phone talking Heeler puppies with someone else. If you call and leave a message
and we don't call you right back, feel free to keep calling until you get us.
Our phone never stops ringing. If we have a puppy that you want the best thing

A special big thanks to all of
the men and women that are serving our country in Germany, Iraq and Afghanistan that have
gotten puppies from us. We are honored to work with you and very very proud of
the sacrifice that you are making for our freedom. We are sincerely humbled.

Thank You Very Much.

The proud warriors of Baker Company wanted to do
Something to pay tribute
To our fallen comrades So
since we are part of the only
Marine Infantry Battalion
left in Iraq the one way that we could
Think of doing that is By
taking a picture of
Baker Company saying the way
we feel.
It would be awesome if you
could find a way to share
This with our fellow
countrymen.
I
was wondering if there was any way to
Get this into your
Papers to let the world know that
'WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN'
And are proud to serve our country.

John's wife, Mindy, said that this little girl's entire family was
executed. The insurgents intended to execute the little girl also, and shot her
in the head...but they failed to kill her. She was cared for in John's hospital
and is healing up, but continues to cry and moan. The nurses said John is the
only one who seems to calm her down, so John has spent the last four nights
holding her while they both slept in that chair. The girl is coming along with
her healing.

A Christmas Poem
The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.
The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.
Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know,
Then the sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.
Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.
A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.
Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.
"What are you doing?" I asked without fear,
"Come in this moment, it's freezing out here!
Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,
You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!"
For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts..
To the window that danced with a warm fire's light
Then he sighed and he said "Its really all right,
I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night."
"It's my duty to stand at the front of the line,
That separates you from the darkest of times.
No one had to ask or beg or implore me,
I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before me.
My Gramps died at ' Pearl on a day in December,"
Then he sighed, "That's a Christmas 'Gram always remembers."
My dad stood his watch in the jungles of ' Nam ',
And now it is my turn and so, here I am.
I've not seen my own son in more than a while,
But my wife sends me pictures, he's sure got her smile.
Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
The red, white, and blue... an American flag.
I can live through the cold and the being alone,
Away from my family, my house and my home.
I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat.
I can carry the weight of killing another,
Or lay down my life with my sister and brother..
Who stand at the front against any and all,
To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall."
" So go back inside," he said, "harbor no fright,
Your family is waiting and I'll be all right."
"But isn't there something I can do, at the least,
"Give you money," I asked, "or prepare you a feast?
It seems all too little for all that you've done,
For being away from your wife and your son."
Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,
"Just tell us you love us, and never forget.
To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone,
To stand your own watch, no matter how long.
For when we come home, either standing or dead,
To know you remember we fought and we bled.
Is payment enough, and with that we will trust,
That we mattered to you as you mattered to us."
PLEASE, would you do me the kind favor of sending this to as many
people as you can? Christmas will be coming soon and some credit is due to our
U.S. service men and women for our being able to celebrate these
festivities. Let's try in this small way to pay a tiny bit of what we owe. Make people
stop and think of our heroes, living and dead, who sacrificed themselves for us.

"In Dealing With TERRORISTS, our TAX dollars
should be paying for weapons to stop them not lawyers to defend them!"
Scott Brown
Today I am
attending the
funeral for one
of the greatest
patriots you
could ever hope
to meet, and I
wanted to
briefly tell you
a little about
this man:
Vincent Florian.
For nearly seven
years I've
served as the
Director of Care
Package
operations for
Move America
Forward, the
largest
pro-troop
organization in
the country.
During that time
we assembled and
shipped over 200
tons of care
packages that
were received by
hundreds of
thousands of
U.S. troops
serving
overseas.
During this time
one of our most
loyal volunteers
was Vincent, or
as we called
him, Vince. He
and his lovely
wife, Barbara,
would come
nearly every
single day
putting together
these care
packages - never
receiving a
dime's worth of
compensation.
They volunteered
because they
believed in the
greatness of our
American
military men and
women.
You see, Vince
was a veteran
himself. He
served in the
U.S. Air Force,
including
service during
the Vietnam War,
and Vince saw
first-hand how
U.S. Troops got
caught up in the
politics of war
- spit upon and
attacked by some
Americans who
took out their
frustrations
over the
politics of war
on those who
wore the uniform
of the U.S.
military.
Vince vowed that
no U.S. Troops
would ever have
to face such
treatment again.
There's
something else
you should know
about Vince - he
was diagnosed
with lung
cancer. And so,
in the final
years of his
life, even as he
struggled to
gasp for air and
find the energy
to even move, he
would still come
nearly every
single day,
working on these
care packages.
Last week, Vince
breathed his
last breath of
air and passed
away. Today is
his funeral,
which I will be
attending in
Dixon,
California.
During his
funeral, several
hundred miles to
the south, Move
America Forward
will be hosting
their 4th annual
TroopAThon -
raising money to
send care
packages to our
troops. Vincent
would have loved
to be there, but
now someone else
will have to
step forward and
take his role of
supporting our
troops, while
Vince watches
from the
Heaven's above.
You can do your
part by
sponsoring a
Care Package for
our Troops
during today's
TroopAThon
effort. To
donate a care
package, simply
visit the
TroopAThon Care
Package website
-
CLICK HERE TO
SPONSOR CARE
PACKAGES.
I want to ask
you to please
take just 1
minute and 50
seconds to see
what this effort
is about by
watching this
video which has
clips of Vince
and his wife
Barbara. It will
help you to
understand what
this is all
about and why
I'm so emotional
in supporting
this effort:
One of the
things Vince
liked to do best
was to repair
the personal
fans we'd ship
to the troops to
keep them cool.
The fans would
sometimes get
damaged in
shipment, and
Vince was
determined to
repair as many
of them as
possible since
he knew the
temperatures our
troops were
facing were over
100 degrees, and
that was
oppressive when
they were
already wearing
75+ pounds of
body armor.
They don't make
men like Vince
Florian too much
anymore, folks.
So please, do me
the honor of
helping pay
tribute to him
by sponsoring
one of those
Care Packages
Vince helped
assemble each
and every day.
You can sponsor
Care Packages -
HERE.
And you can also
watch today's
8-Hour
TroopAThon live
broadcast where
there will be a
special tribute
to Vince. The
show features
everyone from
Rush Limbaugh to
Gov. Sarah Palin
and some of our
finest military
men and women.

When the
Music Stopped...
(For those who are unaware: At all military base theaters,
the National Anthem is played before the movie begins.)
This is written from a Chaplain in Iraq :
I recently attended a showing of 'Superman 3' here at
LSA Anaconda. We have a large auditorium we use for movies,
as well as memorial services and other large gatherings. As
is the custom at all military bases, we stood to attention
when the National Anthem began before the main feature. All
was going well until three-quarters of the way through The
National Anthem, the music stopped.
Now, what would happen if this occurred with 1,000 18-22
year-olds back in the States? I imagine there would be
hoots, catcalls, laughter, a few rude comments, and everyone
would sit down and yell for the movie to begin. Of course,
that is, if they had stood for the National Anthem in the
first place.
Here in Iraq, 1,000 Soldiers continued to stand at attention,
eyes fixed forward. The music started again and the Soldiers
continued to quietly stand at attention. But again, at the
same point, the music stopped. What would you expect 1000
Soldiers standing at attention to do?? Frankly, I expected
some laughter, and everyone would eventually sit down and
wait for the movie to start.
But No!!... You could have heard a pin drop, while every
Soldier continued to stand at attention.
Suddenly, there was a lone voice from the front of the auditorium,
then a dozen voices, and soon the room was filled with the
voices of a thousand soldiers, finishing where the recording
left off: "And the rockets' red glare, the bombs
bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag
was still there. Oh, say does that Star Spangled Banner yet
wave, o'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave."
It was the most inspiring moment I have had in Iraq and I
wanted you to know what kind of Soldiers are serving you.
Remember them as they fight for us!
Pass this along as a reminder to others to be ever in prayer
for all our soldiers serving us here at home and abroad.
Many have already paid the ultimate price.
Written by Chaplain Jim Higgins LSA Anaconda

Did you know that
Target Stores
do not allow the Salvation Army or Toy For Tots to collect on their property and
when their employees were called to support our
country in Iraq and Afghanistan they cancelled their insurance. They were asked
to be sponsors for the Vietnam Veterans Wall they responded and said that
veterans in general do not meet their donation criteria.
The Target Corporation is owned by a FRENCH company. Let's keep our AMERICAN $$
with companies that support our military men and women. Target only donates to
the Arts, Gay and Lesbian Causes and Education. We don't care what causes anyone
donates to or supports however we just think it is ridiculous... to find these
or any causes to be of more value than the support of our military and their
families. Shame on Target! We don't give
McDonald's
our money either.
They believe that American Ranchers don't have
the ability to produce good enough quality beef for us American consumers,
however Mexico does. We have nothing against Mexico, we have lived in South
Texas and Arizona, some of our best friends have been Mexican Americans. I am
sure the people in Mexico want their companies to support their country just
like we want companies in the United States to support our country.
GE (General Electric) and Johnson & Johnson
support Obamacare, Cap and Trade and other TOXIC policies of Obama's. Are you
willing to support Johnson & Johnson and GE with your money now that you know
that they are pouring money into our Government trying to buy policies that are
bad for us, the real people that buy their products.
We encourage everyone that reads this to help
us in supporting our troops! To learn more about what you can do personally go

We 100% support the men and women that are out
there sacrificing their lives, their youth and their families for all of us. We
don't want anyone to forget what they and their families are going through.
Think about them and pray for them everyday.

Our MINI Heelers/Cattle
Dogs are 100% PUREBRED HEELERS. It has taken us 10 years to breed the size down
in our dogs while keeping the great Heeler personality, beautiful Heeler look
and a healthy puppy that we are proud to give you a 1 Year Health Guarantee on.
There are other breeders in Oregon that are crossing Chihuahuas with Australian
Cattle Dogs/Blue Heelers and are advertising them them as "Purebred Toy and Mini
Heelers". We don't care what anyone else does with their breeding program, just
be honest about it. Our puppies are 100% Heelers. Their parents aren't crossed
any toy or mini breeds to make them small. It has taken us many years of hard work and a lot of
planning to be able to produce a beautiful healthy Heeler puppy that will mature
12-14 inches tall and 20-30 lbs, some may even be a little smaller than that. If
that sounds big to you remember a standard Heeler is 16 inches or better with
many over 20 inches tall and 45-65 lbs.
There is nothing wrong
with hybrid or designer breeds of dogs. Just be honest and call them what they
are.
Our dogs are of particular pride to
us as they are a part of our family. They live in large pens or in our
house with us. They have lots of
room to run, play and socialize with each other. Each pen has daily play
time
with us. They are not kenneled or caged and
most have only seen a crate used as spare dog house on the porch! All of
our mommas have their puppies in our house and each puppy is delivered into our
waiting hands. Years of selection, based on many stringent criteria, allow us to
offer you a selection of loyal and hardworking Australian Cattle Dogs (AKA Blue
Heelers, Red Heelers and Queensland Heelers), that are just as happy providing
you with loving family companionship as they are working for a
living. Many of our
Cattle Dog puppies are born with natural stumpy tails, that means that they
either have no tail at all at birth or a very short one. If you would like a
puppy with a long natural tail we can direct you to our upcoming litters that
will have natural long tails. You are welcome to take first or second
pick from any litter and keep a natural tail on your puppy. Jessi and I do not produce show dogs nor do we have any desire to do so. We are
proud to offer beautiful, healthy pet and working quality puppies to loving family homes. Be
sure and check out the "FYI" page, it is a link from our "Dogs" page. We have
done our best to provide you with the answers to any questions you may have
about us or our dogs on the many pages of this website.
If you would like to purchase
a puppy from us we ask that you discuss this with any other people that live in
your home as well as your land lord if you rent. We also ask that you make sure
that you are ready to provide a baby puppy with a loving home. Deposits and
payments on puppies are non refundable. We reserve the right to refuse selling a puppy to anyone
for any reason. If you have paid for a puppy and we become concerned for any
reason we will immediately do a return to your card for the amount you have paid
less the credit card transaction fee. These decisions are final and not
negotiable or debatable.
Docking Tails
We are happy to leave a long
natural tail on a puppy if it has one and if someone wants it left on, if not
the tails are banded.
What Breeds Make Up the
Australian Cattle Dog/Blue or Red Heeler?
So what breeds were used to come up with
a Blue or Red Heeler, Australian Cattle Dog or Queensland Heeler (all the same
dog by the way)? The list is a lot longer than you might think! If you start
from the beginning the first dog was called a Smithfield, it had heavy hair,
floppy ears, a bob tail with a dark body and a white ring around it's neck, that
dog was crossed with a Native Australian Dingo, the resulting dog was crossed
with a Rough Coated Collie. This dog was then crossed with a Blue Smooth
Highland Collie, the resulting dog was crossed back on the Dingo again. These
dogs then had some Bull Terrier added to them (about 1870), to calm this little
fighter down they then added Dalmation into the mix to make a more devoted loyal
dog (oops! Excuse the "mix" pun!). In case you wondered the Australian
Cattle Dog was not recognized by the American Kennel Club as a purebred breed
until 1980. With that in mind...... can a
Heeler have spots? Can they be pure white? Can they have a natural bob tail? Can
they have curly hair? Can they be brindle? .... Sure they can... it's all in the
genes!
What about the Australian
Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler being a Miniature Dog?
We realized many years ago that people naturally gravitated towards our smaller
puppies, the smaller they were the better they liked them. We set out to keep
our highest quality dogs to use in our breeding program that were smallest in
size. Through the years we were able to get a smaller and smaller Cattle
Dog/Heeler. They are 100% Heelers with no other breed used besides a
Heeler..... just years and years of selection and breeding to get a smaller
maturing dog.
All deposits and payments that are made
on the puppies are non-refundable. If you decide that you do not want a
puppy after you have put a deposit on it you have credit towards any other puppy
we have at anytime in the future.
We only accept cash at our
home. We still accept credit and debit cards over the phone for any
puppies that are being shipped or paid for in full at the time that you pick it
out. We aren't always able to make change, so just to be safe you should bring
the correct amount.
Before your puppy ships to you or leaves our property if you are picking it up,
we must have a signed dated copy of our guarantee in our possession, with the
original signature of the person whose name is on the credit card that pays for
the puppy. The guarantee can be found as a link from our FYI page.
We accept Visa, Master Card,
debit and Wal-Mart Money Grams for phone sales.
We appreciate your time, consideration
and interest.
