Gidget is a mom!

Early sunday morning, Gidget had a litter of pups and are they ever adorable. She had 5 pups, three who look like her and two blue merles wh0 look like thier pa, Cinch. She and Angel are very good mothers and the pups are doing excellent. Angel's pups eyes are opening, I think there are 3 whose are open and the rest are close to opening. Another day that reminds us that spring is around the corner and it will be soon that robins will show up. It was sunny and the snow is amelting.

A great day

We've got exciting news!! The pups eyes are starting to open, the black tri female's are just about all the way open. Gidget is starting to nest, so maybe tommorrow we will have more little aussie pups. I think she is anxious to have the pups too. When she climbs on the sofa she can't make it by herself and I have to lift her on, the pups are getting so big in her. Beautiful sunshine today, too, although it still is cool (mid to upper 20's). We also got our scale to track pups development and weighed them today. The red bi color male is a brute at 1 lbs 10.8 oz., while his red tri sister is petite 12.7 oz. (maybe a toy aussie, we hope). Take a look at Angel's pups at www.dakotatoyaussies.com. We will update pictures as soon as all her pups eyes are open should be this coming week.

A Busy Day

Had an interesting afternoon. I could hear the puppies crying and only 2 puppies were in their nest. I followed the crying and found 2 more at the bottom of the stairs, Angel led me too them. So I put them back, but where are the other three??? I asked the kids what they did with them, Peirce said Reid had them. So I looked some more and found Reid's boot box, it was warm, that's odd. I opened it up and there the other 3 were perfectly lined up and sleeping soundly!! Angel was happy to have all her aussie pups back!

Another cold Feb morning

Another cold morning in late Feb. Today was minus 11 but things are looking up for the weekend. We may even see some thawing weather.
We are still waiting for Angel's little aussie pups to open thier eyes. Angel is a great mother and is doing a great job raising her little guys and gals. We got pictures of the pups on our website this week so take a look at them!!

Coldest morning in Feb

Brrrr!!!!!! it was minus 11 degrees this morning. Cinch and the girls did not stay out long this morning. Angel and her pups are doing well and growing. All they do is eat it seems. Our Aussies sure are impressive in how well they handle the cold. Their coats are beautiful and thick!!!!!!

Welcome to Dakota Toy Aussies

We have a small breeding program and are fairly new to the Toy and Mini Aussie (know as Miniature and Toy Australian Shepherd), but are very familiar with the standard Australian Shepherd. Our goal is to produce a quality dog with personality and loyalty to their family. Our dogs have an excellent breeding background and we hope to improve on that background.
