Hey Lindsey,
I just wanted to give you an update and some pictures of
Dexter. He is doing great! Learning new things all the time
(although he isn't very fond of treats lol). Loves to play
with the cat and is very sociable. He is loving in up here
in Nebraska. He is happiest on a brisk morning, seems to
really perk him up. I also wanted to let you know that
you could place on on your list of happy customers or a
picture of Dexter on your page. He is turning out just
beautiful! You'll see in his pictures. Thanks so much for
our wonderful little guy. We are just crazy about him.

Hey Lindsey! Just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you
once again for the wonderful pup!!! He's happy, healthy and tons
of fun! Everything was e-a-s-y and I picked him up at the
airport completely hassle free. He has been my almost constant
companion since. I purchased him to be my "farm dog" and so far,
he's managed to by my "house dog". LOL! I have had him outside
and he's been so well socialized that he's taken to absolutely
everything he's been introduced to. Loves to chase the cats and
the Yorkies!!! He stays at my heels almost constantly. Even if
something scares him, he braves it up and just stays right at my
heels. He might want "up" after he's passed the scary object,
but he goes where I go. Regardless. I dearly LOVE that trait
about him. He's going to be perfect for what I was wanting him
for. I can also see the intelligence in him even at such a young
age. He's already thinking about things like how to navigate the
big scary orange wheel barrow! And how he can best play with the
pitch fork while I'm picking out stalls. LOL! Ornery and smart.
Perfect in every way! Love him to pieces. When it comes time for
my next one, I'll be coming to you first. Thanks so much for
everything. If you need a reference, please feel free to use me!

Hi Lindsey!
I've fallen in love with another one!!! Lindsey's First Rate
Review, the little blue merle boy! He is SOOOO adorable!!!!
Please tell me he is available!!! I want him soo much! I've
been looking at him the last few days and I love his color
and his cute little face!!!
Plus Mocha wants another little friend, Snowy plays with her
but she doesn't have the puppy energy ;)
I would love it if you put us on your satisfied owner's
page!!! I've included two pictures. If that little blue
merle is still available, I could come get him on the 1st!!!
I am having so much fun with Mocha, she is soo smart and
loving! And I really like that she is soo loyal to me and
stays right by my side!!! Even outside she follows me
everywhere I go and doesn't wander off when she sees a
neighbor or another dog or cat! If she starts to chew on
something she's not supposed to all I have to do is say her
name and she stops. She now pretty much knows what is hers
and what is not and she doesn't even touch the babies toys,
it's funny how she knows the difference!!! And she's already
trying to herd Snowy all over the house...haha! She's really
good with the baby so Mali Monkey is doing an awesome job!!!
She will give him a kiss when she first sees him but then
she won't bother him unless he goes to her. Then she'll lay
on the floor and let him pet her. Most other puppies would
be all over a baby jumping on him or nipping him but she
DOESN'T!!! I can leave him on the floor with her and not
have to worry when I walk into the other room :)
I've looked at other Mini Aussie breeders but you are the
one I keep coming back to! I barely even find a pup that I
like or would even consider getting! But when I look at your
website the hardest part is picking just one!!!
Thank you soooo very much!

Lindsey,
Thank you for being a wonderful breeder for Aussie’s.
We have picked our two puppies up from the airport on Friday
and everyone was bragging on them about how beautiful they
were! Yes, we are very happy with our little guys.
They are sweet, playful and loving puppies with our family.
We are pleased and have bragging rights with our new toy
aussie pups!
Thanks again,
Tracy
Lindsey,
Yes I did! He is gorgeous and wonderful! :)
My fiancée and I love him. My other mini aussie is getting used
to being
nipped at by the little guy (We named him Otis). He already lets
us know
when its time to go outside. He also comes to our call.
We brought him with us to a store and several people commented
about how
cute he was and how pretty his eyes were. I made sure to them
where I got
him! :)
Thank you!
I have never owned
a dog in my life and really never had an interest, but when
I went through some tough times I decided I really needed
something to help me get through. I started researching dogs
and their attributes as I wanted to be sure I got something
that didn’t shed, was easy to train, I could take with me
almost anywhere, and was generally well behaved. When I came
across your dogs in my search I knew I had to have one! She
has been everything I wanted and more. Everywhere I go
people stop me and tell me how cute she is. I am in a dog
training class and she learns so fast that the teacher uses
only her as an example. She is always exited when I come
home and she is quite all night in her small dog kennel in
the bedroom where I sleep! She goes most anyplace with me
and is so well behaved (to the airport where I skydive to
the airfield I fly remote aircraft to friends houses, etc)
She has given me a portion of my life back and I never
thought I could care for an animal so much or that she could
do so much for me. Thank you so much for my dog Parra.

Hey Lindsey,
I just wanted to let you know that everything is going great
with the new puppy. Everyone is adjusting very well. When I
finally made it to WV on Tuesday she was very happy to see me.
She gave me a ton of kisses immediately when I picked her up...
It was love at first sight for both of us!
I decided to name her Molly and it seems to fit her pretty well.
I can't believe how pretty she is! She is even more gorgeous in
person and her copper is so bright. She has such a great
temperament
and is so sweet and playful. She's already a sucker for belly
rubs and she follows me around everywhere I go! Tilly (my
Pomeranian) is getting along with her pretty well for it only
being the first few days. I imagine that in the future they will
have a wonderful friendship. Tilly is already becoming more
active because of Molly... something that I was hoping would
happen!! Molly is also doing great with training. She's already
going potty outside and is doing very well with crate training.
I've taught her to sit and she comes to me when called. I can
already tell that she is one smart cookie!
I want to thank you so much for taking such great care of your
dogs and I really appreciate everything you've done for Molly.
Her immediate attachment to me proves how well you socialize and
handle your puppies from birth for an easy transition to a new
home. Purchasing Molly from you was a breeze and she is exactly
what you said she would be. I'll be sure to recommend you to as
many people as possible. You are such a wonderful breeder!
I can't thank you enough for such a wonderful addition to my
little family. When the time comes to adopt another dog, I'll
definitely be coming back to you! I'll keep you posted and I'll
send you some pictures as soon as I can!
Sincerely,
Jessica Phillips
Lindsey,
We purchased our
first Mini Aussie ("Roo" blue merle female) two years ago
from you and fell in love with the dog and breed
immediately. What we didn't immediately realize was the
quality and personality you breed with your pups. 6 months
after buying our first aussie (which was from Porter Horses
aka Lindsey's Aussies) we wanted another, but unfortunately
you didn't have the color we wanted so we went with another
breeder only to be very disappointed by the dogs demeanor.
We found a more suitable home for her and learned color does
not mean quality. So we resisted the urge to replace her,
but all the while we kept watching your website daily for
updates and reasons to get another one, but the next time we
knew it would be from Porter Horses AKA Lindsey's Aussies.
Recently that day finally came and we selected "Snickers" a
black tri female. Once again our hearts have been stolen by
one of your puppies. We greatly appreciate the time and
effort you put into raising your puppies. There IS a
difference in your breeding and you go the extra mile to
help select a good fit for the pup and the home. Your
pictures and videos are incredible! We don't know how you
find the time and patience to get the great shots you do.

We will
be forever grateful to Lindsey for our new puppy, Kota. From the first time
we spoke, Lindsey invoked a level of confidence in us that was very evident
that she is an exceptional breeder and she truly cares about her animals as
well as her customers. We consider Lindsey a good friend and feel so lucky
to have met her. Lindsey is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and responsive.
We are proud to say Lindsey is the "real deal" and we give her a 12 out of
10.
Before Kota arrived Lindsey would send photos, videos, and answered every
question we had so that we would be prepared once Kota arrived.
When we took Kota to the vet, she received a perfect report card! The
vet was impressed with how responsive, healthy, and settled Kota was at 10
weeks.
We feel so lucky as new parents that we met a new friend in Lindsey and such
an amazing puppy we could not possibly love more!
Hey Lindsey. Just wanted
to give you an update on Lindsey's Jasper. He is a Dec 2009 Sky
x Vegas puppy. He is an amazing dog and we could not be happier
with him! He has now bred 2 of our females so we are waiting for
our first litter of puppies. We are so excited! Thank you so
much for helping me pick this male, he is a major part of our
family and daily life!

Last
Christmas, I lost my long-haired Chihuahua, Peeper, that I had
had since I was 4. And immediately, my mom began the
search for a new dog...on Christmas day. Chances were
slim. Mom began searching for a smaller Aussie, but had no
luck. Only by the grace of God we found PorterHorses a
year later. We recently got a toy blue merle Aussie named
Bree, (Panda/Hotshot) and a toy tri Aussie named Tex
(Sniper/Jamie) from Lindsey and they have been such a blessing
in my life. They have filled the void in my heart I had
for a year. I wake up to puppy kisses and go to sleep with
snuggles on the neck. They are the sweetest, yet the
smartest little dogs. And I can't forget to thank Lindsey
enough for trusting me with Cooter, one of her favorite males.
I am so delighted and excited to have him! He is gorgeous,
and a sweetheart. He is going to be one spoiled baby and
will be spending a majority of his time at baseball games with
me. Thank you so much Lindsey for bringing joy back into
my life with your beautiful puppies and of course, Cooter. :)
I love them very much!

We have had
the pleasure of purchasing two toy aussies from Lindsey. We are
really enjoying our fur babies. They go everywhere we go and
love every minute of it. I am amazed at how smart these puppies
are to be so young. They try to please and love praise. They are
like our children and are a welcome addition to our family. I
had been searching for a breeder for over a year. After meeting
Lindsey I knew I made the right decision. I have called her
several times both before and after I brought the puppies home
and she answers any questions and is always willing to help. She
is an animal lover and has her dogs best interest at heart. It
has been a pleasure dealing with Lindsey, and I would highly
recommend doing business with her. She has high quality puppies
and is very easy to work with. I will be buying a couple of more
puppies and I will buy them from Lindsey.

Hi
Lindsey,
Just wanted
to let you know how happy we are to have Jimi in our household.
He has been an absolute joy to have and we could not be happier
with him. Thank you for taking time to answer all of my
questions. I have attached a picture of Jimi so you can
see just how beautiful he is turning out to be.
P.S. I am
looking forward to meeting you in person at the "Red Dirt
Shootout" dog show.
Thanks
again,
Lori
Hi
Lindsey,
Just wanted to thank you so much for picking out the perfect dog for
our family AND for assisting in the whole Christmas surprise...I was
totally shocked since I thought both of the pups we were considering
had been sold while we wasted time thinking it over. Little
did I know, you guys had arranged this whole surprise!! Tahoe
is absolutely everything I wanted in a dog. He's playful with
the kids and can calm down quickly to sit on my lap. He went on his
first car ride to pick up the kids at school and now has his own fan
club of grade school kids! He's just a doll and LOVES to
snuggle and nuzzle. Thanks for letting him come join our
family! We all just love him SO much!! Happy Holidays!!

Hi
Lindsey,
We are getting excited about our new puppies that are on the way
and
know that they will be a great addition to our family. We think
that
Blue is the best and we will continue to recommend you to
everyone
that asks about him. We can only hope we are lucky enough to
have our
new red boy turn out as well as our Blue has. He was a surprise
for my
husbands birthday and my husband never asked for a dog but now
wouldn't know what to do without him. They really do have a
strong
bond. In fact my husband likes Blue so much that he hasn't
minded me
adding to the family and getting a few more dogs. I just love
these
dogs and can't say enough good things about them. Thanks again
Lindsey
for everything. I am sending you a few pictures of Blue so you
can see
for yourself what a good looking boy he is, he always has a
smile
and is such a happy boy.

Thanks Lindsey for doing such a WONDERFUL job with her and the other
puppies. Without a doubt, the quality of your kennel is second to
none, as is obvious when you meet our new little girl! I'm so
pleased that I found you!" --Deanna of Oklahoma
Hey
Lindsey,
We absolutely love the new addition to our family. We
named him Newt after the trouble maker in Lonesome Dove, a
perfect example! We cant help but smile every time we look
at him, he is the most playful puppy I have ever had. At
only six weeks old he is already a great "truck dog" , very
eager to please both me and my fiancée. Thank you so much
for such a flawless buy. If I ever need another puppy you
will be the first one I call! Please feel free to use me
as a reference! I will send pictures soon!
Here is a pic of Ginger. She is 2 years
old now and such a good girl! We love her so much and she is so loyal to
us. She will follow me wherever I go and she does not run away. Her
perfect day would be playing ball and fetch all day long with my boys.
She is really good at it too! I think she is ready for a little toy
sister!!!
I can't say enough about Lindsey .... I've been 100
percent satisfied with not only the dogs but the horses that I've bought
from her. She's a very honest and up front person which is very hard to
find in this day and age. She sold me my first mini Aussie "Rowdy" and
I've been hooked every since. His temperament as well as confirmation
and attitude are just wonderful and beyond reproach. I've also purchased
several horses from her and to this day still have them. I've never
regretted my decision to do business with her. I'm happy to say that
we've become good friends and will hopefully continue to be in the
future. Thanks again Lindsey for everything.

"I can't tell you how happy we are to have J.J. here. He came off
the plane with his tail (what there is of it) wagging, and he was giving us
"kisses" as soon as he came out of the crate. He was obviously very
well socialized; he loves people, and everyone loves him! He has
stolen the hearts of the entire family, all of our friends, our neighbors,
and even people we meet on the street when we take him for walks. He
is happy, healthy, friendly, playful and loveable. He has been such a
great addition to our family. Thank you so much for making this
possible, and for making it so simple. I have never had a dog shipped
before, and all we had to do was show up at the airport to claim him.
It couldn't have been any easier.
J.J. is growing quickly, and he is pretty well
housebroken. We have trained him to ring a bell we have hanging by the
door when he needs to go out. He's also figured out that if he rings
the bell he gets to go out and play. I have to say he is one of the
smartest dogs I think I have ever seen. Megan has taught him a few
tricks, and she is working on more. It's so much fun just watching him
grow and learn!
Thanks again for all of your help, and keep
up the good work!
Kathy Blackwell
"It
is hard to put into words how happy we are with our puppies. We are
still in awe over them, they are beautiful and so much fun. Our
whole puppy buying experience from the beginning with Lindsey was
awesome."
"We stumbled into Lindsey's website by luck--we were
apprehensive to buy a puppy over the internet, but after one
phone call with Lindsey we were sure we wanted a puppy from
her! She really went above and beyond what we expected a breeder
to do. We felt so great due to the constant phone calls,
pictures and advice, that we ended up getting two puppies!
Now that they are home with us they're better
than we imagined---and we cant thank Lindsey and Porterhorses
enough for their great start!
Love
Michael, Jenny & Sydney and Sly of California"

"Doing business with

Working with Lindsey
was a pleasure! She was true to her word and raised outstanding
puppies! Very easy to work with! We are just crazy about our
two puppies! If anyone wants to call and ask questions about the
Porters or the dogs feel free! They raised perfect dogs!
-- Jim and Peggy Thompson
Dealing with the
Porters has been awesome. They made it all go so easy!
Lindsey took every one of my phone calls, which there was a ton of, and
spent lots of time helping me pick the best THREE puppies! (The
one picked out for my family of course is the smartest of them all)
I would tell everyone to go and buy from the Porters. These
puppies are awesome. You can tell they were raised with a caring
touch everyday. Not cage raised! I can not thank them enough
for the best dogs in the world!!
