our love,
Steve, Debbie, Michael and Krissy Alegria

Dear Deadra,
The girls are 3 months
old today, and they are healthy and thriving.
They have been socialized with lots of people and
other dogs and are friendly with everyone. They
are inseparable - whether they are playing,
fighting, or sleeping. It's a challenge to keep
up with them. There's never a dull moment.
Blaze has lit up my life, and Bandit has
stolen my heart. You did a wonderful job, and
we're lucky to have them.
Thank you,
Jovanna

Deadra,
I could not have asked
for a better bred dog. We got exactly what
we were looking for, an agility prospect.
This girl is very smart and willing to learn and
fast to boot.
Thanks to a
wonderful breeder who has done her homework!
Keep up the good work.

Hello Deadra,
Our puppy, Landon is doing fantastic although he
is really spoiled. He loves his new home and has
found a buddy in our other dog, a border collie.
Although I was a little leery buying a puppy
online without the benefit of actually seeing it,
other than pictures, I can honestly say that he
has exceeded all of our expectations. He was even
cuter than his online pictures. Landon is a quick
learner also and he was potty trained in about
three weeks. We would recommend you to anyone
looking for a puppy!
Thanks for checking in!

Hello!
My name is Rachel Hogue. My boyfriend Jon Jones
bought Captain Solo several months ago and I wanted
to send you some pictures of him. What a cool dog!
He's growing into a very handsome boy. He's full of
energy and definitely mischievous, but sweet as can
be. He can speak, sit, shake, and lay down, and he
also knows to sit and wait patiently at the door
before going outside. He also walks very well on a
leash.
Solo comes to my house almost daily
so he can run and play in my backyard with my
greyhounds. He quickly figured out exactly how they
like to play! He can't outrun them, but he can
corner much faster than they can and he uses it to
his advantage. He'll woof at them in the yard, play
bow, and turn and run to hide under the bush. The
greyhounds
will chase after him, and when they get bored
and walk away, Solo will run out of the bush, woof
at them again, run around the yard and back to the
bush. They all have such a great time playing
together! Just thought I'd give you an update. :)
Take care, and enjoy the pictures!

Hey Deadra,
The puppies are awesome. They slept most of the way home
and played at every pit stop. My parents, sister etc.,
the whole family is in love with them. We've taken lots
of pictures so I will be sending you some soon. I wanted
to get a variety for you. Anyway, they're doing fine.
Leo, the boy, is the instigator but Lily is the boss, sort
of. They crack me up. both are very friendly to all the
people they've met. They have wonderful dispositions and
mind me very well. Lily catches on to the whole potty
training thing a little quicker than Leo. I guess all
females develop faster than males. Anyway, we are soooo
happy with them. Thank you again for all your help.
By the way, their first vet visit was great!!! We go back
late next week for more shots.
I'll try to send you pictures tomorrow.
Thanks again, Amy

Dear Deadra
and Family of Horse Creek Aussies,
Thank you
for bringing "Keeper" into our lives, he is one
"spoiled rotten" Aussie who recently had his first
birthday,
he is our best bud. We have had a very
happy first year with
him and hope for many more!
He is a Kool / Hemi pup.

Deadra,
Penny is such a joy! She is the perfect dog, and everyone wants to
know where we got such an adorable puppy. We
can't say enough about how much we enjoyed working
with you . . . and how much I appreciate that you
always had time to answer my many questions. We
haven't had a puppy in 20 years, and we had
forgotten so much -- like, how fast puppies grow!
She loves to be outside with us, and she is already retrieving a
tennis ball. Penny also went on her first camping
trip and proved to be a real trooper. She went to
Austin and met our son Michael and then chose the
table in our camper as her napping spot.
May the
Lord bless you and keep you -- and all your pups!
And by the way, Hook 'em Horns!

Dear Deadra & Jeff
We love our
girl! She has made herself right at home.
Last night, Rick just couldn't quite bring
himself to put her in the crate all night,
so he put her up on the bed, and she went
right down to the end of the bed, curled up
and went to sleep. Twice during the night,
she woke Rick up by panting in his ear. And
after he took her out, she came right back
and went to sleep again. Not a peep all
night! What a good girl! I've attached a
picture of her with her chew toy and
blanket. She was so exhausted that she just
fell asleep right on the spot. (Yesterday
was a very big day for her.)
Thank you so
much for choosing us to raise Penny. We
will continue to send you pictures.
It was
great meeting you both, and we will not
hesitate to recommend you to everyone who
wants to know where we got this adorable
puppy.

Hello Lady!!!
Just wanted to drop a note and say "hello" and to make
sure I tell you that I LOVE my dogs!!! AND so does
everyone at the dog park!!! If you want to check it
out, go to
http://www.ossiningdogpark.com
The vet visit went well. They totally got A+'s. She
was so impressed with Mav. He's so mellow, he just sat
there and let her check his teeth, ears, stomach,
everything and let her give him shots and the worming
medication. Maia, on the other hand, was a little more
fidgety, but she sat through it pretty well too. There
was nothing wrong with them...Two perfectly healthy
pups...No worms, no nothing...
Deadra, they are soooo smart. They sit on command and
Mav's already learned to shake hands (give me his
paw)....Unbelievable... They are so easy to work
with...
Did I tell you I LOVE my dogs!! Thank you, thank you,
thank you!!
I'll be in touch. Until then, stay well!

Here's our Cowboy
all grown up. He is an absolute joy, such a
loving boy. He loves to please, and has been
a wonderful companion to my husband who had
open heart surgery in November. Cowboy seemed
to know that something was wrong, and wanted
to be close to Jeff. He is beautiful inside
and out. Thank you so much for such a
wonderful addition to our family.

Hi Deadra,
I just wanted to drop you a note
to let you know what a wonderful dog
Stryker is. Tori (Victoria) is doing so
well taking care of him and he is so attentive to
her every move...it is so cute. He whines a bit
when she walks out of the room. I get the
opportunity from time to time to "puppy sit" and
what a thrill that is for me. As soon as I'm
through with school and get settled in my new job,
you can be assured that I'm making another trip to
the
Horse Creek Ranch to pick up an addition to
my family. What a wonderful job you have done with
your breeding tactics. It was such a pleasure
meeting you and your husband. I look forward in
seeing you again...very soon!

Stryker
is doing so good Deadra! I couldn't have asked for a

He is so smart and eager to learn everyday. There is never
a dull moment with him!! Everywhere I go he has to come
along... I get so many compliments on how handsome he is!
I will definitely be get another one from you!
Thank you so much for such a
wonderful pup!!
I'll keep you updated on his progress ;)

I did look at your Annie. I showed
her to my husband and the kids too. She's
a red-headed beauty! If she's anything like
Shiloh, I wouldn't be able to part with her.
Shy-shy has one of the neatest Aussie
personalities I've ever had on the place and I
just adore her. If she's any indication of what
you get out of your stud dog "Kool," I'd have
trouble parting with any of his babies. She's a
talker! She does that growl talk that only
Aussies can do and I love it! It just cracks me
up. She's smaller than my other dogs, but she's
bodied out and has a beautiful coat. Her
conformation is very square for her size, and she
has a very authoritative attitude. When she barks
or growls at something, she sounds bigger than any
dog on the place. She may be small, but she is
mighty!!! She's my total cowgirl! My Bud is the
monster dog on the place (Silk's daddy) and he's
huge, but when he and Shiloh are next to each
other, she doesn't look small. I'll have to
photograph them side by side so you can see how
good they look. All I can say is you have awesome
pups!!!
Terri - Bellahara South Aussies

Hey Deadra,
Just wanted to let you know that in the week that
I’ve had Maia and Maverick, the incredible joy and
happiness they’ve brought me. The way they bring
the laughter out in me while playing and romping
with my other aussie, Marley, the way they’ve
grown attached to us, the way we’ve grown attached
to them, the way they express their individual
spirits, their energy, their unconditional
love…just the way they look at me after they wake
up from a nap…the way they waddle as they’re
running and playing outside in the piles of snow…
How to describe a Horsecreek Aussie pup? Their
physical beauty is clearly apparent. With simply
checking out your web site, it’s instantly
visible. but now that I have them with me and can
hold and touch them, they're physical attributes
are overwhelming. They are exquisite in their
coloring, the luxuriousness of their coats, their
markings, the rich intelligence in their eyes, the
strength, pride, dignity and grace they possess as
demonstrated in the statuesque manner in which
they stand or hold/tilt their heads when spoken
to, and, of course, how quick witted they are.
Made me realize that your web site was just the
appetizer and I’m privileged to
personally witness the intense
beauty your dogs possess. They've amazed me every
day I’ve had them. They have strong herding
instincts, have already learned their names and
come right away when I call them. They clearly
have their own little personalities. Maverick, in
all his beauty and glory is so laid back, anything
goes - unless his little sister or Marley start to
really push his buttons, then he shows me that he
can definitely hold his own. He has also already
learned to sit for treats and is such a ham, he
actually poses for photos!! He loves it when I
pick him up and I love it when he gently snuggles
with me…cold little nose in the crook of my neck
while giving me kisses. Maia doesn’t realize her
size and loves to stir up trouble with the cat and
the big dogs. While a tiny little thing, she’s so
independent and determined, with a strong bark and
true sense of self. She’s as sharp as a whistle
and learns really quickly. I was at my brother’s
over the holidays and he has these bushes that
border a portion the property. Little Maia very
easily zig-zagged right to left around them, which
gives a clear indication that she’ll do extremely
well in agility. She’s already got that part down.
In short, I’ve been looking at your dogs for about
2-3 years and now that I have these two,
everything I thought about them has been
solidified. What amazing creatures they are and
how fortunate am I to have them in my life. It all
makes me realize that if anyone is looking for
truebeauty in this world, they
need only to look at your dogs. They truly are one
of this earth’s gorgeous and marvelous creatures.
Lovely, wonderful animals. I know I have true
companions and loyal friends for life - - not just
with the dogs, but you too! - - And I have you to
thank for that.
I’m astounded and am sure I'll continue to be. You
will never know the extent of my gratitude. Thank
you for bringing them in to my life and I wish you
and yours a peaceful and joyous holiday season!

Hi Deadra,
Just wanted to let you know that Logan, a blue merle
from Kool and Anna is doing great. A very smart dog
who is loyal, smart and always looking to play
frisbee. He is turning out awesome. The beach is
his
favorite place to run. I have enjoyed him so much
that I'm interested in another. A girl this time, so
let me
know of future breedings. Thanks again for a top
notch dog, Logan turns heads everywhere we go.

Deadra,
I wanted to
drop you a note and tell you how happy we
are with Keira. She is such a beautiful dog.
She looks so much like her mother (Maggie).
She is so smart and gets along so well with
my other dogs. I have attached a picture so
you can see how much she has grown. Once
again thanks so much.
Hi Deadra,
I hope you
are doing well. I wanted to
share with you a photo of
“Rocco”. He’s getting bigger.
This little guy is the best dog I’ve ever had.
Everyone that meets him can’t
stop smiling… he is so friendly
and well behaved – all my
friends offer to hang out with
him. He loves the attention
from everyone and gets along
with other dogs. He loves
playing catch at the beach.
He is a great companion living in the city. Thanks for
the wonderful breeding you
provide.

Just wanted to let you know Maya is doing great! The
little girl has a lot of spunk but definitely has a mellow
side to her. Akira (our black tri) and Maya play a
lot and sleep together by choice. She is growing
very fast and her coloring has changed quite a bit.
She is a wonderful pup.

Hi Deadra,
Just a quick note before we leave for the MRO.
I can't tell you how much I LOVE my
Shy-shy! Thanks for sending me such a phenomenal,
li'l darlin'! She's the most awesome little girl!
She's got everybody else on the place jealous cuz
she's become my right-hand special baby! Lucy's
tryin' hard to adjust to having to share the
spotlight-now I've got two "glue-baby" girls! Shy
is soooo smart, athletic and BEAUTIFUL!
Many thanks,

Hi Deadra,
Just a quick note to update you on our precious
new addition. We are having a blast with our
little guy. He is energetic , loving and strong.
Took him to his first vet visit last week and as
we suspected, he is very healthy. Everyone we
encounter is an awe with him. He loves the
attention from everyone and is very friendly.
My girlfriend brought her 2 year-old mini female
Aussie to our house and Bleu just loved playing
with her; He actually thought he was the bigger of
the two. It was hysterical watching him interact
with her dog.
I haven't had the opportunity to take him to the
park yet but will be doing that soon. We play
fetch at home and about an hour everyday he gets
this burst of energy that is unstoppable. We get
such a kick out of him. I think I've lost 2 lbs
since I've had him. Cant complain, I was looking
forward to losing a few lbs and he may be my best
diet plan. Ha ha.
He is a very smart little guy. Knows exactly what
you want from him. Housetraining is still in the
works but definitely making progress. He has
really bonded with everyone at home wonderfully.
With me ,he is un-attachable.
Thanks for the wonderful breeding you do and for
the professional way you dealt with everything.
You were wonderful in updating us with pictures
and responding to all our fickleness.
We are very ecstatic with Bleu and I believe its
reciprocal. He has adjusted wonderfully.
I will be sending you pictures of him just as soon
as I can; Its hard to pin this little guy down.
Take care,
Lissett, Donnie and Bryan
Tuesday, June 19, 2007
Deadra,
Our new addition, Tusker, is a feisty little one. He and our 8
month old puppy Jambo are playing like best friends
and I do not know who gets the best of who. Tuskers
little teeth are sharp and Jambo knows it. Our older
dog Blue is very gentle and good with Tusker.
Tusker arrived at about 5 pounds and is already up to almost 8
pounds. He goes for his first vet visit tomorrow.
Margaret and I can not thank you enough...Tusker has enriched our
life.
Thanks, Wayne

Hi Deadra,
Jeremy and I are having so much fun with our new little
man Logan! He came potty trained I swear, he hasn't
have one accident yet!
Jeremy and I were at the pond yesterday with him,
Jeremy was fishing about 12ft from shore in his
waders and little Logan paddled all the way out to
him without being called. Such a cutie.
He had his first vet visit today and everything is
perfect, thanks for breeding such a great dog. He is
so well behaved, soo curious and smart and of course
soo cute.
You may be hearing from the Captain of the boat Jeremy
works on, we have him hooked on the breed. Hope all
is well, thanks so much again.

Hi Deadra,
Hope all is well in OK....Just wanted to show you
how "Keeper" is the "star" of our new pet business.
You can see him
here with my three kids on the
website. We absolutely love him and he is a hit
at his puppy training class. He sits, does down
stay, gives paw, and even rings a bell that I placed
on the back door for him when he wants to go
outside. You sent us a little genius. He is now
about 17 lbs and is so handsome. We took him to a
local agility competition to watch and he was so
well behaved, other "dog people" loved him and were
so impressed. The first reaction from all was "he is
not from around here, he is too good looking and has
good manners to be from VA" LOL
Again a million thank you's...
Liz Bly and Crew
I love my new furry
bday present

Good Morning Deadra,
The quick update is DiO'Gee is bringing joy to
every aspect of our lives! He is smart, fun and
oh so handsome....(he stops everyone in their
tracks when we are at the park). His ability to
respond to what we want him to do is uncanny!
He has learned so much in such a short amount of
time!
Thanks for our good friend and good dog!
With warmth,

Dear Deadra,
Just a note to let you know how happy we are
with our new Aussie. His name is "Keeper" and he
is the smartest puppy we have ever met. He is a
healthy, active little guy who in the last few
days has fit right in here in VA with our
family. The kids are having a blast teaching him
how to play soccer!
He is using his crate well, walking on a leash,
and doing great with housebreaking. Everyone he
has met comments on how "good looking" he is and
the first question asked is "where did you get
him?"
Thank you so much for being a responsible and
caring Aussie breeder! We will send photos
soon!
Thanks again,
The Bly Family

Deadra,
We just wanted to let you know what a joy he has been to us over
the last few months. He just finished his first 8
week course of obedience training and begins his new
course this Saturday. He is very smart and
is shaping into an extremely handsome young adult.
We will send you some photos soon.
I hope all is well in OK.
Thanks again for such a beautiful puppy,

Hi Deadra,
I got the little black bi out of Kool and Anna. She
is doing great. Such a smart little girl. I am
starting her in obedience in March and then we
are planning for agility next. I think she will be
great at it.
I looked in the kitchen yesterday and she was
standing on the table, jumped right up there like it
was nothing! She is really a clown and loves to talk
to you, like her mom. She is so much fun. She is
getting along great with our other two aussies and
is a wonderful house dog. She was a little shy at
first but has came right out of it with lots of love
and attention. It is good to hear from you, take
care and we'll stay in touch. I'll let you know how
obedience classes turn out.
Thank you for such a wonderful little addition to
our family,

Dear
Deadra,
I will send a picture of Haley soon. She is doing
fine and growing like a weed. She loves to play and
herds the goats when they get out of the pen. She is
such a joy to have. Thank you so much!!
Take care, Marilyn

Deadra,
Thank you for the great job you did while Ruby was a
little pup!!! What a wonderful dog she is!
Ruby is so playful and just as smart as she can
be!! Our male dog, Adobe, adores her.
You did such a good job sending pictures of her when
she was in your care. Every time I
asked for a new picture you didn't hesitate to
send one right out. I have pictures of her
at every age thanks to you!!!
I would definitely recommend you to anyone interested
in one of your puppies!! THANKS FOR A JOB WELL DONE!!!

Hope you
and your family had a good Christmas.
Tess will
be 1 year old in February and she is
continuing to develop into a fine dog. She
always has a happy face and is still the
sweetest dog I've ever owned. She is so
smart. She loves people and loves to play
Frisbee and has become quite good at
catching it in the air. Although we don't
use her as a working dog, I can see it in
her as she and my other Aussie take turns
herding each other around the yard. She
still has a laid back disposition and is
always willing to accept commands, whether
it's to stay, or come indoors when you
call. She has also become quite a talker
and will fuss at you if you're away too long
or she wants you to hurry and let
her outside to play.
I can't say enough about
the good job you've done in breeding dogs
with good temperament, disposition and
intelligence. I would highly recommend your
dogs to anyone who wants a good, loving dog
for their family.
I have attached a couple
of pictures so you can see how she's
growing.
Thanks
for a great dog!

I have known
Deadra @ Horse Creek Aussies for several years.
This wonderful breed of dogs brought us to know each
other. She is a very easy going, kind person. Her
pups have great bloodlines and are very socialized,
happy and healthy. I am very pleased and thankful to
have a chance to own some of her wonderful dogs. All
the pups from Horse Creek, I have been around, are
very intelligent and full of Life. You'll be
glad you picked a pup from Deadra.

Deadra,
Just a note to tell you Emma is awesome!
We know it is a tribute to your care in the
breeding process. You have handled the
entire transaction very professionally. I
would highly recommend any future owners to
purchase one of your puppies. Emma is very
smart, agile, and quite beautiful.

Just wanted
to thank you again for our darling Addie! She is so
precious, and we couldn't be happier! She has
already learned several commands, and is just so
smart! She is fitting right in here, and is such a
big part of the family.
We took her up to North Georgia this past weekend to a
festival. She had a ball, and that is where we took
the pictures of her and our youngest son, Jackson.
I will send you some with her and the older two
soon.
I hope all is well with you and your family!
I'll be back in touch soon.
Best Regards,
John and Denise Howe

Thank you
so much for the puppy. He is a wonderful dog.
He gets along great with our son and our other
Australian Shepherd. We were happy to do
business with you.

Dear Deadra,
We are excited to say that Kera is doing very
well. Kera is now 9 weeks old and we have
almost had her for a week. We have been amazed
how fast she has adapted to her new home. We
have been very surprised at how fast Kera’s
ability to learn and how agile she is. The
second day she was here, she discovered our
handrail with spindles. As we sat in amazement,
she weaved herself through them. We hope to
setup an agility course in the future for her to
play.
Also, Kera’s Vet checkup went very well. First,
everyone loved her sweet personality. But, most
of all, our Veterinarian was very impressed with
your worming and health care of your puppies.
He was very happy that Kera’s test result was
negative for worms.
During Kera’s week here, she has enjoyed going
to the parks, visiting the farm, and playing
with her favorite Jolly Ball toy.
Thanks again,
Stephen and Melinda Martin

I love the 2 of them. They came paper trained
and that was unreal. Never had pups do
that. They have impressed my husband so
much that he has done nothing but rave on how
good they are. They have already learned their
names and come when I call them. They are real
lovers too. Dusty (little girl) will crawl into
my lap and just cuddle if she has her way.
Dakota follows me around so I have to be careful
where I step. They are great pups.
Thanks, Vickie

I just
have to tell you that those puppies are the most
impressive puppies!
The whole litter is soooooo precious. I hope they
all go to excellent homes! I like to look at the
puppies photos on puppy find and each puppy that you
have listed is just outstanding! Congratulations on
your exceptional litter!

Deadra, Little
Chief did great his entire way home. Got in about
midnight and he adjusted very quickly to his new
surroundings. We are very happy with our decision.
Look forward to sending you some photos as he
grows. Thank you for your time yesterday. If I ever
hear of someone looking for a pup…I will definitely
refer you to them.
Take care, Carrie Cain

Aussies are a wonderful breed for
attentive and active dog owners and the puppy my
husband and I adopted into our family from Buffing
Australian Shepherds has proved to be no exception.
She has been very healthy-sometimes breeders don't
deworm their puppies and it can get pretty ugly, but
our little girl didn't have any problems. Cayenne is
a beautiful dog-she meets all the Aussie standards
and her disposition is so wonderful. She is
attentive, smart, dying to please, always trying to
cuddle, and always ready to play. We introduced her
into our home which already included a two-year-old
Aussie and they are the best playmates. Neither dog
has ever shown any hint of aggression-if another dog
wants their toys, well, it's just time to go find
something else to do. Cayenne is a sweetheart and we
are not disappointed with our decision. Make sure to
support good breeders not back-door breeders or
puppy farms-Buffing is a good option.

Deadra,
Just wanted to drop you a few lines and let you know we
couldn't be happier with our puppy we got from you.
"Shelby" has made herself a part of our family. She is a
sweet, smart and beautiful dog. We had never had an
Australian shepherd before her and now we wouldn't want
any other breed! They are extremely quick learners and
have beautiful temperaments. Shelby is great with my 7
year old son. He isn't always the easiest kid to be around
but she is always glad to see him & loves to play with
him. They are not yappy dogs and easy going enough to get
along with other dogs, cats & livestock on the farm. I
can't wait until she gets old enough to train. I am sure
she will be an asset to our cattle handling. Thanks again
and I am sure we will be back again for another pup!

Hey Deadra
I wanted to write a short note about Blu....he is a sweet
fellow and our family is VERY pleased to have him her at
Independence Kennel. He is developing into a very nice
show prospect...Good bone, nice head, good ear set..his
gait is looking wonderful...But most of all, it is his
personality that is the most noticeable...he is a calm
fellow that never jumps on the kids and just loves to be
with us. He rides in the car right next to who ever is
driving...kinda like he is going to tell us how to do
it...but in a gentlemen sort of way.
Good job on this guy!!
And thanks so much for letting him come to us!!

Hi,
Becky is doing great. She is such a sweet, lovable pup. She is very
intelligent, and is almost leash trained. She is very
active and sociable. She has learned not to cry whenever
she is in her cage. Like all our Aussies we have had, she
is very trainable. She has already attempted to herd our
sheep! She is a playful, active puppy with a very sweet
disposition. She is so beautiful too!
Thanks for the wonderful puppy!

Hi Deadra,
SKY is not laid-back at all now---
"She is delightfully busy , with an enchanting sweet
disposition , checking everything out with her sharp
intelligence and loving life!"
Sky loves everyone she meets and is leash-trained
now at 10 weeks. Sky is about 12 lbs now--boy does
she love to eat!
I haven't taken her to stores or parks yet, but will
soon--she is terrified of loud noises, like cars,
lawn mowers, etc. so we are exposing her to vacuum
cleaner, other loud noises while from her crate or
holding her so she will feel safe--but I bet she
sure does have the herding instinct down pat--as we
get herded quite a lot so do the cats.
Looking forward to seeing KOOL's pups---my son and
wife loved our new baby SKY---they have a black -bi
male 11 months old now--"Murphy" and live near
Houston.

I love the dog we got
from you.
She loves kids and adults. She isn't aggressive but
apprehensive.
I don't think I would own another breed.
On top of everything she is beautiful.
Everyone comments on how pretty she is!

Hi, Phil bought a puppy from you in
April. This is Roo. He is such a great
dog! He has a big (little) brother Rusty
a Mini Schnauzer. They are best friends.
They love to chase the cat. Roo now
weighs 24 pounds. He is getting big!
Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Hello Deadra,
Cayenne is doing fabulous. She is so sweet – she has a lot of energy but she also wants to just cuddle and kiss you.
People stop us on the street all the time and she sits nicely while they love her to death. She is best friends with our blue merle (2 years) and they play together all day (except for when they are napping together).
She doesn’t like to fetch yet – she wants to herd - lay low and wait to spring on the other dog while she’s fetching. It’s so funny.
Best, Wendy
Tess
is just a wonderful pup. She
has the best personality and has
really captured our hearts. We are
so glad we got her, and couldn't
imagine her not being here.
I was waiting until she was 6 months before sending you pictures so
you could see what she looks like
pretty much grown. She developed a
red sheen at about 4 months but it
has gone away except for behind her
ears where it is noticeably red.
We have really enjoyed our dogs and have considered getting a blue
merle but man them rascals love to
play and I'm not sure we could keep
3 of 'em busy!
I'm attaching a couple of pictures and will send more as time goes
by.
We visit your web site every few weeks just to look at the new
pups.........Ya never know, one day
ya might be sending us another one.
with
your and your family, I'm sure it is cause OSU is
kicking tail this year, Ha Ha!!! Just wanted to
drop you a picture of Kash. He is doing great. He
has matured so much and is one of the smartest Aussies
we have ever owned. We just recently moved into a
new house and he has lots more running room now than he
had before and he loves it. Coming through the
woods he runs like a reindeer, every time he leaps, I
bet it's 20 foot before he hits the ground
again....amazing and makes my chest bow out.....cause
I'm like, that's my boy!! Ha Ha!!
breeders,
we
couldn't be
happier with Horse Creek Aussies. We have loved working
with Deadra and feel like she has really helped us to
understand the breed and pick just the right puppies for
our family. Our puppies are
everything we hoped they
would be, it was obvious that the puppies were socialized
and well taken care of, upon arrival they came bounding
out of the crate!
Thank You Horse Creek Aussies YOU ROCK!
and playful character. The judge in Puebla said "I
don't like Lucca's character but she is so
beautiful, I will give her 2nd place"
“Ozzy”
is doing incredibly well! When
he arrived by plane he was happy and ready to get out of
his crate. He
is out of “Blu” and “Silk”
and is about 4 months old now and so very handsome. His
colors are so rich and vibrant!
He
is healthy, energetic,
loving and plays all day with our 2-1/2 year old black
lab
“Cody”. They are inseparable! “Ozzy” is a typical
at open gateways , but what she does the best is
work in the show barn when we are leading to and
from the wash rack and getting them to come out
of their pens. She is wonderful because she is seen and
not heard. She never barks and gets too rough and that
is exactly how we want her to be. She also attends every
High School Baseball game of Dillon's ... they have
deemed her the team mascot even though we are already
the Leopards. She is loved by so many others besides us
that she has no idea just exactly how much she is
loved. 
are
having a White Christmas, bet that is nice and
pretty. Kash is doing well, 1 year old and kinda
like a kid in the terrible 2's, He is truly
something, but well loved. Don't have to worry
about anyone coming in the yard, he is
protective, I think the power company meter
reader just guesses at our reading for the
electric bill, HaHa!!! Take care and be safe
during the holidays
the
weather in Miami but he is getting used to it
little by little. He is full of energy and
loves to play with his brothers Brownie and
Duke. His herding instincts are coming out and
he plays hiding go seek like a kid. He's amazing
and so smart. Thank you for this wonderful
dog!!!

(like when she's antagonizing the poor cat!). She has
the sweetest disposition I've seen - she gets so excited
to see me when I come home from work or riding my
horse. She runs up to me and leaps into my lap, licks
me all over my face until I'm nice and clean, and gives
me several what I call "roos" (roo-roo-roo!). I love
it! 
She gets
along great with all the other
