What A Wonderful Thing

I have waited years to get to this event and it most definitely hasn’t disappointed. Breeding dogs has always been a dream of mine as I have always loved watching dogs work at a job they were bred to do. At first I wanted to breed border collies but after we got our first Aussie I knew then that they were the breed for me. Olive my first Aussie wasn’t the one I wanted to start with as I wanted to breed red Aussies. My next Aussie Terra only confirmed that this was the breed for me. Terra got me through some of the hardest times I have been through in my life and I might not be here if it weren’t for her. Terra remains by my side as my service dog and will have no litters of her own. This brings me to Chili the little red girl who has exceeded every one of my expectations and stolen my family’s hearts. Chili works like a dream but also has that wonderful off switch that is so desired in working dogs. Another wonderful things chili does is love my children fiercely. Henley taught chili to climb a ladder on the playground and go down the slide with her and she did all with no treats just purely the fact that Chili loves Henley. This week Chili whelped her first litter and I couldn’t be more proud of her! Chili has been not only an excellent mother but also so very patient with my children while allowing them to be a part of this experience. To say that I’m filled with joy is an understatement and I can’t wait to see what this new chapter will bring for my family. I also have to add every time I check on the puppies chili looks at me like loooook at my puppies (she is so proud of them).
