Hello and welcome to my home.  I am located in  Kingsland, TX, a small town in the Hill Country. I am a new comer to this beautiful area. Not like the desert area I came from in Nevada where grass and trees were few.  Beautiful Oaks, lots of grass and flowers with rolling hills and lakes. What a beautiful change.              I have been in this fabulous breed since the late 60's.  I started out with a beautiful bitch named Lady. I waited for two years to get her.  She was a wonderful dog and so intelligent which of course this breed is.  She worked our horses and looked after my daughter when she was small.  At age 6 years she went through obedience and in only three shows got her CD.  I got my second bitch Be Be and she too was so smart and a good worker. She began our breed ring showing.  Both of these bitches never saw a baby till my daughter was born and they were 6 years old and took over as if it was old hat.  They baby sat, letting their selves be pulled on, teeth examined and what ever else a toddler could come up with, and never complained a bit.  I then came across a beautiful male 11 months old, Cowboy, he to became my daughters sitter, following her as she rode her pony and later on her horse till his passing.  During his short show career he took several WD and a BOB in ASCA.  Back then the Aussie people were not to much into doing hips let alone eyes.  I however started doing hips right away. Working for a vet surly helped!   I also had two beautiful bitches from the Storybook line.    Funny now looking back, they said Aussie's would be AKC within the next 5 years.  Well that came and went.  Even though I have had different breeds as well, I must say there is nothing that can compare to an Aussie!     I strive to breed lines which seem to have little or no problems as I don't want to see this beautiful breed end up as so many others with so many problems that they just can't make a come back.  All my dogs are OFA and Eyes are checked yearly.  Even though I go through pedigrees before breeding some times you still end up with a few problems but you just turn in a different direction and try to correct it.  My puppies and adults are fed like you would want to eat, eggs, cheese, veggies, cottage cheese, milk replacements, vitamins, calcium and what ever else they need to be as healthy as can be.

My puppies are sold with a health guarantee and their eyes are checked before leaving. 

  I now own two wonderful Havanese girls.  They joined my family in 2005.  Watch for them at ring side in 2006.

I hope you enjoy your visit here at Hug-Me Kennels!

                Thank you for coming!
