At Sunset Hill Aussies, nothing makes us happier than seeing our pups thriving in their forever homes. Our Aussie Spotlight series shines a light on the incredible dogs who have been adopted and the wonderful families who love them. From adventure buddies to loyal companions to budding superstars, each of our Aussies has a unique story worth celebrating.
This specific spotlight interview is dedicated to: Kyle from Ohio (Dog Parents: Star x Oakley)!
**Answers written by the owners**
🐾 What is Kyle's Favorite Past Time?
Tugs and snuggs (tug of war and lots of snuggles)
🐾 Favorite Destination?
Mom’s house and grandma’s house! Anywhere my girls are.
🐾 A Theme Song For My Life Would Be:
🐾 I'm Obsessed With:
My girls and my girlfriend (husband’s dog Willow). Grace is especially not allowed to be a in a different room than me.
🐾 If I Could Fill My Own Shopping Cart on Prime, It Would Contain:
Treats, chew toys, frisbees, and balls. We REALLY like squeaky toys and tug of war!
🐾 One of My Odd Quirks Is:
Happy twirls! LOTS of twirls when I’m VERY excited :) as well as aggressively rolling on toys!
He also kicks his feet after going to the bathroom, but only if he sees Willow (his girlfriend) do it. Just the other day, she was kicking her feet after going to the bathroom and he literally walked over to stand beside her and started kicking his feet with her.
🐾 My Secret Naughty Habit Is:
Occasionally eating a piece of a toy and then throwing up all my food 🙃
🐾 My Overall Temperament Is:
Best Bud- mix of laid back and let's adventure. Backyard fun and neighborhood walks are my jam.
🐾 Funny Question: Is Kyle a Bathroom Stalker?
YES, every move you make!
🐾 Funny Question: What are Your True Feelings About the Prime Delivery Guy?
This world is full of interesting sounds - which one’s the delivery guy??
🐾Any Achievements You'd Like to Share With Us?
Despite Kyle’s crazy energy and easily-distractedness, he’s very good at his disciplines. Kyle will wait with a treat on his nose - even if I leave the room and shut the door - until I say “okay!” Same thing with waiting to chase a toy - he’ll wait until I tell him, “okay!”. And even though he gets distracted and leaves his toys outside, when I tell him “pick it up!”, he knows to look for his toy and bring it to me :)
🐾 Anything Else You Want Us To Know About How Awesome You Are?
Kyle is THE perfect blend of sweet and obedient with what I call his “crackheadness". He’s got the playful energy and makes us laugh all the time, but is a VERY good and easy pup - doesn’t chew things he shouldn’t, only rarely eats pieces of toy (and thankfully they’re always so tiny), and I’ve never had such a snuggly dog. He lays anywhere and in any position - I often wake up with him laying on my shoulder or my chest and his face next to mine, and he’ll give me some sleepy kisses. He and my other Aussie, Rudy, VERY quickly converted my husband from being not a fan of small dogs to now having a preference for toy Aussies and bragging about them to his friends and coworkers :)
🐾 What Were The Top Reasons You Chose SSH as Your Breeder?
Before I was sure about getting a dog, I had questions about Merle Aussies, and I FaceTimed Jill to ask questions (found her website online and it seemed legit and real). I quickly loved her transparency, love for her dogs, and free wisdom without expecting anything in return. Then my mom and I had THE BEST experience with Jill once we put down the deposit for Kyle. She takes SUCH good and intentional care of her parent pups and baby pups, provides them with much enrichment, keeps us informed, provides lots of helpful information along the way, and puts out precious and humorous content on social media. I was especially amazed by how she keeps track of everyone both before and after sending puppies home - her pups’ new owners, the owner-given puppy names, etc. she stays in touch and remembers us. My mom and I now swear by Jill to everyone we know and are both eager to connect with her again for future pups :)
