Tiffany loves spending time outdoors with her dogs walking and staying in touch with nature although her favorite thing is to bury her nose in a good story book. Her dogs have helped her lose over 30 pounds, inspired her to eat healthier, and be more active. Her dogs are Tiffany’s regular models and the primary subjects of her photos.
Tiffany also enjoys occasionally doing dog sports with her pups including Herding, Agility, Dock Diving, backyard Frisbee, and Freestyle Dancing. Together they aim to inspire other people to have more fun with their dogs.
Tiffany volunteered with Arizona Cattle Dog Rescue by photographing hundreds of adoptable dogs, attending adoption events, creating videos for grant applications, videos of adoptable dogs, event flyers, etc., fostering multiple dogs, and by adding available foster dogs on PetFinder and the website. She currently continues to volunteer with ACDR with posting adoptable dogs online. She is incredibly grateful for the support, community, and family she has found in the people of ACDR and loves helping the dogs.
Tiffany is currently studying business and is working on a couple of coffee table photo books. “Little Bits of Bella” is being re-worked into “Heart of a Heeler,” and the ongoing personal photo project “The Teeth Project” can be seen on Wind Wolf Photography’s website.
Tiffany grew up with all kinds of animals in her family-from dogs, cats, horses, a mule, and donkeys to chickens, peacocks, pheasants, quail, and goats. She lost her father when she was eleven from a rattlesnake bite-he had an allergic reaction to the antivenom, and when she twenty-one she lost her mother to alcoholism. While losing both parents is a tragedy, from the ashes and smoke a Phoenix can rise again and under the right pressure and circumstances a rough stone can be transformed into a bright and beautiful diamond.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What breeds are the canine stars?
Bella is a purebred Queensland Blue Heeler, also known as an Australian Cattle Dog or Heeler which comes in Red and Blue. Kronos is an Australian Cattle Dog mix. Terra is a purebred Australian Shepherd.
Where did you get your dogs?
Bella came from a family who had a litter of pups in their backyard. Terra came from a breeder who specializes in working and show Australian Shepherds. Kronos is a rescued dog who was a puppy stray and then adopted from Arizona Cattle Dog Rescue.
Do you recommend a dog from a Breeder or from a Rescue?
This is completely an individual choice. We support reputable breeders who have health cleared dogs bred for function, temperament, form, and who raise the puppies in a household environment. Dogs should be able to breath, play, walk, swim, and be physically able to do what they were originally bred to do. If not, pick a different breeder. It’s even better if the breeder uses the Puppy Culture stimulation and exposure program and it’s always advisable you meet both parents first to have an idea of what the puppies will be like. We also support reputable rescue organizations who put the dog’s needs first and match based on the dogs temperament, energy level, and the family’s needs/interests. If you’re interested in getting a dog through a rescue and are looking for a specific breed, there may be some breed specific rescues you can research and explore. Getting an adult dog from a breeder or rescue will allow you to know the dog’s base temperament and if the dog is good with cats, people, kids, dogs, etc. Either way you go, make sure you’ve researched the breed or the mixes of breeds that you’re going to get so you have an idea of what you’re getting into with that breed.
Aren’t Cattle Dogs and Aussies the same?
No, they are two distinct AKC recognized breeds. One is the Australian Cattle Dog (which comes in Blue and Red) and the other is the Australian Shepherd. Also, there are Stumpy Tailed Australian Cattle Dogs and Lancashire Heelers which are each different breeds.
Are Australian Shepherds from Australia?
Just to confuse you, no. Australian Shepherds are an American bred breed (Mini Aussies are now officially called the American Shepherd). However, the Australian Cattle Dog is an Australian breed and it was mixed with a dingo in its heritage. Another interesting fact is that Australians call redheads and Red Heelers “Bluies.”
Your dogs are amazing! Should I get a Heeler or Aussie for my next dog?
If you love Great Danes, American Eskimos, a mixed breed, or some other breed, get that breed and have fun with your dog. ACDS and Aussies are certainly not for everyone. Both breeds are bred to boss around a 1500 lb cow and bite the nose if the livestock refuses to budge. Both breeds will nip your ankles, chase you if you run, are very high energy, love to bite (literally bred to do so) and will destroy your house without an appropriate outlet.
Aussies have guarding tendencies, and Heelers are independent, want pretty much nothing to do with strangers, and tend to be one-person dogs. Do your research on dog breeds-there are over 250 out there and each one is different and good for certain lifestyles.
If you love the look, energy, temperament, coat maintenance, barkiness, physical size, and other characteristics of a breed, go for it. While energy levels can vary in individuals of the same breed, if you’re a couch potato and don’t want to walk your dog much, but still want a dog, maybe a companion breed is perfect such as a Cocker Spaniel or Havanese instead of a high energy German Shepherd or Border Collie. However, if you like a breed see if you can find a “Companion only” breeder-in this case you can get a Border Collie with low energy and without the instinct to herd which may be bred out of this line.
If you are super active and want a dog who can fetch, swim, run, and go for a walk without easily overheating, you probably would want to be careful getting a Frenchie, Bulldog, or other brachephelic breed that has genetic breathing problems and may opt for a different breed. If certain coat types bother your eyes and nose, maybe a hairless dog or hypoallergenic breed would be best. If you’re an elderly person who is physically limited, maybe getting a smaller dog like a Pug or Maltese instead of a German Shepherd, Doberman, or Mastiff would be the best option for you.
What is the story behind the name?
We were previously known as the Cattle Aussies, but it quickly became prevalent that people were confused by this name. This also pigeon holed me into these specific breeds and wouldn’t allow for other dogs should I choose to get a different breed. For awhile I had been signing my correspondence with my dogs’ and my names, but that became tedious. At first I shortened it to Tiffany & Co., but the problem there is that is a big trademarked jewelry company. But since my name is Tiffany, I decided to go off of the jewelry theme and came up with the Diamond Dogs. My dogs are diamonds in the rough, because although they are each so far from perfect, they are perfect for me.
Who are your biggest training inspirations?
Our original training inspiration were NanaTheBorderCollie and JollyVicky on YouTube. Our other inspirations are Karen Pryor, Temple Grandin, Jumpy the Border Collie, and Secret the Aussie.
What kind of training do you use?
All tricks are taught using relationship based training, clicker training, and positive reinforcement training
When should I start training my puppy?
Training with your puppy begins as soon as you bring the puppy home! Whether you are intentionally training or not, your puppy is a little sponge and always learning! While you probably shouldn’t do a lot of high impact training such as high jumping or things of that nature while their growth plates are developing, we think that letting your puppy be a puppy is very important. Lots of short play sessions along with a variety of toys for your pup to chew on and play with will tire out your boundless bundle of joy (with minimal to hopefully no damage to household objects). Tricks and backyard agility are fun to challenge your pup and teach them how to navigate with their bodies. Teaching your pup what to do is soooo much easier than teaching them what NOT to do! It’s much harder to circumvent counter surfing once it’s learned than it is to have your dog always learn to keep their paws on the floor while in the kitchen. And to keep your pup from chewing on inappropriate objects, make sure they have access to lots of appropriate ones! If they do grab a wrong one, trade them for one you’d like them to play with. However, here make sure you are also giving your pup lots of attention when they are doing something you like or they may start looking for trouble just to get any attention!
Do puppies have short attention spans?
Puppies are extremely intelligent and their brains are little sponges taking everything in! While many things are new to them and there is so much to look at and do, they learn quickly what works and what doesn’t. If jumping up gets them treats, picked up, petted, and lots of attention, they will continue to do it. However, if being polite and sitting gets them the same things, they are more likely to repeat that. Training sessions should be kept short as much of the learning and processing takes place between sessions!
My rescue dog or new puppy pees in the house! What should I do?
Puppies need to eliminate after everything! After they wake up, before bed, after they eat, after they play. Keep an eye on your pup and make sure you give them plenty of opportunities to go where you want them to go. Take them to the designated potty area to go and praise them after they go. Soon your pup will be asking to go outside to take care of their business and indicating if they have to go out. They will learn that your bedroom and the house is their den and won’t want to go inside. If you have an adult dog which isn’t potty trained, the same applies. Treat them as a puppy and take them to go out after everything and again before bed. It is unrealistic to expect your dog to hold it for 8-10 hours every day while you are gone. Set them up for success with potty pads or an elimination area-whether that’s access to outside with a doggie door or coming home to let the dogs out or having someone else stop by to let them out to potty. If you expect them to hold their pottying for that long, please try that yourself and see how well that goes. If peeing inside while following a schedule persists, please get your dog checked by a veterinarian as they may have a Urinary Tract Infection or other physical ailment causing the issue and no amount of “training” will fix the underlying health problem. If your dog is lifting their leg in the their house (mostly males) and your dog is clear of UTIs and bladder infections, a wonderful house training aid is a belly band. Some dogs may mark over another dog’s smell or refresh their smell so the belly band will insure as you are teaching a dog where to go that even if they lift their leg they are not marking the furniture. If your dog is older they may develop incontinence and aren’t able to hold their pee as well. A few things which may help make this easier on both of you are urinary supplements, spinal massages, and washable wearable doggie underwear.
My dog cries and hates when I leave! Any tips?
Whenever I leave, every pup gets a treat. Your pup will still be sad when you leave, but will be less so. Something that may also help is to leave music or the TV on so your pup doesn’t feel like they are alone. If barking in a crate, covering the crate may also help so they feel safe and secure in a den-like setting as long as they don’t eat or destroy the blanket. Depending on how and where you leave your dogs if you only have one dog you could leave stuffed Kongs with your dog as long as you know that is safe depending on your dog’s chewing style so they can learn to be comfortable alone. One person got a mannequin so their dog wouldn’t have separation anxiety when left. When Kronos was a pup, he was left in a crate with a bed and lots of puzzle toys and treats. He’s since graduated to being left free in the house since he is non-destructive and the house is puppy proofed, then everyone gets a treat when I leave the house without them.
