Up & Coming
Ezra
A legacy in waiting. A brilliant mind. A teacher in disguise.
Some dogs capture your heart slowly. Ezra captured mine when took his first breath.
From the moment he was born, there was something special about him. Not just because of who he is, but because of what he represents—the continuation of a legacy built by the incredible sires who came before him. Ezra carries the influence of his father Farmer and his grandfather Nash, two dogs who helped define what we value so deeply in our Australian Shepherds: exceptional temperament, connection, intelligence, and the ability to truly be a companion.
But Ezra is not simply carrying on a legacy. He is creating his own. Ezra is still young and has plenty of growing, learning, and life ahead of him. He is a dog who keeps us on our toes in the best possible way. He challenges me to be a better handler, a better trainer, and a better partner for him. He has taught me that sometimes the dog you have is exactly the dog you need.
Ezra has reminded me to slow down and pay attention to the small things, the importance of a simple gesture, a moment of eye contact, a connection built through trust. He continues to push me outside my comfort zone and encourages me to keep learning so I can understand him better and give him everything he needs.
Ezra is smart. Not just smart. Smart with a capital S. Nothing gets past this boy.
He is incredibly observant, eager to learn, and so much fun to work with. Training with Ezra is a partnership, and watching his mind work is one of the many things I love about him. And then there is his personality. Ezra has a presence that is impossible to miss. He has a joyful spirit, a big personality, and one of our favourite things about him—his doggie smile. He brings laughter into our days and reminds us that the best dogs are not just talented; they are full of life.
We are excited to watch Ezra continue to mature and discover the incredible dog he is becoming. The future is still being written, but we believe Ezra has all the qualities needed to carry the torch forward. A legacy is not inherited. It is earned. And Ezra is just beginning his story.

Tux
A gentleman through and through.
Some dogs make an impression with their looks.Tux does that too but it's his heart that truly wins people over.
This handsome black tri boy joined us from Packet Ranch, bringing with him exciting new bloodlines and a future full of promise for Coyote Creek. Compact in size with excellent bone and beautiful structure, Tux is everything we hoped for and so much more.
He is incredibly intelligent, eager to please, and approaches life with the kind of happy enthusiasm that makes him a joy to live with. Whether he's learning something new, spending time with his people, or simply looking for the next cuddle, Tux gives everything his whole heart. And if there is one thing you'll learn quickly about Tux, it's that he loves everyone. He is an affectionate, devoted little snuggler who believes there is no such thing as too much love or too much time spent with his people. His gentle nature and willingness to connect with those around him make him a wonderful companion and a pleasure to work with.
As one of the newest additions to our program, Tux represents an exciting new chapter for Coyote Creek. His pedigree brings fresh opportunities, but it is his temperament, character, and kind heart that make us most excited for his future.
We cannot wait to watch this handsome brown-eyed boy mature and see the impact he will have on both our program and the families who will one day welcome his puppies into their homes.

Jenga
Beautiful, brilliant, and always ready to keep life interesting.
Some dogs quietly grow into their place. Jenga arrived knowing she had a role to play. The daughter of Easy and Kix, Jenga is a beautiful reflection of the qualities we treasure in both of her parents. She carries Easy’s lovely structure and sweet nature, along with Kix’s affectionate, people-loving personality. And then, of course, she added her own unmistakable Jenga flair.
This gorgeous red merle girl with two beautiful blue eyes is as captivating on the inside as she is on the outside. She is smart, confident, and incredibly quick to learn. Watching her process new things and figure out the world around her has been so much fun because she is always one step ahead.
Jenga is a character. She has a wonderfully expressive personality and has never been one to quietly wait for life to happen around her. She loves being involved, loves attention, and approaches everything with enthusiasm and confidence.
As a young dog, she has the joyful energy and big personality we expect from a puppy who is learning, growing, and discovering her place in the world. We are excited to watch her mature and see how her confidence, intelligence, structure, and temperament continue to develop. One thing is already certain, Jenga has presence.
She is Piper’s half sister and has happily accepted the role of bossy younger sibling. Piper may bring plenty of personality of her own, but Jenga has no problem reminding her that someone needs to be in charge. 😉
We are incredibly excited about Jenga’s future at Coyote Creek and look forward to watching this beautiful girl continue to grow into the incredible Australian Shepherd we know she has the potential to become.
Piper
A big personality wrapped in a beautiful red merle coat.
Some dogs quietly make their way into your heart. Piper arrived with a little more confidence and a lot of personality.
From the very beginning, she has made it clear that she loves being involved in everything happening around her. She is an affectionate girl who enjoys attention, loves her people, and has no trouble letting everyone know when she would like to be included.
Piper has a wonderfully expressive personality. She is enthusiastic, engaging, and full of the joyful energy we love so much about the Australian Shepherd breed.
She is the kind of dog who brings laughter into everyday moments and reminds us that every dog has their own unique way of communicating and connecting with their family.
Behind all that personality is a genuinely sweet and loving girl. Piper enjoys being close to her people and has inherited that wonderful desire for companionship from both of her parents, Rein and Kix. She also keeps us entertained with her confidence and youthful enthusiasm. While she may have a big personality with the humans, she has already learned that Jenga has some important lessons to teach her about life. Jenga has happily taken on the role of keeping Piper humble, and Piper has respectfully accepted that some rules are not up for negotiation. 😉
Piper is still growing into the dog she will become, but she already shows many of the qualities we value at Coyote Creek: a love for people, a joyful spirit, and the desire to be a true companion. We are excited to watch this beautiful red merle girl mature and see how she carries forward the wonderful qualities from her incredible parents. Piper doesn't just enter a room, she brings her own special kind of sunshine with her.

Walker
A little guy with a very big heart.
Some dogs are special from the moment they arrive. Walker was special before he even took his first steps. Born as the 10th puppy in Deja and Kix’s litter, Walker entered the world as the smallest of his siblings. With some smaller dogs behind him in his pedigree, his size was not unexpected, but his beginning still required extra care and attention.
For a time, Walker needed a little more help than his siblings. He was a determined little guy with a strong will, but sometimes needed assistance making sure he got what he needed. There were moments when we weren’t sure what the future would hold, and he reminded us just how precious every puppy and every moment truly is.
But Walker had other plans, he refused to quit. With support, patience, and a whole lot of love, Walker grew stronger every day. And once he found his footing, he made sure everyone knew that being the smallest did not mean being any less capable.
As he grew, Walker never let his size define him. He kept up with his siblings, matched their enthusiasm, and proved that determination comes in all sizes.
Today, Walker is everything we hoped he would be and more.
He is the perfect combination of his parents, Deja and Kix. He carries Deja’s calm, gentle, uncomplicated nature and Kix’s affectionate, people-loving heart. He truly represents the very best of both of them.
Walker is the definition of a heart dog. He and I are equally attached to one another, and he has become my constant companion. He joins me on adventures everywhere we go—from car rides and camping trips to boat days and everyday errands. Wherever Walker goes, he leaves an impression.
His beautiful blue eyes and freckled nose make him impossible to resist, and we have learned that any outing with Walker will take a little longer because everyone wants to stop and meet him. And honestly, we understand why. Walker is not just handsome, he has the personality to match. He is incredibly well behaved, intelligent, loving, and naturally connected to his people. He has an easygoing nature that allows him to fit into whatever adventure comes next. He is the kind of dog who makes life better simply by being there. To us, Walker is worth far more than anything money could ever buy. He is one of the reasons getting up each day feels a little brighter.
