        Hello Pam I am sending you a wonderful photo of Boomer. He will be turning 1 year old in a few weeks. I have only owned him for 2 1/2 months. He was close to 10 months old when I purchased him from you. It was LOVE at first site!!! Although my husband was set on the younger puppy I insisted that there was something so very special about that little red speckled older male puppy. After discussing and convincing my husband that the older red now named Boomer was the BEST choice, we chose him to go home with us. Boomer short for boomerang has adjusted to my home life exceptionally well. And so quick with the crate training and house breaking. He learned the doggie door in lightning speed!!!He learned stairs just as quick. He is my little goldfish!!! As you can see he loves his pool. Toys are also a favorite. I guess I am a favorite of his as well. He loves to play fetch and has so many clownish ways that he makes us laugh when he plays. I had him neutered as per your contract, 1 week after being with us. That was a little hard on him being away from us for the day. Well no, it was harder on me, I didn't think the day would end so I could see him again. Since I am a dog groomer Boomer was groomed professionally the day I got him. He did fabulous for everything. From the bath to nail clipping, brushing and combing, to standing on the grooming table and being dried with a very large hair dryer. What a little trooper he was. Just call me a perfectionist, I just thought he needed a day at the spa so he could bond with me better after leaving his first human "mom" so he could go to his new life with me. I can't thank you enough for him. I love him more than you could imagine!! As he matures and I can trust him more, since he still has a lot of puppy in him, he WILL be sleeping in bed at night. Please feel free to use me as a reference because I will tell everyone that calls look at any of the older puppies if she has one. They are the BEST!!!  Don't pass over the older puppy just to pick the cutesie little one. The older puppy will adore you and bond so much quicker because it is older and more mature. Yes the little ones are just as cute but I would take Boomer all over again if I had to do it over. Thank You again for my Boomer and I can assure you he is being VERY spoiled!!!   J.L. in Buffalo Jct. Va.

        Hi Pam!  I've been meaning to write this for a while...  We were at your place in Dec 2008 and after a lot of contemplation, we went home with a 4 month old little blue girl we named Juneau (I think she was called "kanga" at your home).  I have to tell you that she has been the best blessing to our home over the last year!  She is incredibly smart and loving -- she truly has exceeded our expectations.  She has learned so many things -- I think that she may have the most personality of any dog I've ever been around.  She loves her family, loves learning, and herding anything she can possibly get to.  She is in charge of getting things moving around the house, including us most days!  We truly love her so much.  We came to your place after losing our 10 year old ACD mix and Juneau has filled our hearts.

        We are currently enrolled in agility classes and look forward to challenging this dog.  She's incredibly smart and bored very easily, but we are working on ways to keep her challenged and motivated.  She's integrated herself into our family with ease, and is in charge of keeping watch of us as well as re-organizing everything in the house.

        I have to say that we will be back and will refer others to your dogs and your stock.  Thank you for this great addition to our family, and for all of the laughs that this one provides.  Thanks so much!  We'll see you in a while!

     Hello Pam! Happy New Year!  Hope you and your family are doing well!

    My husband Alex and I got a pup from you about 10 months ago now; the litter was born exactly one year ago, we celebrated Wheeler's first birthday yesterday! I thought I'd check back in with you!
   I have never seen a sweeter, smarter, prettier dog!  He is our pride and joy!  Wheeler goes everywhere we go! He loves going camping, four-wheeling trips, the beach, and frisbee is his favorite - you should see this dog jump! He already knows tons of tricks, and we're signing him up for agility in the spring. And he is so social; we always have lots of people (and their dogs!) over at the house, and Wheeler is always the life of the party! I believe the term you used was "full of himself" when we picked him up - well that is still the case!  He is spoiled rotten, but that's ok. If there is such a thing as an animal soulmate, he is mine.

    I recommend blueheelersareus anytime someone asks where I got such a gorgeous and smart dog!
                        Thank you, Pam, for blessing us with such a sweet boy!

                                               I attached some pics of our sweet one-year old!

                    Sincerely, Mallory Jarrell SHARP International

           Pam,

                      Well it's been almost a week since we picked up Kora from you and wanted to give you a quick update.  Kora is an absolute sweetheart and has a very kind, gentle personality.  Keiah is still my "Wild Child", but the two together are absolutely great together.  They run, wrestle, nip and play with each other all day long and take frequent naps together as well.  Picking up Kora was a great addition to our family and is greatly appreciated!

           Hey this is Nikki and Copper from Brunswick, Ga.  I was updating you on my awesome red heeler I bought from you.  Ouachita Copper Cue (Copper) is 5 months now and is rotten.  He loves unrolling the toilet paper, stealing socks, and cuddling.  Copper has been a great addition after I lost my Best Friend and blue heeler Tuff after 14 years, RIP.  Copper and my Corgi, Taser, have been trying to figure who's gonna be the dominant one, but they play like brothers.  Thank you soo much for my new furkid!! I hope to be a repeat buyer.  Nikki

          We bought a red cattle dog female from you about 4 months ago and we just wanted to let you know that she is doing great. She is about 5 months old now and about 25 pds. She likes to play fetch, ride in trucks, pull toilet paper off the roll, and eat grass. She is very loyal and protective. She is very smart and a great dog all around. Thank you so much for our beautiful dog.  

                                                                     Thanks,  Ashley and Trevor

The Crowder's puppy.

         Mrs. Phillips,

          This is Ellen Crowder, I'm Scott Crowder's daughter.  We just bought a puppy from you about a month ago, and we wanted to give you an update. We named her Lucy, but often calling her by our old dog Shelia.  She has been growing like a water weed these past four weeks.  She knows how to fetch, after much hard work.  Lucy loves to lay on the beds, especially mine!  She is into everything and very curious.  Lucy has definitely brightened up our world after much sadness. If it weren't for you, well, it would be a sad, sad sight around here.  After losing our 13 year old cattle dog, it felt like our hearts we just empty, but Lucy has taken the edge off of things..  Thank you for all that you do, and you can expect repeat business from us again.

                            Sincerely,

                                           Scott, Marcia, Ellen, and Lucy Crowder.

     Hi Pam,

          I bet you wonder sometimes what happened to the Calif. bound puppy (GRANT LANES BLUE MAGIC). He is all grown up and so far I have lived through it.  He passed his puppy class a long time ago but shortly after I broke my neck, so we are a little behind. This  coming Wednesday we start the hard core obedience training.  I "plan" on having his first title by the end of this year.  Then we will go on to his CDX and then his title in Rally.  I really want to title him in agility but that takes  a lot of running with the dog of which I cannot do at this time. IQ is a great dog, he doesn't quite live up to this nickname but we are working on it. He has one speed-run, so obedience is hard for him because he wants to do it at a dead run. If he ever stops long enough I will get a picture of him.  He turned out to be the perfect size, not to big but not small either.  He has a very broad head which makes him look all boy. We love him to pieces. Hope all is well with you and yours.

               Cathy

My name is Hunter Law, and I purchase a male, half mask from you back in Feb. I named him Wyatt, and he is a little over 6 months old. He is a great looking dog, and people constantly compliment me on him. I am in real estate, and take him everywhere with me, people love him. I have referred several people to you, who ask me where I got him. He also amazes me with his abilities, and loyalty. I have always had dogs, but have never seen one do the things he does. I live on the bay, and he loves the water. He has actually catches fish out of the bay. He is huge, and right now is over 35 pounds. I have attached a couple photos of him. Thanks again and I will keep recommending you. By the way, I also appreciate all of the help you gave me, with questions I had, when I first got him.

           Howdy Pam just a quick note to let you know that my red boy "Tuff" is coming along just fine. He helps me with the sort the steers and got the whole herding thing down real good. He is a real good boy and a big help here on the ranch in Montana. I think I want another one sometime soon. I will call you when I am ready. I just have to fine tune Tuff so he can train a younger pup.

         Pam first I want to say that you breed wonderful dogs. I have had my puppy for 3 days now and she is soooo great! I contacted you with regards to the purchase of a blue female. I wanted an 8 week old baby and you didn't have but 3 teenage puppies. I said that " I only wanted a younger pup so that I could bond with it" You talked to me about coming out to see the older puppies and how nice they were. To come visit and see your adults. You also told me that if I didn't like the fact of getting an older pup that I could wait for the next litter. Well I drove the 6 hours to your place. I was just coming to look at your adults and get myself prepared to plan for one of your upcoming litters. I feel in love with the teenagers and you explained to me ALL the benefits of getting an older puppy verses one that is younger The puppy that I bought just had the sweetest look on her face. If I had more room I surely would have taken a second, but I will wait This girl is so smart! She is crate trained, Never potties in her crate or the house, sleeping thru the night, coming when called (well almost all the time) and a number of other great things. I would tell anyone that asks, which is better an older puppy verses an 8 week old pooping, peeing, crying machine? Take the older puppy they bond just as fast if not faster, and they are so much fun because you are not constantly cleaning up messes, taking things out of their mouths and you get the point. You are right younger puppies are A LOT of work. I am just so glad that I came for a visit and feel in love with my girl. I will tell anyone I know about getting a teenager and how great it is. Thank you for explaining all the positive things about teenage puppies. You have now spoiled me with puppyhood being all to easy.

                                  Thanks Jessica, Joe, Roo (blue female), & Cutter (red male), Bangor, Pa.

            Pam just to let you know I am very happy with the cattle dogs puppies I got from you. They are GREAT! I called you inquiring about your dogs wanting a specific type and look of a proper cattle dog. I am very picky about my dogs as I had first told you and I gave you a lot of info as to my knowledge of the breed. The reason I am like this is because I have owned, trained, shown, and have done herding with my dogs for 20 years. I have done cattle dog rescue in the past but had to give that up as it is very time consuming and very sad to deal with. I have been very successful in the obedience ring, ranking in the top ten several times with my dogs. All my dogs have been certified therapy dogs/CGC and herding instinct certified as well. They are also my constant companions and get more than enough spoiling! So I am very knowledgeable about the breed and what I want in a dog. Unfortunately the puppy mills are not far from me and having to see this type of poor quality, poor health and overall bad conformation/temperament, I want QUALITY, so that is what led me to you. Having lost 5 dogs in 16 months (all to age, and one to a fast spreading spinal tumor) my house was very empty with only 3 cattle dogs, and 1 welsh corgi. Having just lost my 9 1/2 year old beloved best friend to a spinal tumor (did the MRI and spent lots of $ trying to save her, but nothing can replace a friend) I needed a puppy to fill the big void in my heart. I contacted you and you were very pleasant to deal with, as I am sure I drove you crazy with all of my questions. You e-mailed me photos. I wanted a red speckled female with solid red ears, you had a red speckled male with red ears, and a blue speckled female with a mask (I only like dark ears). After seeing the photos of the two puppies, I bought the 2 of them, my first puppy with a mask and I can say she is BEAUTIFUL! We arranged for you to ship them to me and was I surprised when I opened the crate at the airport. They were nothing like the pictures! They were far better than I ever expected, the photos did not do them any justice. You have made my husband and I so happy with these 2 puppies that I am also waiting for a puppy (or 2) from an upcoming litter. Again I'm being very choosey in what I am looking for. And again I am sure you will know what I want. I will get my next pup(s) from you. You can NEVER have TOO many Cattle Dogs!

          What a wonderful dog. We purchased our dog from Pam Phillips in October of 2006. We love Harley, he is an amazing dog. We are looking forward to getting a female for Harley. I would encourage people to get their cattle dogs from Pam. What a wonderful breeder, she really loves her dogs.

 Hi Pam,

             I just wanted to let you know how much we love our Blue Sam. It's been about 2 years since we brought him home and he is the kindest, most loving pet we could ever ask for. For the first year he drove us crazy mouthing at us and trying to herd the kids. But, one day he decided to calm down and ever since then he has been gentle and well mannered. He loves to go wherever the kids are and watches over them. I never worry about aggression with him. He is very mentally stable. Thank you so much for breeding such a wonderful family pet for us.
