Duchess




Duchess is wonderful! She is a BEAUTIFUL dog! The pulling on the leash problem has been 100% helped with the "gentle leader"!! No problems and we can actually walk her! LOL When we are on the beach walking her people stop and comment on how pretty she is and call her Lassie!!! Of course.....LOL

Duchess is Jachin’s best friend.....and it's actually hard to discipline Jachin when Duchess is in the same room! Very protective. That's great!

I will have to send you a picture of her!! She weighs a little over 50lbs right now....and loves to ride in the Hummer! I just say "ride" and she jumps up!

Take care and thank you again for our addition to the family!!

This is Ayiana (aka Hermione). She is 15 weeks old, learning new thing around her everyday. She's very curious and also very active. She makes all my neighbors smiling and love kids very much. This was easiest adoption ever and I know it's not just Collie being friendly but because of love and training she received at Hickory Creeks. Big thanks being such a wonderful breeder and I am forever grateful.

Sheila (aka Audrey)



Hannah (Maria)



I just wanted to let you know what a delight Hannah is. She is so good and your obedience training was wonderful. I am enjoying having her and my border collie is so happy to have a puppy to romp and play with.


Thanks again for all you did.

Alan at 1 year old. He is a good boy with lots of energy to burn at times. He gets along well with all other dogs he meets at parks and training classes. His chewing has decreased, except for grandma's hearing aide!!!! He seems to still be growing, and although there are days when he is quiet and layed back there are days when he is like CUJO!!!

Molly








Molly is doing really great; she is such a good girl! We haven't had any problems at all with her being in her crate, and she hardly ever has accidents. She does really well with other dogs and people. She is always so friendly, especially with kids. Anytime we are outside and she hears or sees a child she just stops and has to go see them! She is always more gentle and calm around them. She does pretty good with our cats two. One of them, Vinnie, still just does not like her! We think once she is older and calmer he will come around. Our other cat Copper likes her though. Molly tries to play with him but he is so lazy that he just plops on the floor next to her and she just steps on him. But usually he will let her lick his ears. I've attached a picture of the two of them. I also attached a picture of Jonathan when he was a little boy with one of his grandmother's collies that looks a lot like Molly!

Duchess


Duchess is doing great and is just a huge part of our family! She LOVES taking walks on the beach. She sits, paw shake and will lie down...on command. She is very good around children and so friendly. She loves getting a bath and she a Jachin are just best buddies!! They play all the time together. One day I went to Jachin's door and he had Duchess in a sleeping bag and said they were having a camp out!!! LOL Duchess loves riding in the Hummer and is SO good when we travel. The staff at the vet’s office loves her. The Manager actually was commenting on how you just don't see collies anymore and they are so beautiful. I had to tell him all about Hickory Creeks Collies and where Duchess came from. The Staff had to show her off to everyone in the office! She was a big hit!

Marley


Melissa,
I can tell she spent a lot of time in the house with you because she follows me around.
She's doing really well and very well behaved. We changed her name to Marley and she responded to it right away. We are enjoying her so much she is the best dog we have ever had. She and Riley are the best of friends, partners in crime actually. The have a great time playing together around our property. Her check up at the vet went very well, he was very impressed by her and also by the care you gave her. I haven't had to put her in her crate for weeks; she sleeps with Riley and never has an accident. The only thing we have to watch are our shoes, she sometimes comes walking out of our mud room with one in her mouth. Thanks for sending us such an amazing dog, we couldn't be happier!

Alan




Alan is 7 1/2 months now and is weighing in at 68 pounds. He is a very good boy. He loves his rawhides, but also likes to get into the brillo! He graduated with honors from his training class, sitting, heeling., lying down and making figure eight circles, although I'm sure Melissa had him doing this before we got him. We love him and he is a wonderful addition to our family!!!!
