Rip's Puppies

Rip’s litter by Jack born February 2^nd, 2008
Pictures taken at 7 weeks old.

3 female and 9 male tri-color puppies!

These pups should be some good working dogs.
Ready for new forever homes March 29th.

Annie Oakley: I have trained professional dogs for just about every task nameable. Annie in her first two training session of 20 minutes each was able to stop, sit, and down and follow directions by hand signals left to right and has picked up other rather useless but funny things like shake hands and roll over ....lol. We have decided to keep her in the house through the bonding period and really she is totally house broken, She is a rather remarkable dog and her heart is so pure. My wife and children are blown away with the brains of this dog and her ability to learn. I would like to thank you again for her and to thank you mostly for your love of the dogs and your wise choices in her breeding. She is of perfect conformation. I will probably start her next month herding some....with old hornless goats for she has a real herding instinct even now. I think I will put her in a few of the sheep fest herding events, but only when she is ready. I will only work my dog in low pressure scenarios until she is older. I don't want to burn her out or get her hurt pressuring her to do things that she is not ready for. I do believe she will be championship material in the herding lots and I base this from years of experience and my knowledge of this type of dog, for she is the smartest dog I have seen ever… bar none... and the smartest dog seen by all that have seen her for her age. I am so looking forward to a long life and countless years of love and friendship with her.

Sam Bass: Maverick is doing great! We can’t tell you enough how pleased we are with him!  He is already starting to sit on command and almost potty trained. All signs are pointing to a phenomenal pup!

Belle Starr: Nell is fitting in very well, learns our routines very quickly and is rapidly becoming socialized to all of our different daily encounters!

John Chisum: Dash is quickly approaching the 10-week mark. He and my two year old daughter have come to the mutual realization that they are not toys for each other and have managed to find a happy middle ground...most of the time. Dash comes along to do chores with me everyday. He seems to enjoy bringing in the cows. He walks in front of me, rating his speed with however fast or slow the cows are walking. I am surprised at how bold he is. I have seen Dash several times just sit in the barnyard and intently observe the other animals. Bill had mentioned to me about "hearing the gears clunk"; I now know exactly what he means. I've also been taking Dash with me when I feed and water the chickens, at first in my overalls, but now on a leash. My wife, daughter and Dash went out to water the chickens and one of the hens got out of the house. Dash was on his leash outside the henhouse. My wife swears he made at least ten calculated moves to keep the chicken from getting away and then drove the hen back into the henhouse. I asked her if she thought he just got lucky, but she felt she saw a definite thought process.

Pat Garrett: He and I have made a close bond already. He is very protective of me and claims ownership! If I move he moves. We put him a nice bed in our bedroom but he insists on sleeping beside the bed right by me. Just wanted you to know we love our puppy and he loves us. He is very happy and we are looking forward to many years of fun with him.

Luke Short: Luke is doing fine. Went to vet yesterday and he loved it. He likes people. The check up was good. He is walking on leash good. He is real smart; sits on command, and comes well. Thanks for Luke. He is quite the boy.

Pearl Heart: She is just adorable. It’s just amazing how fast she has learned about the potty breaks and her leash. The kids can’t leave her alone and my wife is very fond as well.
