	Dreamer Patchwork's Dream Weaver Dreamer is our first Mini, and has lived with us since 2001. She's probably the smartest dog I've ever seen - which doesn't always mean they're the easiest to live with! I have lost count of how many tricks she knows, and many of them she invented herself. She is "ruler of the pack", although she often holds herself aloof from the rest of them with the exception of Simon. She never forgets any person she has ever met, even if it has been a couple of years since she's seen them. She is spayed, as she came to us as a pet, but we love having her as part of our lives!
	Twila Patchwork's Twilight Masquerade I'd never wanted a blue Merle until I saw the pictures of Twila as a puppy. She is very uniquely marked, sort of a "black tri head on a Merle body" as one of my friends put it. Twila is the foundation of my breeding program, her bloodlines are Ch. Patchwork's Blow Your Horn Gabriel X Ch. Patchwork's Simply Irresistible. Twila and I made our show ring debut at the 2007 Mini Aussie Nationals, in Houston Texas. In her first show she placed 3rd out of 12 in the Open class, and the next day won the Open Blue Merle class, over a group of 7. Since these were the best dogs in the country, and we were so inexperienced, I am very proud of that accomplishment! Twila did compete in Agility, completing her Open level titles in NADAC, but just never seemed to really enjoy it. She LOVES being the chief watchdog at home, and keeping everyone organized. Twila first litter was born December 9, 2006. There were 7 gorgeous puppies, of which she took exemplary care. We are looking forward to her next litter, due May 1, 2008.
	Rosie Jr. Ch./International Ch. Picasso's Suni Rose Rosie is my first bred by pup, out of Twila's 2006 litter. Her sire is Patchwork's Eye of the Tiger, "Sly", a son of Ironhorse Take a Chance on Me, "Bug". She is developing quite nicely, and achieved her IABCA championships in one weekend. Her major love is disc (Frisbee) and we use that to keep her exercised. Her agility training is progressing well - she's a dog who really wants to work with you! She did her first Therapy work at the young age of 12 weeks, and really loves being with all sorts and ages of people. When she's 2 I'll have her OFA done, and if all goes well she can join her mother in my breeding program. She is truly a delight to have around.
