Just want to let you know that Earl is doing very well. He is still shy around people but loves all dogs. He has honored a few chosen ones (people) and allowed them to pet him. I have been camphosting for Ca State Parks at Big Sur, Ca. and the day I took these beach photos It was Earls first time without leash on the beach. He ran, ran, and tried to fly. After I picked him up one of his biggest challeges was going up a step. Now he is leaping in the motorhome and his favorite place is my bed. We will be in the desert after Christmas and then to Alaska in April. Have a very nice Thanksgiving and I will try to keep you updated. Thanks Again.

Hey Fairview Kennels! I got a puppy from you almost two years ago from the first litter of mini aussies you bred. She is my baby! I named her Rooby because she is tri red and an aussie. We love each other so much and everyone else falls in love with her too. She is the sweetest and most loyal dog I have ever had. She has never messed up anything of mine and is very content playing or just sitting around the house while I study. She also loves children and can't get enough of time playing with them I have sent you some pictures of her so you can see what a wonderful job you have done. She is about 30lbs and just the right size. Thank you so much for Rooby! I couldn't have gotten a better dog. Jamie H.

Hey everybody its cody up here in Alaska. Dont know if you remember but i
had you guys send me a little blue merel female named April to me last year
rite arround the 4th of July. she is doing great and has grown up to be
quite the little runner of the house! everyone in the family just loves her
and i have already had many of offers for her when i take her out to run or
to the park. But noe one can even name a price to take her away from me.
it seems like everywhere i go someone has had an aussie before or wants one
after they get to know her. And always, I recomend Fair View Kennels as the
best place to buy a new puppy! i have attached a few pictures so u can see
her and i'm in the process of taking all my new photos and putting them onto
the computer so i will be sending a couple more of her as she is older.

thanks again---cody and Abby

Hello everyone!

Just wanted to update you on my Zoey. She is such an incredible dog!! So much love to share with my daughter and I. We took her for a long walk yesterday and came upon a sand volleyball area and once she felt that sand under her it was a new experience and she took off running circles around my mother and I and would stop and bury her nose in the sand then off and running circles around us again. You did a great job and I am so sad to see her brother Randy is still there, if he is anything like her then he needs to go to a loving home. He looks like her, has that same sparkle in his eyes. She greets me at lunch and after work and my daughter after school with such great passion for life. I know it sounds weird but she is here to live her life to the fullest and include us in every moment! I am sending some recent pictures. Hope you enjoy them. She is a beautiful dog. I am sad that her one really blue eye is not as blue but she is still "our Zoey"

Thanks for the great breeding!

Michelle, Aubrey and Zoey

PS: the one pic of her sitting up is what she likes to do, she will sit on my bed and look out the window and people watch. We will then ask if she wants to go for a walk ro car ride and before we are done asking she is downstairs waiting at the front door as if to say "are we gone yet?"

Hi!

My boyfriend bought me one of your mini Australian Shepherds for Christmas today. He couldn't have gotten me anything better. He's the best Christmas present I've ever gotten.

I wanted to let you know that he's beautiful, sweet, playful and in a very loving home! Thanks so much!

Hello Jeanne

It's been a while since I've emailed but was thinking about you guys recently and thought I would give you an update on the aussie pup we drove out to get from you guys in April 2003. We got a red merle male and he's just awesome. I have worked him some in agility but not too much as I'm really competing more with my other 2 right now but he's in training still and Dakota has earned his Herding Instinct Certificate already and he's in herding training which he really loves. He took right to it last summer when he started. He knew what to do the moment he stepped in the pasture with the sheep...instructor was very impressed with him. He is such a great pup...very affectionate and loving...gets along with everyone but knows when he needs to step up. Actually have some friends that have relatives of his through the pedigree so that's really nice. Can't thank you enough for an awesome pup. He is truely the baby of the family and wouldn't have it any other way.

Thanks again,

Tammy and Dakota

Dear Darrel and Jeanne,

Just took some photos today and thought it would be fun to see the
changes in Yankie & Maggie since the photo in the leaves was taken back
in 1999. We still love her to death!

Thank - Melissa, Dan, Gus & Maggie

Hi Jeannie & Fairview Family!

We wanted to take a minute to wish you a wonderful holiday season, and to give you a quick update on Dozer & Zoey who just turned 2 yrs old today.

Ever since you flew them down to us in Somis, CA, they have jumped right into our family activities. (Including taking up most of the space on our bed!) They love being spoiled ranch dogs, taking long walks through the orchards, and learning agility.

Two bundles of pure wiggly puppy power, Dozer filled out to a handsome young man weighing 60 lbs and Zoey is our petite young lady at 45 lbs. (But, don't let that fool you, Zoey rules the roost.) We've included a picture so that you can see how beautiful your pups have become!

We are absolutely in love with the two of them and cannot thank you enough for the wonderful new family members!

Merry X-mas & Happy New Year!

Dear Jeanne and Darrel,

I thought you might like to know how Sky is doing! Our vet was very impressed with his markings and form. Everyone that sees him just falls in love with him! He weighs 18 lbs. now and was housebroken in 3 1/2 weeks. He loves to play ball even with (after) Argues outside. He's making friends with the cats but is still too bouncy for them. He's really leggy now and will soon be jumping over the baby gates! He performs a "happy dance" at feeding time, but has learned to sit before I put his bowl down. We're still working on curbing his biting and chewing, but he's young yet. In short, we're thrilled with him! Thanks for letting us visit so my times.

Happy Thanksgiving,

Brian, Kay, Nate, Seth, and Melanie
