New Puppy Care! 
Our family would like to thank you for giving one of our “Little Cherubs” a wonderful home and new life with you. We truly feel like new friends are born with every litter! Vaccinations: Pups receive their first vaccine at 7 weeks of age, and boosters are due at three-week intervals after that (10 & 13 weeks). If your pup goes home to you before vaccinations are complete, it is vitally important that you take him/her to your vet to receive the remaining boosters. Your puppy *will not* be protected (against Parvo or distemper) until he/she has received the correct amount of vaccination and appropriate booster.. Please READ - Very important Vaccination & Drug Information: Test your Aussie for the mutant MDR1 gene - Get your testing kit today! Note: Our complete FIVE YEAR health guarantee covers: health issues that are hereditary or genetic disorders in writing. An extensive Veterinarian examination will be done to screen for genetic issues "during puppy-hood" and eyes will be checked prior to leaving "our arms to yours". Documentation will be Provided in your packet on the outcome of the examination for your Veterinarian records. The Screening Process & Clearance includes: Anterior Crossbite, Brachygnathism, Collie Eye Anomaly, Deafness, Microphthalmia, Pannus, Patent Dectus Arteriosus, Pelger-Huet Anomay, Persistent Pupllary Membranes, Persistent Right Aortic Arch, Prognathism, Pulmonic Stenosis and Uveal Hypopigmentation. The Screening of Hips and Eyes: We are in the long process of performing PennHip procedures and Clearing the eyes of all our breeding dogs to further protect the future of our breed.. All breeders working with Desert Willow Aussie's are required and are in the process of doing the same. We will begin posting the results as we complete this process. The estimated time-frame to complete this task is before the end of 2008..
Please check out this link for the 2006 Vaccination Guidelines from the AAHA. Registration Papers: Be sure to register your puppy before 12 months of age, this will ensure access to their pedigrees through both registries, and keep the cost to register your puppy at a minimum. Please take the time to Register your Puppy with BOTH Registries which (in most cases) include AKC & ASCA. You'll need to include a Picture of his/her face and complete body shot on both sides attached to your registration papers when sending them in. We take great pride in bringing you a DOUBLE REGISTER Aussie, please continue our cause and register your Desert Willow Aussie with both registries....Our thanks in advance! A Note from Theresa: By the way, because of the recent Dog & Cat Food Recalls we've done our homework to research the best we can find to safely feed our dogs & Cats and to recommend to our puppy & kitten parents. This has been a long and difficult road as there are so many foods out there with all kinds of ingredients that are good, bad and indifferent in our minds. We believe that we've found what is best for our dogs and will give your dogs the best chance at a long and healthy life. The decisions made on these two brands have proven to be wonderful for everyone. No Wheat or Corn, and no imported ingredients. Neither Flint River nor Life's Abundance have been on any of the recall lists for any of their products and in the age of imports this speaks loudly! We've spread our wings to embrase both companies and have been totally satisfied. FRRC takes in feeding the best OVEN BAKED TWICE foods they can provide! Life's Abundance has other wonderful ingredients critical to a dogs long and healthy life. It was frightening to learn that well known "TRUSTED" grocery dog food companies have killed TRIPLE the dogs out there in their careers, yet we never hear about it because they have the HIGH POWERED lawyers and funding to sweep everything "under the rug". With that being said, I began to realize that any food we feed is a risk, but I've truly found none other that I like better or feel safer with then Flint River Ranch & Life's Abundance for the Price. Both ship your feed straight to your door. The price of this feed is not at all "out of the ball park" either! We understand that there are other great feeds out there, however to best serve you and our puppies we will educate you on these two foods and help establish your puppy on the road to a long and healthy life.
If you choose not to use Flint River Ranch, please consider a NO CORN diet for your dog and also include the Missing Link and Pet's Alive Supplements in their diet. Taking Corn & Wheat out of your dogs diet will keep your dog healthier in the long run. The corn & Wheat in our country is loaded with Growth Hormones to mass produce it for the demand and variety of corn and Wheat based products, so they've sacrificed the quality for the quantity. We also live in the age of imports, so feeding these products that have been imported, we must realize there is no way to regulate weather it's safe for not (for dogs or humans). Also because ot that Growth Hormone, if we (as Humans) dogs, cats, (any living thing) has a predisposition to cancer, and you feed it growth hormone, you will then feed that gene risking the growth of cancer! Frightening when you think about it! THE question is, how much do you love your dog? The supplements (Missing Link & Pets Alive) will help to fill in the missing ingredients that most dog foods will not have and give your dog a wonderful coat, minimal shedding, protections for their eyes, bones and immune systems! The investment on these two products together is under 35.00 for 6 months. Contact me direct for more information, and I'll be more than happy to jump onto my soapbox for you! One last thought for you, be sure to keep your dog on YOGURT daily, as it will protect your young puppy and adults from Parasites, Parvo and so many other bacteria's that lurk in places you'd never even know. When you give your pup/dog their tablespoon of plain yogurt everyday, take your spoonful first as it's wonderful for us as well! I do advise you to keep Yogurt in your dogs diet daily for life, they love it, and need only a tablespoon a day, they truly enjoy the time and focus when you give it to them too!

Puppy Food: Puppy Mush: If you would like to continue feeding your puppy Mush at night to begin with when you first bring your puppy home, that would be fine idea and especially comforting during the transition from our home to yours. Feeding them the Mush mixture is wonderful and keep the Yogurt in their diets everyday for life, as it's a great diet supplement for dogs (just like humans). It's a natural way to ward off PARVO and upper respiratory viruses, and parasites in both dogs and cats. This is a recent AMAZING discovery, and will change our lives here at our kennel. I've incorporated this into the diet of all our dogs and cats everyday and they love the taste and it's cured the "EYE" issues I've struggled with for the last two years in our Persian Cats! Who would have thought that something I eat everyday would be the cure of so many things! I'm forever thankful to Kim Tush (a puppy parent and Veterinarian) for this priceless wisdom! You can continue feeding this to your puppy for a full year and for life if you so desire. We recommend you continue with the Missing Link/Alive Mixture for a healthier life (the web-links for both provided on our Links page), and it can be sprinkled into your dogs food everyday, and usually 2 tsp will do. Dogs like the taste, and it has nutrients that not only help their coat, but eyes, ears, breath, and bowel movements too. It’s like a “Super Food” for dogs! We believe if you sow good seed into your Aussie early on, you will reap the benefits later on in their golden years, giving them a longer healthier life (with fewer trips to the vet). When you read the ingredients in this stuff, you are gonna wonder if you can sprinkle it on your food too (and I've actually discovered this for humans too as they do make it!) Puppy Mush Recipe: 1/4 cup Flint River Ranch Lamb, Millet & Rice ONLY - Remember - the Lamb, Millet and Rice is the best because Millet is a natural source of laetril which helps prevent cancer. Dr. McCall (a wonderful holistic vet) says we can also feed puppies the adult FRR food which is exactly what we do!. Feeding your puppies this mix at night will help to bed them down for the night in total contentment. But be sure to feed them the Mush about 1.5 hours before bed time so there is time to “Go Hurry Up”! The rest of the day, just allow them free feed. Your pup is growing and likes to nibble throughout the day. Thanks again and we look forward to a long relationship with you. We love Pictures, so please feel free to send them often. Also, we love getting testimonials of how life is treating your new friend! Better yet, we have added a special link to our site for our new Desert Willow Aussie Forum where you can post pictures of your puppy/dog and chat with other owners, share secrets or just brag on your beautiful Aussie! We'd enjoy keeping in touch with you there! Theresa Gorduyn Please check out this link for the 2006 Vaccination Guidelines from the AAHA.

Two Wolves One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, The battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. One is Evil. The other is Good. The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

I've put together a list for you so that you may begin preparations for your new puppy. Before you know it, your puppy will be home with you and you'll certainly ponder what and how she/he's been fed. This is it! I have recommended the Diamond Dog food line and until recently, it's all I've fed my dogs, however we are transitioning into a new fellowship with Flint River Ranch. This is one of the BEST foods you can feed in my opinion, and as you read you'll understand why we spend so much time and investment on excellent feed for our dogs, it's because we know that we will reap what we sow! We are now also distributors of Flint River Ranch and Life's Abundance foods. We currently use both using the Flint River Ranch ( Lamb, Millet & Rice) for their much needed mush (recipe is below) and the Life's Abundance for "NIBBLE KIBBLE". Please contact us direct if you have additional questions and you'll find the links to order "BOTH" foods below.
