Heavenbound's Lola: 2010 Madison County 4-H Dog Show
(loved and owned by Samarah and the Wilson Family)
This is the 2nd year of competition at the 4H level for Samarah and Lola. Lola has been very easy to train and she is so intense when she enters the show ring. Lola is not only Samarah's show dog but she is a member of our family. She loves to swim, go for long trail rides (following us on horses) and she is a fantastic farm dog. But, when she enters the show ring she is all business. Lola and Samarah went on to win this year: 1st place Obedience - Novice Sub B, 1st place Sr Showmanship, 3rd place You & Your Dog, 2nd place Information Canine Poster.
Samarah and Lola are planning a big step forward to showing in obedience at their first AKC show in October!
We have bought our Aussies from Heavenbound for over 10 years and raised puppies of our own with the guidance of Barb, owner of Heavenbound. Our puppies have gone to loving homes as companions and also to homes for competition in obedience and agility. We are happy to say we plan on a continued long relationship and friendship with Barb and Heavenbound Farm!

Heavenbound's Tori and her owner, Maria, win Top Ten Junior Handler at the UKC Nationals - July 9-11, 2010
Tori takes a well-deserved rest after winning at UKC Nationals
Heavenbound Farm has been home to Australian Shepherd dogs since 1973 and Missouri Foxtrotter horses since 1985. We started breeding Aussies in 1978 and they have become a large part of life. They are wonderful companions, silly entertainers, protectors of life and property. Never a day goes by that I am not amazed by something new this breed can understand.
They know when sorrow is bearing us under; they join in the giddiness of rolling in a fresh snowfall; they listen for the sound of our truck engine and run to meet us at the door; they see the danger of a horse getting too close to us in the field and get in between to drive him away; they see the opossum and raccoon as thieves of our supplies and protect our goods and gardens; they snuggle in our bed (if allowed) and keep an ear out for danger while we sleep; they guide “our little sheep” away from harm by standing in the gap. How could life be right without our Aussies? What better friend could there be? If you have never experienced an Aussie’s devotion, check them out—a great addition to a family and a wonderful companion if you are single. Fun, adaptable, smart, beautiful. They have it all!

Missouri Foxtrotting Horses
Heavenbound is also home to Missouri Foxtrotter horses, the pleasure horse of today. Smooth gaited, sensible, lovely to watch and ride. They are good natured and medium sized horses that will return you to the barn less fatigued after a long day in the saddle. More like a big dog than a horse. Come try one out... "To Ride One Is To Own One." See the Missouri Foxtrotting Horses page for more info on Heavenbound's horses for stud and for sale.
