Sioux lives near Silverton Oregon with Ty & his family at Turtle Creek Cattle Company!

In September '08, Ty sent this note..."Sorry I haven't been in contact sooner. Generally I don't get the chance to sit at my desk until about 11 o'clock at night. I just wanted to let you know how much we love Sioux.  He has jumped in a become such a part of the family it seems like he has always been around. He is so smart and so kind. We have just loved having him around. Plenty of good stories about him. He is already working cows. I have tried to go slow with him, but he is such a natural it has been hard not to use him at such a young age. My biggest concern is always his safety, as well as the safety of the cattle, but he works so smart and safely we are training on the go. I need to take a camera out with me. I have to have the dogs hold the cows off of feed while I fill grain feeders and he had that figured out after the third trip. He just goes out to the perimeter and sits and stares. He has figured out the difference between sorting in the pen and when we need to push to load them. He has just the right amount of bite to get 'em moving, but not to bite for bites sake.

Sioux at 6 months of age...

and already a handy ranch dog!

Anyway, I could go on and on, but I just wanted to say thanks again and let you know how well he is doing. You guys should be very proud of the dogs use raise, as I have been around dogs my whole life and have never seen a better one than the one I purchased from you. Thanks. Ty"
