The Girls

Ellie Mae 


Born: Jan. 8, 2008 (Deceased)

Red Merle Female with 1 Blue eye. 15.5" tall 28 lbs. 

 She is the most obedient dog I have ever owned. She has a great disposition and loves to cuddle. I bought her when I was a senior in high school trying to cope with the loss of my father. Ellie and my mother have been my rock and have gotten me through so much over the years. She is the reason I fell in love with the breed and now try to spread that joy throughout Texas.  She also has a very natural instinct to herd our calves and birds if she gets the chance. 

She was one of six puppies (4 black tris, 1 blue merle, herself)

                                                          Reba  

Born: Jan. 16, 2011

Red Tri Female with two Blue eyes. 17" tall 35 lbs. NSDR 

She is from the Timberline Kennels.

She has perfect confirmation. She is the most energetic and playful dog I have. Reba is by far the best mother I have ever seen. One year she even saved one of Ellie's puppies from underneath a house. 

She was one of 4 puppies ( All of them were Red Tri's, 2 of them had two blue eyes and the other two had one blue eye)

From Lindsay Porter in Oklahoma. 

Blue Merle with full collar and 1 Blue Eye 14.5" tall, 25 lbs, NSDR and ASDR


Shania is my mother's dog and has brought so much joy and spirit into our lives. Fievel was extremely jealous at first but now they are attached to each others hip. She is only 10 months old but already prefers to be with Reba and her puppies. She thinks she is the master babysitter.

 Sassy

Born: Sept. 23, 2013

From Lindsey Caveness and her mother Robin.

Red Merle (Tweed), 1 Blue Eye 17" tall, 35 lbs, NSDR and ASDR

Sassy came to us as an older puppy, but she has fit in extremely well with our crew. She is extremely loving and wants to be by your side at all times. I don't think she has ever met a stranger. She is also showing great skills as a babysitter. We love the AMAZING color she puts on her puppies!
