Drummer is owned by Tom and Anna Trooien
Hello Erin.
I wanted to keep you updated with Drummer's progress. This
breed has taken
over our hearts ! He is a great dog !!! What a personality !!! Drummer is
starting puppy
kindergarten on April 12th. at Jump Start Dog Sports. I think he might be
already too advanced ! I'm primarily doing it for socialization. I also am
taking
him to herding school. He's been through a basic instinct test with sheep
and shows great potential ! I take him to herding classes once a week at
three different locations all working him on sheep. Trainer says it is
easier to move from sheep to cattle or ducks than to start at ducks and move
up. Hopefully he gets his herding titles and eventually does some trials at
Drummond Ranch.
We also take him on longggg walks regularly. This past
weekend Anna, Drummer
and I walked to our favorite coffee house 2 miles away! four round trip! met
many dogs on the way back and Drummer even played with a seven year old
female Golden Retriever for about 15 minutes. Got back, Drummer's not even
tired ! This is at 13 weeks ! can't wait till he is an adult !
As I stated in my last e-mail, what is your plans for future
litters ? Anna
and I would like to get another aussie soon. I talked it over with Anna and we
both would prefer to get another puppy
from you. We both like you and the way you conduct yourself as a reputable
breeder. Not to mention the great loving environment you provide your dogs ! We
definitely want to get a female from your next litter.
Let me know, take care..........Tom
