Dublin Update May 2012
Dublin turned 3 this May of 2012 and is the most amazing dog ever. :) Back in November he passed his Bright and Beautiful Therapy Dog test and is now a certified therapy dog. He loves his job and is a fantastic ambassador for Aussies and all dogs. He loves visiting children and reading with them and he enjoys visiting nursing homes and adult day care facilities. His temperament is superb and he is the ideal therapy dog.
We are working towards his AKC Thd title, which he will achieve after completing 50 therapy dog visits.
CLICK HERE for a article from one of the local newspapers about Dublin's recent visit to a local school.
Dublin also loves to run and play. He is great on off-leash hikes (though as a boy, he does sometimes do his own thing and returns a few minutes later covered in mud....haha) and we usually walk about 20 miles per week. We hike with a few friends and their dogs, and Dublin is a favorite member of the pack. He's one of the only male dogs and the ladies all love him! He also enjoys lure coursing and I am hoping to enter him in his first trial this year. He's super-smart, though, and tries to outsmart the lure right now. :)
This past year we added a standard Aussie to the family and Dublin is a great "big brother". Thanks again for everything! Our lives would not be the same without Dublin and we are very grateful for him!
Congratulations Sarah, Chris and Dublin on your therapy dog accomplishments from all of us here
at J & F Miniatures.

In addition to Flyball and Agility, Toby has begun training in Treibball, a ball herding sport that is popular in Europe and catching on in the United States.

As a performance dog in training, Starr has completed basic and advanced obedience training, as well as Dog Sports Fundamentals at the Dog Training Club of Chester County (DTCCC).
