Mott Ranch
Australian Shepherds and AQHA Horses
Chico is doing great. He is so smart and loves people and other animals. The other night my husband and I were eating dinner on the couch in front of the TV. Chico brought a toy to me and wanted to play. I said no Chico, I am going to finish dinner and then get my pajamas on. A few second later Chico showed up with my pajamas and put them on the couch beside me. Since Chico was little he would come in the bathroom at night when it is time to put on my pajamas. I always talk to him and tell him it is time to put on my pajamas. He pays attention to everything and misses little. I am always finding new words that Chico understands and I did not even realize it. Chico lives in Texas (Chico is a Piper x JD Puppy) |
| Dear Jenny, "Silver is spry, smart, and sweet. Aussies are an energetic breed, but he can be wonderfully calm, our "mellow fellow." It is clear how much care was put into rearing him, because he adapts easily to changing environments and new people. Mott Ranch's family involvement really shows when he is around kids. He's so good looking that they all want to pet him. He's charming. We're going to do agility training with him because he is already trying some of the moves. When we get another Aussie, we'll go back to Mott Ranch. --Tristan & Karen" Captions for the photos: Starting at the Left photo (in chair): "Silver at 3 months", 2nd photo "He took up agility all by himself," 3rd photo "Silver at 4 months" and 4th photo "Silver at 6 months." Silver lives in Tucson, AZ (Silver is a Piper x JD Puppy) |

| Sara’s sleeping under my desk right now, so I thought it would be appropriate to send you an update on her progress. We couldn’t be happier. She’s just a little love. I can’t tell you how surprised and delighted we were when we opened your CD of pictures. What a treasure. And, you can let your kids know that the separation blanket you made is her favorite. She plays with it endlessly. As you know, this is our third Aussie, but I have to tell you, Sara is REALLY bright. We’ve had very few potty accidents. We always leave her leash on the knob of the closet door. Without any encouragement on our part, she’s decided that when she needs to go potty, she brings us the leash. Let me tell you, when we see the leash running through the house, we are both on the move. It took only one morning of encouragement, and she is already bringing in the morning paper, without having to be coached. She saw her first snow, but it was the really sloppy slushy stuff, so she wasn’t the slightest bit impressed. Update 11-16-2011 Well, last week-end we celebrated Sara’s first birthday. It’s fitting that she was born close to Thanksgiving. First of all, we are thankful everyday that she’s part of our family and second, I’ve never seen a dog who loves to eat so much. She eats everything! You really get the impression she was raised on a farm – veggies are her favorite. She is really a sweet, sweet pup. She never had to be house broken, she’s never chewed anything in the house, and on the two (yes, only two) occasions where we had to really scold her, she wanted to curl up and die. We felt awful, and she was so apologetic, it was painful. Just to let you know, her legs never did get real long, but the length of her body makes up for it, she can counter surf with the best of them, but she only looks, doesn’t steal. And, she’s absolutely the strongest Aussie I have ever seen. When she decides to pull the leash, you’d best be planted firmly, but we’re working on that. She’s not only strong in body, but strong willed as well. She’s not afraid to tell you when she wants something. She can really sass back with this voice that sounds like she’s trying to talk. Unfortunately, it’s really funny, so she usually gets her way. And her markings have only improved with age – she’s as pretty as pretty can be and everyone who sees her comments on how beautiful she is, but being the tom-boy she is, this doesn’t go to her head. All in all, we could not be happier, and we thank you again for bringing Sara into our lives. Thanks again for everything! Jeanine Sara lives in Washington (Sara is a Piper x Cooper Puppy) |
| Hi Jenny Hope you and your family had a nice Christmas and New Year! I thought I would send you a few pics of Sundance so you can see what a handsome young man he has turned into. His split face is very representative of his personality. His dark side represents his strong, demanding personality that fears nothing. While his light side represents a sweet, loving, gentle boy with lots of kisses to offer, especially in the morning. He has turned into quite a hiking partner too, he can't wait to hit the trailhead pretty much daily. He exceeds in his puppy class and there isn't much he doesn't pick up just by doing it once or twice. We just love him to death and can't say thank you enough for such a wonderful boy.

| Thank you Jenny and Mott Ranch for our Rani! Not only is she beautiful, she is lovey, playful and very smart! Because I live out of state, I many wonderful pictures too. I was worried about the plane trip for Rani - Jenny assured me she had done this many times before; no worries - Rani arrived safely and there were absolutely no problems. If I decide to get another Aussie (and Aussies are my favorite breed) I will definitely go back to Mott Ranch! Rani lives in Ohio (Rani is a Piper x Cooper Puppy) |
| We are enjoying Marble...he's a terrific dog!! He and I are having fun exploring the area, taking a couple of long walks every day, and making time for several hikes a week. We're fortunate to have so many trails nearby! At 12 weeks (last weekend), he weighed 22 pounds, so he's growing quickly. The vet says he's a very healthy pup! He and I had a private session with a trainer two weeks ago, so we both are doing better with basics; naturally, he's a quick study :-) In about three more weeks, we'll begin obedience classes. Take care and THANK YOU for all you do!!! Marble lives in Arizona (Marble is a Piper x Cooper Puppy) |
| Quincy is the BEST puppy ever! He is so smart, clever and has the best personality. He is by far the goofiest dog, we've been around and has a great sense of humor! He loves learning new tricks. The vet couldn't believe how many commands he knows at such a young age and was very impressed. Quincy is also a huge fan of people and other animals. He gets so excited every time he gets to meet someone new! We have had so many compliments on him. Everyone he encounters says he is the cutest puppy they have even seen and love his tri color markings (he is getting lots of new brown markings). I think he is going to look just like his Dad Cooper. He has been such an easy pup to raise, we already have our eyes on your web site looking for a companion for Quincy! Thanks again for everything, Quincy brings so much joy and happiness to our lives! Quincy lives in Arizona (Quincy is a Piper x Cooper Puppy) |
| Hi Jenny, I wanted to give you an update on our beloved Kibo - Cooper & Arrow litter from last summer. The pictures show what a beautiful dog he has become. I take him out in public and get soooo many comments on, "what a handsome boy he is"! The first pic is him at 6 weeks (you took it)....thank you for sending us these precious pictures. The second pic is him at 7 months on top of Camelback mountain. From powder puff to mountain goat....what a climber he is. In addition to hiking with us, Kibo is doing very well in his agility classes. He also met Tanner (half brother - loves to give kisses. In a year or two, we will be back to Mott Ranch looking for another Aussie companion for Kibo.loves to give kisses.

| Update: March 24th 2011 - Sadie has her Delta Society Evaluation this Sunday to be in the therapy Canine Program. Wish us luck! Sadie is wonderful. She passed her AKC Canine Good Citizen @ 1 year of age. We are in our second class of Agility and she's done some fly ball training. She's the star of the classes. We hike about five miles everyday and then hang out for a while at the local Starbucks. She is so Sadie is 43 pounds. I feed her Wild Salmon dog food and give her an Omega 3 w/fish oil daily. She basically doesn't shed. She gets to swim almost daily. She loves the water and shows no fear of anything. Sadie lives in Tucson, AZ (Sadie is an Arrow x Stryker Puppy) |
| We purchased "Riley" (Riley Boots Stryker - officially) from you in May 2008 when he was two days old (born May 7, 2008). He was in a litter of 4, and the only male blue merle. You later told us he was the pick of the litter. He has turned out to be the most wonderful dog and I thought I would share some photos (3 Thank you again for bringing this joy into our lives. I hope you and your family are doing well. Riley lives in North Phoenix, AZ (Riley is an Sandy x Stryker Puppy) |
| Hi, I bought my dog Ranger almost two years ago from Mott Ranch. My family and I love him to death and are so very greatful. I thought you would like to see some recent pictures of him. Thanks again. Ranger lives in AZ (Ranger is a Sandy x Stryker Puppy |
| Muffet came over to visit us for a few days while her owners went out of town. She is such a great pup and we had so much fun with her. She is so much like her mother Arrow and loves to go and play. Her owners said that they don't know what life would be without her. They say that she is one of the smartest puppies they have ever owned. Any trick they train her, she learns within a few lessons. Muffet is a big part of their life and they keep telling me how much they love her. Muffet lives in Colorado (Muffet is a Arrow x Cooper Puppy) |
| Hi Jenny! I wanted to send you an updated picture of Rain. Rain is just over 2 years old now and is more fun every day. She loves to play Frisbee, do agility and hike. She has such a personality and we’re so happy to have her in our life! The attached picture was taken on Monday, April 4, 2011 on a walk to the top of the hills in our neighborhood. It’s one of my favorite pictures of her. Rain lives in Henderson, Nevada (Rain is a Sandy x Stryker Puppy) |
Just wanted to let you know that Sprite--we've named her Daisy--is doing great! She has learned her name and 'sit' already, and enjoyed the big snow we got this weekend. Thanks for the great pup! Daisy lives in Flagstaff, AZ (Dasiy is a Deuce x Kate Puppy) |
| Just an update. Izzy is an amazing puppy! Super smart. Learning to swim, learning many tricks and loves to cuddle and play. She knows sit, stay, lay down, crawl, shake left, shake right, paws up, fetch, rollover, the name of at least 5 toys and working on much more! Healthy as ever, I have got a collection of her baby teeth now and her new coat just started coming in. You weren't kidding though. She has a super active jaw!!

| I wanted to email you some pictures and update you on 'Buck', now named Bolo. He is an awesome puppy, very chilled out at times but also very playful and rambunctious at other times. I can tell that he is one smart cookie and picks up so well on tone of voice and he already responds to his name which happened so fast. He gets along great with our other dog and is fairly gentle with the cats but does try to initiate play with them at times. Dragging his blanket out of his crate is great fun for him too! He's going to the vet this week for his second set of shots. We haven't taken him anywhere yet but will once his shots are finished. I registered him already and his full name is Mott's Be On the Lookout. I have been brushing him here and there getting him used to being groomed. I did switch his food since we don't have a Costco here. He is now eating Taste of the Wild and gets one NuVet wafer per day. I also give him a little cottage cheese each day for calcium. Overall, he is doing really well. He is still very vocal while in the crate but does settle down after a bit. I hope you enjoy the pictures! Bolo lives in Montana (Bolo is a Deuce x Rusty Puppy) |
| I wanted to let you know how baby is - we call him Simon. He is very happy and growing like a weed-he loves his food now and eats 3 times a day. Potty training is going as well as I can expect, sometimes he goes to the door, sometimes not! :) He does NOT like his crate as it keeps him from me though he is sleeping through the night now, finally. We love him, needless to say! He is soooo smart and is learning very quickly how to be where I am all the time. He jumps the baby gate and is on all of the furniture and our bed - where Simon wants to be is where he is. He has the bulldogs where he wants them as well - he snarls and barks if they get too rough and sometimes runs to me when he gets a little hurt! They all love him for the most part as he is not "bully" and rough like they are - I am pleased with everyone's acceptance of him. He does love to chase the cats however, they don't find that very amusing. He spends most of his days following me around, chewing toys or lying on the air condition vent - his favorite place!! I can see all of his potential already in his gate and his obvious ability to jump and run! :) He is just what I wanted and we are all happy - thank you! I will keep you posted periodically and include pics now and then. Hope all is well - cant wait to see pics of the new litter when they arrive! Simon lives in Iowa (Simon is a Deuce x Rusty Puppy) |
| like to be warm and she lets you know about it. She is very head strong and gets testy at times, but all in all she is adapting well. She can sit and shake and knows the word NO! well most of the time. We could not be happier! Brizzie lives in Flagstaff, AZ (Brizzie is a Deuce x Rusty Puppy) |
| Hi Jenny! We got Kaya (Susan) from you in March. I wanted to share a picture with you and tell you that Kaya is the most wonderful dog we've ever had. She is very loving and she has really helped me get over my dog bite incident. We will likely get another puppy from you at some point! Thank you for such a phenomenal puppy!!!! Kaya lives in North Carolina (Kaya is a Arrow x Gambit 2011 puppy) |
He is wonderful with our kids and all other’s that come in and out of our busy home. We even had a small toddler fall out of her lawn chair right on him and he was un-phased…I loved it! One photo is of Marshall and Walker , 4, playing on a lawn toy… Marshall was catching the water as it sprayed out when Walker jumped on it. Bechler, 5, has been found snuggled up on Marshall ’s belly while they relax in front of the TV. He doesn’t care much for the horses and I am hoping he never learns the hard way. The other photos are of his sister Dixie (13 lb mix) and him on a pine needle bed that he discovered camping…he would stir up the pine needles for a nice cushion bed…did I say how savvy he is? We ask Marshall to sit at the door before coming in the house and also while we dish up his food. I think I had to ask him twice to do that and after that it was part of his routine. Smart boy! So far this summer we have been to our ranch several times, camping twice, one river trip (he loves the raft and his new life jacket), and to friends where he has always been a gentleman every time. People can’t believe he is only a pup. Marshall lives in Idaho ( Marshall is a Arrow x Gambit 2011 Puppy) |
