2025 - the year of changes at the Ranch
Updated 6/4/25
2025 has hit hard! There has been a lot happen, a lot of trauma and haven't been able to keep up as much as I wanted to. Please forgive me if you contacted me and I ghosted you, some days are just too much!
Moving forward, happenings have spurred me on the the next chapter of my life! After 20 years of ranching, raising dogs and running my own business from home, I am ready to reinvent myself! I think I'll get a job working for a company for a while, clock in 9-5 and leave work behind me when I go home. I'm going to travel with my family more! And I am cutting down on my responsibilities!
I will be posting adult dogs for sale on this blog post. There will be Mini Aussies and Dalmatians; breeding pairs, and breeding thruples, retired dogs and puppies. If you are have been wanting some quality dogs I will have several for sale. I also have adult female labs, a male poodle and labradoodle puppies coming soon and all for sale. Prices will be reasonable, but please don't use this challenging time of my life to try to get great dogs for nothing. Please be kind.
I will be updating this blog post as I post adult dogs and have them ready for sale. If you are know what you are looking for call or text and I will let you know what I have available. Thank you! Erin 307-254-3968
I do have available adult mini aussies. Older retired females, breeding pairs or thruples. Let me know what you are looking for. I am slowing down on the dogs, and will be letting them go for reasonable prices. (But not dirt cheap.) Call or text for more info. Thank you! Erin 307-254-3968
Jewell - blue merle female with two marbled eyes. Jewell is an older female that has raised a few liters here. She was born 7-4-2018, she is about 30 lbs and nice and square. She is a quiet girl, and not high energy. She loves pets and want to please. She is 7-years old, so she is ready for retirement, crate trained. $250 with spay and utd vaccinations to an approved home.
Chief and Red are a breeding pair I have available after there pups are weaned (7/11/25) Chief is an old pro here on the ranch, one of the best working dogs I have ever met and is loyal to his bones. He knows every word I say to him and talks back with his eyes and a tilt of his head. He is about 14-15” tall and about 20-25lbs.
Red is a young female I raised, she is super sweet and loving, wants to do anything and everything to please you and has been an amazing mother. She is between 14-15” tall and about 20lbs.
Last litter these two had and raised 9 puppies, 5 black tris and 4 blue merles. These two are worthy of my asking price on their own, but the puppies they bring to the table will earn your investment back in about 6 months.
This pair of dogs is for sale when these pups are raised, to a super-approved home as a breeding pair. Chief is my best guy, and I won’t let him go to anyone I have the slightest worry about. $3,500
Flower and Cinch
Flower is a young female I raised, she has the most beautiful head, ear set and build! She is exactly what I want to breed in a mini aussie. She has had two very nice litters of pups and is an exceptional mother. She has had a litter of 6 and a litter of 9 and raised them well. She is about 15-16” tall and 25-30lbs.
Cinch is dog I raised out of Riggin, he is a super mellow, loves ranch life and is a great companion. He is about 16” tall and between 25-30lbs.
Flower is due for pups any day now, you can buy the family or buy the pair after the pups are weaned. $3,500 for the pair, negotiable on the family depending on how many pups there are.
Scout Goes to South Dakota
April 5, 2024
Update - Scout is sold
Aiden and Tatum had a little “mini spring break” last weekend so we decided to load up and head for the Hills. The Black Hills of South Dakota that is and we took this little stinker along for fun. Meet Scout.
It was a long drive over to the hills, but Scout slept through it just fine.
On the way over we stopped at Devil’s Tower, right at sunset, it made for some lovely photos.
We went to Mount Rushmore, everyone was wishing they were smart like Tatum and wore sunglasses.
One of my favorite spots in the Hills is Prairie Berry Winery. 10/10 recommend.
Crazy Horse Monument.
Coffee from the Wandering Bison in Hot Springs, SD. Scout went everywhere with us, met lots of people, hiked in the hills and was pure joy to have along!
The best part of visiting South Dakota is seeing Aunt Kathy! Thanks for the visit and we love you!
Next trip will be to visit Addie in Texas. If you know anyone looking for a pup that would be interested in meeting me in Texas or along the way please shoot them my info! It sure is nice to help people get their pup and save them miles too!
Thank you! Erin 307-254-3968

Update - Scout is sold
Scout - blue merle male out of Red and Buddy, born 12-14-23, ready to go. Both of the blue males of this litter of very small, and he is the smallest and I’m guessing he will be around/under 13” and 15lbs. Two blue eyes and perfect markings. $1350
Scout took a road trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota on the family spring break. He rides in the car very well, will wait in the car with out destroying everything (he does cry like a baby), he follows you everywhere and is really good about meeting people. If you want a tiny dog that you can stick in your purse, or under your arm and go everywhere, he is the kid for you. He is almost 4 months old, staying around 10lbs so far, and looks like he has about grown into his feet. He is going to be a little guy. Call or text me for videos. Thank you! Erin 307-254-3968
Adelaide Graduated!

Labradoodles
September 14, 2023
When Josh and I got married he wanted Labradors.
Since so many people in my area raise Labs, I decided to go a little different direction and got my boy Thor, a Standard Poodle.
Updated 12/11/23
And we have the most beautiful litter of Labradoodles.
"A cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Standard Poodle, the Labradoodle is a friendly, loving family dog who's easy on the allergies makes Labradoodles one of the most popular dog breeds in the United States. These dogs love activity, just not as much as they’ll love you." Read more here.
And this litter did not disappoint. They are goofy and loving and playful and oh so smart! Dad is a stand poodle and is tall and lanky and 40-50lbs. Mom is a black Lab and is short and stout and 40-50lbs. I expect puppies to fall in this size range.
These pups are easy to train, want to please and are going on to be very helpful for members of our community.
These pups were born July 27 and are ready to go to their new homes!
Sold - Tex - black male, he has the fluffiest black coat, he is cuddly and very beautiful. His big, brown eyes will melt your heart. $250
Sold - Buster - blue merle male, Buster wags his tail all the time! He has the cutest curly-haired ears and is sooooo fluffy! $250
Sold - Jet went to to be a service dog for a girl who suffers severe pain resulting from a TBI.
Jet has the smoothest coat of the litter, but possibly the biggest personality. He is fast and sassy and playful, but oh he loves his bath! When the hot water jets hit him he just melts! $250
Sold - Belle went to a young couple who just moved into their first home and struggle with allergies.
The three girls in this litter are a bit more shy than their brothers. Belle has the fluffiest coat of the girls, she is in the middle personality wise and is about as cute as a button. $250
Sold - Rosé went to be a companion fro a woman who was going into surgery and would need a companion to recover with her.
Rosé is the most outgoing of the girls. She is a character and is prone to getting herself into predicaments, (like falling in the stock tank.) She is medium fluffy and has a very beautiful merle pattern coat. $250
Sold - Teddy - is going to be a service dog for a military veteran who suffers from PTSD and allergies.
Teddy is so loving! He is always giving kisses, to people, to his brothers and sisters, to the ungrateful cat. Teddy just loves love. He is the king of the puppy head tilt and is always giving me quizzical looks. He is ready for his new home. $250
If you are interested in any of these beautiful puppies please call or text Erin at 307-254-3968. All puppies will have age-appropriate vaccinations.

Away in a Manger
December 15, 2021
~
Every Christmas I love to watch this youtube video and every year I think I need to do something like this with puppies. Every year Christmas sneaks up on me… and every year I don’t get it done. But here is a quick, cute attempt.
PS go watch this video, its adorable! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suowe2czxcA
Carol and Kaycee would be cast as Mary and Joseph, they are both calm, serene, quietly watching and pondering.
Holly would be the Baby Jesus because - she is just perfect and cute and does a lot of sleeping.
Walker and Rip would be the shepherds, it doesn’t take a whole host of heavenly angels to make these boys tremble in fear.
Oakley would be a camel, only because when she waddled up to me yesterday and I picked her up her tummy was so full it felt like a water balloon. Also I really like camels and I really like Oakley!
Tuck would be the little drummer boy, he’s little, doesn’t have a lot to give, but my goodness he’s going to give it his all! He'll rum-pa-pa-pum his little heart out for you!
Cinch would be an angel, not one of those serene, quiet, dressed in white kind of angels, but a Glory to God kind of Angel!
And Chonk, well Chonk would be the Angel Gabriel himself! Bringing good tidings of great Joy! With absolutely no fear whatsoever!
Thank you so much for swinging by the Barnyard and visiting my impromptu Nativity Scene.
Do you like my puppy proof (so far knock on wood) Christmas Tree? Monster Kitty is not impressed!
Merry Christmas everyone if I don’t visit with you before then!

Freya’s 4th of July Litter
August 31, 2021
I took Freya’s pups down to the park again today. It's funny how each of their personalities come out so quick on these little adventures.
Mia continues to be the A#1 recall expert and is the first to come every time I call the pups back to me.
The look you make when you are the goodest good dog that every good dogged. Mia is Sold.
Shyla kept up her reputation as being the shy, awkward one. Somehow I feel like I relate to her on a personal level.
Shyla’s awkwardness is explained. My vet and I both suspected she had hearing limitations, but she acts like she can hear some noises. The BAER hearing test confirmed this fact. Shyla is available.
Violet is pretty and feminine and dainty. Her eyes catch the light and sparkle in the sun.
I did try to explain to her that it isn’t very lady like to eat the flowers, however. Violet is available.
Chief is sold. Chief loves to lay flat out on his belly and nap during these excursions.
Yep, that’s Chief, he’s a little lazy.
Ice is sold. Ice loves to hunt and is constantly learning about the world around her. She doesn’t hardly stop moving and is checking everything out. Not hyper, just sniffing and looking and moving.
Until she crashes.
Toward the end of our trip I got these photos, they kind of perfectly sum up this fun bunch of puppies. Chief is laying on his belly, Shyla is awkwardly laying down, but not napping, Mia is sitting near me paying attention, and Violet is sleeping in a mound of flowers.
And then Ice comes sniffing through.

Ducky Blog

Josh likes to show people pictures on my web page.
He wanted to show off this picture of Ribbon the other day and was disappointed it was not on my web page.
Ribbon is a Riggin by Riley puppy that we kept from this last litter. She is beautiful and smart and just LOVES water (like her mom!) She really wants to grow up to be a cow dog.
This is Josh’s dog Ducky and Ribbon. The photo really doesn’t do either one of them justice, but you know, group shots, they are hard to get.
I wanted to include some puppy photos of Ducky, because man, she’s just so cute!
She’s not much of a cuddle bug, but occasionally you can get a snuggle.
Usually she likes to sprawl out on the ground like she’s broken.
Here is Maggie, Ducky and Birdie.
This blog post wouldn’t be complete without a picture of Josh’s cat Angus.
And a picture when he was just a cute little hoodlum.
While I’m introducing everyone, this is Josey and Jack, Addie’s healer dogs.
And, well, if I’m doing a blog post of pictures that Josh might want to show off, I’m going to include this picture of the white tail buck I got last fall.
I love you darling!
I have a mini aussie pup available now. Check her out.
