Marabil Australian Shepherds and Ashfall Australian Shepherds are thrilled to present our first joint venture!
 We are so excited to see this litter grow and will be keeping the website updated weekly.  Also, as an extra
treat, Elise will be keeping a "Puppy Blog", so be sure to follow that as well.  She has great stories on the
puppies and a bunch more pictures of them as well.  You can access the blog at
lassenxsway.blogspot.com    

The pups are now three weeks old and tearing up the joint! *LOL* They have been introduced to their first
meal that doesn't come from Lassen, and according to Elise, they are a litter of chow hounds!  Check out the
pictures of their first meal on the blog.  Way too cute!!  They have also starting playing with their toys and
practicing the vocal skills, a fact which they are trying to hide from Elise.  Every time she hears someone
barking, she tries to sneak in and see who it is, but they have already perfected their innocent look..."Barking
Mom?  Not us!  Nope...not us!"

I have to give credit to Elise
for trying to stack 3 week
old puppies for pictures!  
NOT an easy task!! LOL
I love this boy's sweet
face, it reminds me a great
deal of his Daddy, Sway.
Such a cute boy!  A really
nice example of what we
were hoping to achieve
with this cross.
Clearly there was a "Diva
moment" going on here!  
Because if that's not a "You
can't make me stack!" face,
then I don't know what is!!
Our lone blue girl and
quite the "fan favorite".  
Ms. Acadia's sweet face
is already turning heads.
Obviously trying to show
up her siblings by holding
her "stack" all on her
own! Well, almost! LOL
Yes, there were better
pictures of her cute
face, but I couldn't
resist!  I am Gila, hear
me ROAR!!!
The smallest of the boys, I
love Bandelier's wonderful
powder blue color and soft
copper. Darling!!
Apparently being the
biggest puppy comes with a
few perks...like not having
to stack for a picture if you
don't want to!
