Doggie crowd and their people at Kew Beach off-leash park
Sisters Photon, Cobalt and Raven [photographer’s comment: please note that the gravel and waves are focused, it’s the dogs who are blurry!]
On Tuesday at Kew Beach we had a little get-together of several Toronto-area Stoverly mini aussies (and their people). We ended up with six minis (and one non-Stoverly, standard aussie Charli) representing two main breeding lines: Photon, Cobalt and Raven W are all Hershey-Max siblings (Raven from a previous litter); and Splash, Bean and Jazz are respectively, mother and daughters from two different litters.

To Jazz’s owner’s disappointment, the dogs couldn’t care less about their family relationships; Splash and her daughters never really acknowledged each other much, showing the typical aussie reserve towards new dogs or people. Hershey’s girls, by contrast, had a great time playing with each other, both in and out of the lake—but did the same with any other dog who happened by. Dogs just don’t put the same emphasis on blood ties as humans do—and they’re probably a lot less neurotic for it!

Hi Jon & Laura & Peter! I didn’t get out much this summer because I was in rehab hospital so I just had a fabulous borrowed summer vacation looking at all the pictures and messages on the blog. Jon, your legs have really grown, and so has your dog! It looked like everybody was having a great time. I’ll see you soon, and give Photon a big scratch behind her giant ears.
love Loris

Hi there! I stumbled upon your page while trying to find mini aussie groups in toronto. we have a mini aussie pup and we havnt had the luck of finding any like her here in toronto. Do you think maybe next time you all meet up at the beaches or wherever we could bring our pup out to meet some of you
