(Teddy,owned by Jan and Duane, Bred by Dunham Lake Aussies, pictured above at almost 1 year, was potty trained easily)
It would be nice to keep the guessing out of knowing when your 4-legged friend needs to go outside. Some dogs, like our Aussies, come up to us and stare at us, one has a certain bark he makes, yet another will sometimes jump up at us and when she does, you know it's time to run to the door.
Every pet owner eventually figures it out and looks for the signs from their dog, but ...

Recently, I was approached by a supplier of an all natural dog food line wondering if I would consider selling their products on our website. The sales woman was quite pleasant and educated in pet food in general and of course her product line, which was produced by a Veternarian so I agreed to sample it.
The product was all natural didn't contain corn, high in protein and it was clearly fresh. Our dogs really liked it.
This product isn't available in stores and shipping fees I felt were ... Continue reading ...

In the Aussie world in which we are involved, by our peers, we have been challenged, harrassed, loved, stalked, included, excluded, welcomed, ignored, highly encouraged, commended and supported. Quite the range of experiences! Than... Continue reading ...

How'd you get started in showing dogs? What's it like to show dogs? I get asked these questions many times so let me tell you...

Our first show was in St. Cloud MN, we didn't have any idea what we were doing. The girls wore tee-shirts with their dogs name on them and wore jeans (that's NOT how it's done :^). We thou... Continue reading ...

If you adopted a puppy from Dunham Lake Aussie's, your puppy began potty training at 6 weeks. By the time you receive your puppy from us at 12 weeks, he/she is close to being potty trained as well as knowing basic commands. Here are some tips on how to help you complete the training or if your puppy didn't have any potty training you will need to train your puppy yourself.
The Australian Terriers we have raised and bred were VERY easy to potty train. That's because we spend hours a day wi... Continue reading ...

Australian Terrier Breeder

Greetings from Northwestern Wisconsin!
I am a wife and a mother of 3 wonderful daughters. I home school 2 of our girls and our 3rd is in her Senior year of college. I work part time at our church. I also have a small Website business providing website design to small businesses and friends.
Previously, I had a 25 year banking career. Retired several years ago, as a Vice President of Commercial Banking and Business Development Director for a financial institution.
I have owned and raised dogs and cats for over 40 years. In 2007, we started to show and raise Australian Terriers. We have 4 Australian Terriers and 2 Australian Shepherds. We have AKC Champion Aussies including one of our Aussies has been ranked in the top 5 All-Breed Terriers in the United States. That being said, our dogs are first and foremost our companions. Our two younger daughters, are actively involved in Junior Showmanship, it has been a great activity for them and our family as well. I take my role as a breeder very seriously. I have studied the breed for several years, I support health testing and temperment testing as well as evaluating proper conformation prior to breeding. We had our first litter Spring of 2009. Our litters will be few. We believe in breeding for quality not quantity. Regardless of whether your puppy comes from us or not I hope you find our site a helpful resource. If you have questions about our program or about the Aussie Terrier, please e-mail me theresaagoiffon@msn.com or give me a call@ 715-689-2675. Thanks for visiting us!
Blessings, Theresa
