| He is super easy to train and enjoys training activities - he is programmed to pleaase. Every morning he goes in the car and drops Ruby off to school and he now walks very well on the lead. For a puppy he is very sensible and brave when out walking! He has surpassed all our expectatonss and we just love having an ACD in our family. Thanks for making all this possible. Coralie Nichols |
| SUNNY the ACD Hi Carol - thought you might like to hear an update on "Rocket Man" the puppy that we purchased from you nearly three weeks ago. We feel like he has been with us forever - he has settled in beautifully. Our daughters re-named him Sunny. He is already house trained and will come when called and sit on demand. On the first night we had him he settled down with our Spaniel and we didn't hear a squeak from him til morning - he has been the perfect boy since his arrival. He has the most wonderful personality - laid back and calm. |
| Happy Owners of a TAGETARL Puppy - if you would like to be added to this page, send us a happy snap and a bit about your lovely pup. |
| LILLY the ACD Hi Carol, I have my precious little bundle of joy. , she is adorable, I named her Lillly, I love her to bits, thank you SOOOO much for this beauty. She settled right in. Had a bit of a shock last night, I think coz the Muswellbrook show was on and the fireworks scared her a bit so I brought her inside till they were finished. She has been told who is the boss by my Pomeranian, so funny, Lilly just wants to play but Pooky isn't having a bar of it, HA HA. We have been playing fetch the ball this morning and Lilly is very efficient at emptying her water bowl so it now has a brick in it. Nunya Zimmer, NSW, Australia |

| DENIM and LACE both ACDs Hi James and Carolwyn, I am writing to order another pup. We presently have one of your bitches 'Lace' (Tagetarl Laced Lightning) 09/08/96 she is 12 1/2 years old now and has been a loyal and true friend to the family. We would love to get another bitch while we still have her to be a good teacher. We also had another from you 'Denim' (Tagetarl Denim) 18/12/00. He was beautiful but unfortunately came out the worse after a dispute with a brown snake...he was 5 when he died...very sad. Allison Taylor and Rod Tonkin. Queensland |

| ANZAC the ACD Thanks guys, he (Anzac) is very well, already housetrained and women keep pulling us up on our walks. Yes he is a very attractive dog indeed and good job guys. When we have breakfast Anzac scoots into the children's bedrooms, pulls off the covers and barks till they get up. We reckon it's bliss not having to listen to the kids complain about getting out of bed. Anzac just knows when its brekky it's time to get up. Again thank you and we will see ya when we see ya. Cheers, Larissa and Gene Hill |
| WILLOW the ACD Hi Steve and Carol, we are really enjoying Willow! She has settled in extremely well and has the most wonderful personality. We are very pleased with the quality of her breeding. We could not be happier. Best regards, Mal and Liz Reinhard, NSW |

| QUIGLEY the ACD He is now two and a half and a very good looking boy. Loves riding (secured) in the back of the ute. He has become a very good 'watch' dog - took him a while to grow up but now he has it down pat. Kathryn Ansell |
|
| JESSIE KING the ACD Hi Carol, we have decided to call her Jessie King. She is almost responding to it to it. We have fallen madly in-love and she is proving to be a gorgeous cheeky little girl, very smary and sleeping though the night (hallelujah), making a very efficient alarm clock at 6am. Thanks for your help and advise, we are really enjoying our new baby girl Clare Louise |

| BOB the stumpy Hi Carol, Just writing to update you on the blue Stumpy male which we named Bob. He is a fantastic dog, always wants to be with you, swimming, playing ball and riding in the ute. Thank you very much, kind regards, Penny Grenville W.A. |

| MILLY the ACD She (Milly) is totally awesome. Milly is now 5.5kg and expanding by the day. She learns very quickly and listens to me. It's great to have someone doing that. She is looking forward to the opening of the barramundi season. Will send a photo with her first barra. Alan Gurney, Queensland |

| TED the ACD He is going great. We decided on Ted for his name. He is a little champion and we absoloutely love him. I will send you some photos as he grows. He is still a fatty and loves camping down at the river. Clinton Whittaker, Katherine NT |
|
| BRANDO the ACD The pups a lilttle champion. He's settled in really well with basically no fretting at all. He has learnt the layout of the house and already has his favourite cool spots to lay down in, one is right under the air-con. inside. He's really relaxed eating, drinking and sleeping well. He's also clearly displaying those ACD traits that I love. He owns the place on day 1, he looks at you like 'Ive got my eye on you', and he hasn't balked or freaked out at anything, definately got no fear. The missus loves him to bits. Jim Cryer, N.T. |

| RUSTY the Stumpy Tail ~ aka Champion Tagetarl Stumpy Go F Gold Hi Carol and Steve, just want to say that the time has gone by to fast for us and hope its not too late to thank you both for sending us down a red Stumpy Tail pup to Melbourne back in 2000. Rusty has kept us busy with home life and the dog show world. We are more than pleased with what we have accomplished with this great red StumpyTtail Cattle Dog fromTtagetarl Kennels. Rusty has been a teriffic family pet and a wonderful show dog indeed. 2006 Go F Gold was awarded theGglen Iris Perpetual Trophy for BEST EXHIBIT IN SHOW at the Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog Club of Victoria Show. That made my head spin for months. Then in 2007 I entered Rusty in the Melbourne Royal Show and won runners up! it was a lot to soak in but enjoyed the whole adventure while it lasted. Now Rurty is nearly 11 years old, we enjoy each day with a lot of fun! Thanks to TAGETARL KENNELS for this Little Red Flame...keep it going. Linda and Gary Porter, Melbourne Victoria |

| DUSTY the ACD aka 'Dusty Darling' To the beautiful people Steve and Carol Beckett from Tagetarl Kennels, thank you ever so much for my puppy. Registered as 'Dusty Darling' I now have a pure Australian Cattle Dog...ACD for those in the know. My birthday present last year, and though I did have to wait, good things come to those who wait! He ws better looking than a doll when we collected him and now is 9 months old and becoming 'the man'. Thank you soooooo much Steve and Carol. Dusty is naturally very odebient, learnt from an early age how to walk on the chocker to heel, knows sit and stop. Jesse is walking him twice a day and they are very good for each other. Jessse turned 73 last month and could hardly walk ( knees) before we got Dusty. Dusty roams with 43 peacocks, 3 turkeys and half a dozen chooks, no problems at all. Corrine Jarc, Howard Springs NT |
